Cruise into a fairytale along the Upper Rhine, with Zurich & Zermatt

Flowing between the Swiss Alps and the North Sea, the Rhine is one of Europe’s prettiest waterways. Discover the many charms of this tranquil river, from fairytale villages to ancient castles and terraced vineyards.
On this eight-day journey along the Upper Rhine, you’ll be immersed in the rich diversity of Germany, from the ancient mysteries of the Black Forest to the quaint charm of Rhineland wine towns. Dip into France and be charmed by World Heritage-listed Strasbourg, at the heart of the famed Alsace wine region. Relax on board while you marvel at the breathtaking landscapes of the World Heritage-listed Rhine Gorge, passing fairytale-like castles, steeply terraced vineyards and the legendary Lorelei Rock. Immersive experiences will take you to the famed spa town of Baden-Baden, through traditional German breweries and to a private concert in the opulent Bruchsal Palace. On board, performances from local musicians will introduce you to the authentic sounds of each destination. Before your luxury river cruise, enjoy a one-night stay in Zurich and a two-night stay in Zermatt, discovering the hidden treasures and natural beauty of these Swiss cities and beyond on guided tours – including the spectacular Glacier Express. Enjoy time at leisure to explore more of the delights of Zurich and Zermatt.
