The Rhine is Germany’s longest river, which starts high up in the Alps in Switzerland and flows though France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands into the North Sea. Luxury Rhine river cruises start from a number of historical cities along its banks, including Basel, Trier, Cologne, Amsterdam, and Düsseldorf.
Rhine river cruises will call at historic cities such as Bamberg, Würzburg, and Koblenz, as well as smaller villages and towns such as Mainz and Rüdesheim – home to an impressive castle. One of the highlights of many Rhine river cruises is sailing along the Rhine gorge to view the historic and famous Rhine castles, which tower majestically over the vineyards along the backs of the Rhine. Another popular feature of many Rhine river cruises is seeing the famous Lorelei Rock, which rises 130 metres high. Legend has it that a siren named Lorelei once sat atop the rock and lured sailors to their doom by singing sweet songs and lullabies.
