The Rhine, steeped in history, offers an ideal setting for a river cruise holiday. This legendary waterway begins its 765-mile journey in the Swiss Alps, meandering through Germany, France, and the Netherlands before reaching the North Sea. Along the way, you’ll encounter a rich tapestry of culture and history, from the storybook castles that line its banks to the centuries-old wineries that continue to produce world-renowned wines. The Middle Rhine Valley, or Rhine Gorge, is a true highlight, where steep cliffs and picturesque vineyards create a breathtaking backdrop. Cities like Basel, Düsseldorf, and Cologne add a cosmopolitan flair, with art, history, and local cuisine waiting to be discovered.
