Stroll through the narrow streets of Old Town with your guide, passing by tiny squares and little churches as you make your way to Cologne Cathedral, the city’s most famous landmark and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. It took 632 years for Germany’s largest cathedral to be completed, and it is one of the most important Gothic churches in Europe. A visit inside features the Shrine of the Three Magi and the beautiful stained glass windows that survived WWII.

Koblenz, situated on the beautiful corner at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle. Our guided walking tour will highlight the appeal of Koblenz - its romantic narrow streets and historical squares, the picturesque alleyways and fountains in the old quarter and the 12th-century churches of St. Florin and Our Lady.

You will leave Koblenz behind you and sail along one of the most beautiful sections of the Rhine River Valley, the scenic 40 miles of the upper Middle Rhine Valley. Historical monuments have been preserved in a quantity and density that can be found in almost no other European culture region. With its vine filled slopes leading to the valley, its 40 castles strung like pearls on the ledges, and the famous Lorelei Rock, the gorge is the perfect example of the Romantic Rhine. Arrive in Rüdesheim this afternoon, where you will have a visit to picture-perfect Castle Vollards, surrounded by vineyards producing the famous Rheingau Rieslings, where you will have unique wine tasting at the castle.

Your guided tour through Speyer reveals a Medieval town with a grand heritage and a compact historical centre. While on tour, you will visit the largest Romanesque cathedral in Europe, yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a basilica that includes four towers and two domes.

See Strasbourg in the way it has been seen through the centuries — on a canal cruise. In addition to viewing the town’s covered bridges, Medieval watchtowers and modern building that houses the European Parliament, you will see Petite France, a picturesque district that seems as if it has been lifted from the pages of a fairytale.

Enjoy a visit to the medieval town of Colmar and the picturesque village of Riquewihr. Sail along the Alsatian wine route, which hugs the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. Charming villages and lush vineyards, producing fine white wine, line this winding scenic route. Cross the Rhine to medieval Breisach, the gateway to the Black Forest.

Disembark the ship and transfer to airport for your British Airways or another leading airline flight home. Arrival at London Heathrow or Gatwick where a representative will meet you and our transport will transfer you to your own front door.
