Day 1 (Sat.) Board your overnight flight to Amsterdam.
Day 2 Amsterdam, Holland. (Embarkation) (Sun.)
Welcome to Amsterdam! Holland’s capital is sophisticated and modern, with a rich and fascinating history. The works of famous Dutch masters can be seen in world-renowned museums such as the Rijksmuseum or the Van Gogh. This afternoon the crew of your vessel awaits to welcome you on board. (D)
Day 3 Amsterdam. (Mon.)
There is no better way to see the city than by CANAL BOAT, cruising through the elegant grachten lined with stately homes dating back to Amsterdam’s “Golden Age.” Afterwards your river cruise vessel sets sail for Cologne. (FB,L,D)
Day 4 Cologne, Germany. (Tue.)
Cologne is one of Germany’s largest cities whose river skyline is dominated by the soaring twin spires of its magnificent Gothic cathedral. The Germano-Roman Museum located next to the cathedral is a must for history buffs! Try a Kölsch in one of the many taverns and shop for a bottle of 4711, the original “eau de cologne”. (FB,L,D)
Day 5 Coblenz-Rhine Gorge-Rüdesheim. (Wed.)
Situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle Rivers, 2,000 year old Coblenz is the cultural and business center of the Middle Rhine region. The Deutsches Eck, located on a tongue of land where the two rivers converge, holds a gigantic equestrian statue of Wilhelm I. The dramatic Rhine Gorge is the most beautiful stretch of river. Pass the legendary Rock of the Lorelei where sweet songs of local beauties lured enchanted sailors to their doom. Pretty Rüdesheim is the perfect example of a Rhine Valley wine town. Explore the Drosselgasse, pick up some souvenirs, and be sure to try one of the vintages in any of the little wine taverns. (FB,L,D)
Day 6 Worms-Excursion to Heidelberg. (Thu.)
Worms was an imperial residence with a legendary past. It was here that the reformer Martin Luther attended the Imperial Diet of Worms, with far-reaching consequences. Heidelberg is Germany’s oldest university town. The ruins of the imposing red sandstone CASTLE, tower above the city. Of particular interest is the GIANT VAT, an 18th-century wine cask holding 49,000 gallons! (FB,L,D)
Day 7 Strasbourg, France. (Fri.)
Situated on the border of France and Germany, Strasbourg is influenced by the culture of both countries and is the capital of the Alsace region. It is the seat of the Council of Europe and the European Parliament. Noteworthy sights are the GOTHIC CATHEDRAL, the lovely LA PETITE FRANCE district, Place Kleber and Place Gutenberg with the statue of the inventor of the printing press. An optional excursion to the Alsace wine region is available today. (FB,L,D)
Day 8 Breisach, Germany. Excursion to the Black Forest. (Sat.)
Located at the foot of Kaiserstuhl Mountain on the French-German border, Breisach is a charming, little medieval town. Once surrounded by city walls, the gates to the city still stand today. Breisach is the gateway to Germany’s Black Forest region, an area of unrivalled natural beauty with its forests of thick pine trees. Surely the most well-known products from this region are Black Forest ham and Black Forest cherry cake. (FB,L,D)
Day 9 Basel, Switzerland. (Disembarkation) (Sun.)
Homebound flights should not leave Zurich Airport before 10 a.m. (FB) |
