Castles & Countryside: Rhine & Moselle River Cruise
Overview
Cruise with us through the heart of Europe as we journey to explore the castles and countryside of four amazing countries! From the storybook streets of Luxembourg to the timeless beauty of Switzerland, our ship, the Ama Prima, will take us to see the highlights of this region. Explore a night in Luxembourg City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before sailing through the scenic Moselle and Rhine valleys, where medieval villages, dramatic castles, rolling vineyards, and charming riverside towns await. This AmaWaterways cruise along the Rhine and Moselle rivers takes us through France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland on a 7-night cruise, on what is said to be the most beautiful scenery of all river cruises.
Soar above the vineyards of Rüdesheim by gondola and enjoy a wine tasting. Discover romantic Heidelberg, magnificent Schwetzingen Palace, and the enchanting Alsatian village of Riquewihr. In Strasbourg, explore the charming streets of La Petite France, where French and German influences come together. Step back in time in Trier, Germany’s oldest city, wander the fairytale streets of Cochem, and cruise through the spectacular UNESCO-designated Rhine Gorge.
Along the way, choose your own adventure with opportunities to walk through vineyards and countryside, bike along scenic rivers, explore historic towns, or simply relax and take in the scenery from the ship. From ancient Roman ruins and medieval castles to picturesque villages, world-class wine, and breathtaking landscapes, every day offers something new to discover.
Add to all of this an amazing group of travelers, and you have a journey filled with unforgettable experiences, new friendships, and memories to last a lifetime.
