The details

What's included

  • Settle into your City Escapes river cruise in Amsterdam. You’ll appreciate the easy start, familiar comforts on board and flexible choices ashore that set the tone for longer port stays.
  • Enjoy a morning exploring Amsterdam your way. Wander the galleries of the famed Rijksmuseum, join a flavorful culinary walking tour or get hands‑on at a flower arranging workshop.
  • Enjoy a Düsseldorf walking tour that pairs local stories with tastings of Altbier and Käsebrötchen, or dive into the city's striking modern architecture on a guided tour. Alternatively, tour the city of Cologne, discovering its lively streets, Kölsch beer and traditional Reibekuchen.
  • Spot the castles along the Rhine Gorge this morning. Spend the afternoon your way: see Chagall windows and Gutenberg history; focus on Roman Mainz or Jewish heritage; indulge in the Mainz culinary history; or explore the city on two wheels.
  • Arrive in Ludwigshafen and set out for nearby highlights. Choose Heidelberg for a tour of its imposing castle and a wine tasting, or visit Speyer’s Technik Museum, dedicated to transportation technologies throughout the decades.
  • Follow your curiosity through Strasbourg today. Wander half‑timbered towns on guided walking tour or take in the city from the gentle rhythm of your bike.
  • Spend the day around Breisach with options that fit your style. Head to Colmar for colorful streets and the Bartholdi Museum, visit the charming town of Staufen im Breisgau in the foothills of the Black Forest for a tour and wine tasting, or choose an active visit to Château du Haut‑Koenigsbourg with hilltop views.
  • Say goodbye to your crew and fellow travelers as you disembark in Basel.
