8 Days Rhine Cruise to Switzerland - MS Emily Brontë

MS Emily Brontë

Inside, the ship feels light and spacious, making it easy to settle in from day one. There’s a comfortable lounge - the ideal spot for a pre-dinner drink (or post-excursion pause), a bar that naturally becomes the social heart of the ship, and a restaurant where meals invite you to sit back, stay a while and enjoy a taste of the local flavours.

There’s a 24-hour reception too, so help is always close at hand - whether you need a helping hand or just want to know what’s coming up next. And our fitness area is available for anyone keen to keep moving between shore visits.  

Up on the sun deck, you’ll find the best views on board. With a mix of seating and loungers, it’s a favourite spot as the ship glides past vineyards, villages and riverside towns.

Thoughtfully designed around everyday comfort, MS Emily Brontë offers a relaxed, welcoming and easy way to experience life on the water.

Glide past the pretty towns along the Rhine River, experience the Rhine Gorge, explore Alsace’s Strasbourg, see the Black Forest and the breathtaking Alpine scenery on a mountain rail journey into the Bernese Oberland.

On our journey through the Rhine valley, we visit historic Koblenz where we have time to explore the old town at the confluence of both the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Next, we continue through the Rhine Gorge where the valley walls tower above our heads and onto Rüdesheim, where we enjoy another evening complemented with an excellent dinner on board. Our cruise continues south, stopping in medieval Speyer with its stunning Romanesque Basilica that dominates this pretty town. The next day we arrive at the city of Strasbourg where you enjoy a walking tour of the old town. Continuing, we drive through the typical rolling tree-clad massif of the Black Forest onto the charming town of Freiburg. Our final destination is Basel, from where we venture to stunning Lucerne and into the Bernese Oberland for unforgettable mountain vistas.

This Swiss river cruise is ideal for travellers looking for a relaxing way to see stunning alpine views and visit historic European towns.
