Delight in splendid river valleys lined with vineyards and hilltop castles on this seven-night, first-class cruise through the Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland. Glide along Amsterdam’s 17th-century canals, and marvel at UNESCO World Heritage cathedrals in Cologne and Speyer. In Cochem, walk along cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses and visit the picturesque castle above town.

Cruise through the Rhine Gorge, a winding stretch renowned for its beauty, and stroll through lovely Koblenz, where the Rhine and Mosel rivers meet. Tailor this journey to your interests with a choice of included excursions. In Amsterdam, opt for the Rijksmuseum’s famed art, a countryside bike ride, or a food tour in the hip Jordaan district. Choices in Rüdesheim and Heidelberg feature cultural visits and scenic walks.

In Strasbourg, France, take a panoramic tour, explore the charming Petite France area by land and water or sample Alsatian cuisine. Enjoy an ample meal plan, plus wine, beer or soft drinks with lunch and dinner. No single supplement!
