Rhine, Strasbourg and Heidelberg Cruise Itinerary

Discover the fascinating towns and cities along the legendary Rhine River on a 7-night cruise that highlights the heritage, history, and architecture of this beautiful Rhineland region. Savour the tastes and flavours of this influential wine-making region, plus enjoy two trips through the legendary Rhine Gorge. A luxury river cruiser is the perfect travel companion with elegant suites and staterooms, gourmet cuisine, and spacious communal areas, including a glorious Sun Deck for the best riverside views.

Day 1

Cologne

Step on board your five-star cruise ship moored on the banks of the Rhine in historic Cologne, one of Germany’s oldest cities.

Day 2

Koblenz & Boppard

Arrive in Koblenz, a romantic city dating to Roman times, with churches and historic buildings surrounded by forest-covered hillsides. Picturesque Boppard is next on the itinerary before an evening performance of Rhenish folk music on board ship.

Day 3

Rhine Gorge & Mainz

Today, sail the legendary Rhine Gorge, a cruise highlight with magical ruined castles and breathtaking scenery, before arriving in Mainz. Mainz is Germany’s wine capital, and a guided tour will reveal all, including the magnificent Romanesque cathedral.

Day 4

Heidelberg

Heidelberg is the most picture postcard German city, untouched by the ravages of World War II. Explore this fascinating and beautiful location on an informative tour including the romantic Old Town, 14th-century university, palaces, and river bridges.

Day 5

Strasbourg & Colmar

Strasbourg, the capital of the Alsace region, is a complete delight, with quaint lanes lined with half-timbered houses and architecture reflecting its mixed German and French history. There is also a tour of the medieval town of Colmar.

Day 6

Rüdesheim

After a morning cruise, take a guided walking tour of Rüdesheim, a beautiful Rhine town surrounded by woodland and vine-covered slopes. In the evening, it’s time for a cruise highlight, the Captain’s Dinner.

Day 7

Cologne

Early risers have another opportunity to view the remarkable Rhine Gorge before your ship berths in Cologne. A fascinating tour includes the Old Town and the twin-spired cathedral, with the chance to sample some of the city’s famous beer.

Rhine, Strasbourg and Heidelberg River Cruise Review

“Having cruised the Rhine and Danube several times, this was a bit of a voyage of discovery for us as the itinerary includes destinations you just don’t visit on other cruises. Strasbourg, in particular was fascinating and Heidelberg so very picturesque plus you pass through the Rhine Gorge not once but twice!! It’s just a little bit different but what isn’t different is the fabulous Riviera Travel cruise ship and the amazing service on board, just sheer luxury.”

Rhine, Strasbourg and Heidelberg River Cruise FAQ

Is there access to all areas of the ship 24/7?

Some river cruises between Mainz and Nuremberg encounter low bridges and locks, so parts of the Sun Deck have to be closed for safety reasons. However, this cruise is unaffected by these restrictions so that guests can enjoy uninterrupted access to the Sun Deck at all times on their journey.

Is there Wi-Fi available on board the ship?

There is complementary Wi-Fi available on board all our European river cruise ships. Sometimes, connectivity can be affected by terrain or even weather events, but on the majority of our European voyages, coverage is pretty consistent and uninterrupted, meaning you can stay in touch with your friends back home.

Do I need a visa for this cruise?

UK citizens do not require a visa to enter France or Germany, but you will need a valid passport. Our friendly booking team can signpost you to the correct information if you have concerns about your travel documents. It is the responsibility of the passengers to ensure they comply with all entry and immigration requirements.
