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.
