The most beautiful destinations along the Rhine

A Rhine river cruise promises an unforgettable journey from the North Sea into the heart of Europe. Sweeping landscapes captivate with majestic mountains and cliffs while villages delight with charming histories and lush vineyards. Unwind as you make your way along the enchanting Rhine, savoring each memory to relive later.


Amsterdam, Netherlands

Discover the beauty of Holland with AMADEUS and enjoy the charm of Amsterdam, the capital city. Best known for tulips, Amsterdam is home to countless tulip stalls throughout the city, outnumbered only by colorful bicycles. Seven hundred years old, this city from the Golden Age is one of Europe’s most iconic destinations.


Cologne, Germany

Experience Cologne, the fourth largest city in Germany and more than 2,000 years old. Filled with numerous  museums and vibrant street art, Cologne is also home to the Cologne Cathedral, the most visited landmark in Germany and the second tallest church building in Europe


Koblenz, Germany

Koblenz lies at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers at the world-famous Deutsches Eck. Four mountain ranges, vineyards, and forests form a unique backdrop for the city and its 2,000 years of history. Take the cable car to the majestic Ehrenbreitstein Fortress or visit the city's landmark, the Schängelbrunnen fountain at the town hall square.

Middle Rhine Valley & Loreley Rock

A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Middle Rhine Valley runs between the cities of Bingen and Bonn in Germany. One of the most captivating regions in the world, the landscape is ideally experienced from the river. Narrow banks, steep vineyards, and high cliffs are home to vineyards, castles, and the famous Loreley Rock.


Rüdesheim, Germany

The tranquil town of Rüdesheim is located at the southern gateway of the Middle Rhine Valley. Rüdesheim is not only home to Siegfried's Mechanical Music Cabinet, a collection of self-playing instruments, but also one of the biggest tourist attractions in Germany, the world-famous Drosselgasse. More than three million people visit the three-meter-wide, 144-meter-long cobbled street every year. Here, you will find beautiful old half-timbered buildings, souvenir stores and quaint wine taverns inviting you to linger one moment longer.


Strasbourg, France

Truly a photographer’s dream, Strasbourg enchants with its romantic canals and striking architecture, particularly the city’s intricate soaring cathedral. Perhaps the most beautiful quarter of Strasbourg, the city sits in the heart of the Alsatian Rhine region known as “La Petite France”. With its mixed French and Germanic roots, you’ll find a local culture unlike other parts of France.


Basel, Switzerland

With more museums than any other Swiss city, Basel is the artist’s dream. The Old Town, filled with vintage boutiques and art, stands in contrast to the modern lifestyle and urban scenes found in this city, deemed the capital of the region.

Why River Cruising on the Rhine is so popular

Dreamy Vistas Steeped in Lore.

A source of inspiration and vast geographic beauty, the Rhine is the tenth longest river in Europe with a catchment area that spans nine countries including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Important tributaries include the Aare, the Neckar, the Main, the Moselle, and the Meuse. The region has long captured the imagination of writers, musicians, and poets, including German poet Henrich Heine, whose world-famous poem “On the Banks of the Lorelei” was inspired by the maiden statue set far above the Rhine.
