A Rhine Romance

With so many alluring waterways in the world, it can be difficult to choose where to make your splash. Do you choose by country? By sights? By unique experiences? When you choose the romantic Rhine River – with its 1287 kilometres of winding whimsical wonder – you choose all of the above.

With its mysterious craggy cliffs, sacred ancient cathedrals, and storied medieval castles perched above quaint cobblestone villages, it’s easy to fall in love with the pillars of the Rhine River. Meandering through five captivating countries the Rhine weaves together a tapestry of history and culture (not to mention countless UNESCO World Heritage Sites), making it as fitting for first-time river cruisers as it is for seasoned off-the-beaten-path travellers. As you visit ancient stone churches, taste decadent Swiss chocolate, and indulge in rich French cheeses, an abundance of local delicacies and delights await.

Choice of daily sightseeing

WHY TRAVELLERS PINE FOR THE RHINE

The Rhine flows from the white-dusted peaks of the Swiss Alps to the rainbow-hued blossoms of the Netherlands, offering sweeping views, an array of cultures, plus a rich history that dates back to the Holy Roman Empire – there’s certainly lots to love when you dreamily float with Avalon along the Rhine.
