Highlights of the Rhine River Cruise, featuring Riviera Travel
🔸Stretching 766 miles, the Rhine begins high in the snow-capped Swiss Alps, issuing from the Lanta and Grauhorn glaciers. It flows through six countries before reaching its journey’s end in the Netherlands, where it empties into the North Sea.
You will adore exploring the picturesque towns lining the banks of the Rhine, spot castles stretching up from the dense forest surrounding it, and cruise past the jagged rock faces carved by the river over millennia. It’s no wonder the scenery has inspired many historic writers, composers, artists, and travellers.
No other river in Europe has so many famous and historic cities along its bank.
Top 5 places you will visit on this 8-day river cruise:
🔸Lucerne – Switzerland
One unmissable site while exploring the ancient town is Chapel Bridge. Said to be one of the oldest covered bridges in Europe, this wooden footbridge spans across the river Reuss. Printed triangular frames detailing the life and death of its patron saints – St. Ledger and St. Maurice – cover the roof of the walkway.
🔸Black Forest - Germany
For nature lovers, the Black Forest is an absolute must-see. Named after its thick canopy of dark evergreens, gliding through the Black Forest is akin to stepping into a fairy-tale. With rugged mountains all around and the rush of cascading waterfalls and white-water rivers, it’s said to be the setting of tales written by the Brothers Grimm
🔸Strasbourg France
The city’s rich architectural history features styles from the Medieval, Renaissance, Romantic and Art Nouveau eras. You will tour the cobbled streets in Old Town, pass the sloping roofs of timber houses and emerge on bridges filled with brightly with enchantment.
🔸Bernese Oberland – Switzerland
The region of Bernese Oberland boasts more than 800 lakes surrounded by snow-capped mountains peaks, jagged rock rocks and rolling green hills. You can hop on board the mountain railway for extraordinary vistas, crystal-clear glacial lakes, lush green meadows, and thick forest you’ll find some of the best mountain scenery on earth right here.
🔸Rhine Gorge – Germany
As you float along the Rhine River, through the Rhine Gorge, there are 40 castles and fortresses to spot. Many of the castles were built in the 12th and 14th centuries. Then you will follow the loop of the river passed lush vineyards home to award-winning wines and local vineyards. The elegant Rieslings from the banks of the river Rhine are treasured worldwide.
