The Germans refer to their longest and most important river as "Father Rhine." A voyage on the Rhine offers a chance to experience 4
countries as you travel from Amsterdam to Switzerland. You pass more than 20 fairy-tale castles and discover the legend of the Lorelei. From Cologne and it's impressive cathedral to the mountains and
rolling meadows of the Black Forest. From 700 year old Marksburg castle to Heidelberg and the oldest university in Germany. Wooden shoes of Holland to Cuckoo clocks and Black Forest Tortes this curise offers all the
highlights of the legendary Rhine.
2,000 Years ago the Romans brought their vines, the Germans provided the climate, soil and sloping hillsides. Wine lovers will enjoy
what this centuries old collaboration produces. Romantics will delight in the storybook castles, medieval towns made up of half-timbered houses and majestic cathedrals. Once you hear the song of the
Lorelei it will enchant you forever.
The Rhine inspires everyone it touches. Julius Ceasar to built the first bridges, Wagner to compose his thunderous operas and Turner
to paint his great paintings. The river has a way with those it touches. Rich in history and an inspiration to artists, this cruise on the Rhine offers something for everyone. Museums, full-bodied
Reislings, grand architecture, quaint medieval wine villages, fairy tale castles, world-class chocolates, canals, wooden shoes. A 40 mile stretch of the Middle Rhine Valley between Koblenz and Rudesheim is so
magnificient it is part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. European cruises are the best way to go.
