Wine on the Rhine!

 
Enchanting Rhine Wine Cruise (October 31, 2026-November 7, 2026)

Pass through some of Europe’s most enchanting and historic wine regions as you sail through four countries along the Rhine River. Zurich’s medieval houses, narrow lanes and town halls from the Renaissance period offer a striking backdrop to its trendy and ultra-modern metropolis. Take a front row seat on an enchanting wine- themed Rhine River journey. Discover the differences between France’s distinctive Alsatian wines, praised for their fragrant aromas, and Rüdesheim’s finest Rieslings. Sip local varietals while cruising through Germany’s designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, the castle-laden Rhine Gorge. Partake in wine-themed excursions and indulge in a specially curated food and wine pairing dinner on board – all with the guidance of a dedicated wine expert.

What's Included:

 
 
  • Accommodations: Riverview staterooms are standard, and some ships also offer French balcony rooms.
  • Dining: All meals are included, with options for buffet and a la carte dining, including a specialty restaurant called The Chef's Table. Complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks are offered with lunch and dinner.
  • Excursions: A range of included excursions are offered at each port, with options like walking tours, bike rides, hikes, and food or wine tastings. These are tailored to different activity levels. Europe: Every excursion is included with your choice from up to six guided tours each day, all operated in small groups. In every city or town you visit, there is typically a sightseeing tour offered at three unique activity levels for gentle walkers, regular walkers and active walkers, along with free time to explore the city according to your own interests. The sightseeing tours can take place on foot, via motor coach, or a combination of the two. Each tour is led by a qualified, licensed English-speaking local guide or your Cruise Manager. On select excursions, we also have a "Late Starter" option for guests who wish to sleep in but do not want to miss key tour highlights. For those guests interested in exploring Europe from an exciting new perspective, we offer guided bicycle and hiking tours in select cities. In addition to our many choices of excursions we also offer our special interest tours such as wine tastings and culinary demonstrations, offering small groups the chance to be even more immersed into the local life. In the event of water level problems on certain stretches of the river, it may be necessary to operate part of the itinerary by motor coach or to alter the daily program as determined by the ship's Captain.
  • Drinks & Entertainment: Daily Sip & Sail cocktail hour is included, with a menu of cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer, spirits, and soft drinks. Entertainment, such as jazz performances, is also included.
