Celebrate the fairytale beauty and romantic spirit of the Rhine
Flowers tumble from baskets lining streets of half-timbered houses, and
light glints off quiet canals. A mighty river carries ships and cargo
through a landscape shaped by time and history. The spires of Medieval
churches appear around each bend, and vineyards climb the hillsides.
Discover Alsace, whose dual heritage, French and German, has given it
fabulous food and a wine-growing tradition that goes back to the Romans.
Cruise along the Rhine—Germany on one side, France on the other—and
savor French joie de vivre and German Gemütlichkeit. Bicycle
beside the river, passing Roman ruins and Romanesque churches. Marvel at
castles, once mighty fortresses that guarded territory and trade
routes, now romantic ruins towering above the water.
Meet modern France and Germany in vibrant small towns and bustling
cities that brim with historic treasures of art and architecture. Taste
delightful white wines in the villages where the grapes are grown.
Beethoven and Byron loved the Rhine and its landscape. The beauty that
inspired them is still yours to experience.
Who will enjoy this cruise: Those who love fine white wines
will discover a plethora of delights; romantics who love the picturesque
and the historic will find Medieval castles, splendid cathedrals, and
scenes that have inspired great poets.
