Switzerland River Cruises

When you book an idyllic cruise along the majestic Rhine River you will be rewarded with endless views of stunning scenery overlooked by elaborate cathedral spires. On cruises in Switzerland you will voyage along the River Rhine, which is one of the most significant and longest rivers in Europe and stretches from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea in the Netherlands.

As you cruise along the Rhine in Switzerland you will witness how unbelievably beautiful the surrounding landscape is. From Basel's impressive 16th century City Hall which is adorned with splendid murals to many of its UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the bustling Old Town and Basel Münster, there is a wealth of attractions to admire.

On cruises in Switzerland your well-appointed ship also steers you through Amsterdam, France and Germany, with your journey concluding in Belgium. Glide gracefully along Amsterdam's meandering and brightly coloured waterways that run through thriving farmland to Cologne in Germany. Marvel at the exquisite Gothic architecture of the city's imposing cathedral or admire the pretty pastel painted buildings of the Old Town as your cruise in Switzerland continues.
