Self-drive boats in the River Rhine region
River Rhine cruise and boating information
The Rhine flows through several countries, including Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Along its course are several famous and historic cities on its banks, such as Basel, Cologne, Duesseldorf, Duisburg, Strasbourg, Arnhem and Rotterdam.
Some of the highlights of the river cruises:
The Rhine Gorge, which runs from Mannheim in the south to Koblenz in the north, is the most picturesque part of the Rhine Valley and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2022. It has a breathtaking landscape, with vineyards, cliffs, and castles straight out of fairy tales, such Gutenfels Castle, Schloss Stolzenfels, and Marksburg, nestled among the vines on the steep valley slopes.
A beautiful twin-spired Gothic cathedral that has dominated the skyline for centuries is located in the historic city of Cologne.
Freiburg's magnificent cathedral serves as the perfect backdrop for the Christmas market.
Built in Alsace, France, and dating back to 1015 A.D., the stunning Notre-Dame-de-Stasbourg cathedral is 466 feet high and is also a UNSECO World Heritage site.
