15 Day River Cruise Basel to Paris
Immerse yourself in German and French culture on this fabulous Europe river cruise vacation along the Seine and Rhine Rivers. Revel in the romance and splendor of this magical journey on two of Europe’s most legendary waterways.
Your adventure begins in Breisach, Germany, the gateway to Germany’s Black Forest—an area of unrivaled natural beauty. Strasbourg, France, located on the French-German border, perfectly blends the cultures of both countries. Sail through the dramatic Rhine Gorge, the most beautiful view of the Rhine River where ancient castles stand on cliffs 400 feet above the water. Cologne, Germany—a 2,000-year-old city best known for its gothic architecture and famous twin-spired cathedral, comes alive on a guided walk. Continue to Amsterdam, the modern capital of the Netherlands. Transfer to Paris by high-speed train to start your Seine River cruise. Enjoy wine, cheese, beautiful scenery along the Seine River, and stops in charming and historical parts of France, but your adventure would not be complete without some time in Paris—one of the world’s most romantic and vibrant cities! Discover the true heart of Paris on a guided walk through the sites of Paris’ rich history or take a tour showing you the iconic sites of this enchanting city.
A Classic Journey, Season by Season.
From the lively energy of summer to the golden calm of fall and the fresh renewal of spring, the Rhine and the Seine reveal a different kind of romance in every season. Depending on when you sail, you can enjoy Paris in Bloom on Île Saint Louis, spring strawberry picking and jam making, summer brewery tours and tastings, the mesmerizing light show at Rouen Cathedral, fall visits to historic vineyards or a cozy apple harvest with fresh cider tastings. Changing light, riverside scenery, and a more relaxed pace bring fresh perspectives to the City of Light, Normandy’s historic shores and the Rhine’s legendary scenery. It’s the same iconic route – beautifully shaped by the season in which you experience it.
