Sitting on both sides of the Main River, enjoy a tour of ‘Mainhattan,’ famous for its American skyline. Visit the Main embankment, a hub of culture with nine museums covering a vast range of genres, or wander the Roman Archaeological Garden.
A gem in the cultural crown of southwest Germany, Karlsruhe is home to a magnificent palace that forms the centre of the city’s distinctive circular street layout. Modernity sits beside tradition with the renowned Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
Strasbourg is the largest port on the Upper Rhine on the border of France and Germany. Its location promises a fascinating history, and the Old Town is beautifully preserved, surrounded by water, and criss-crossed by picturesque canals.
The gateway to the Black Forest, Breisach is located across the river from French Alsace and is also famous for its wine and home to the largest cellars in Europe. Explore the cultural delights of this charming city with its striking 12th-century cathedral.
At the meeting place of Switzerland, Germany and France, Basel reflects all their cultures and traditions. There is a charming Old Town and market square showcasing a plethora of different architectural styles. Pick from more than forty museums.
Enjoy your final breakfast on board the ship and a last lingering look at the pretty cobblestone streets of Basel before disembarking and starting your journey back to the UK.
