Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Amsterdam to Basel aboard SS Antoinette.
Day 1: Amsterdam (Embark)
Embark the ship.
Day 2: Cologne
History buffs will enjoy an expertly led tour through Cologne’s Old Town, where three medieval gates remain standing, as does the old city hall with its Renaissance façade. Wander through the city’s historical center and take in its charming atmosphere, narrow alleyways flanked by old houses and countless breweries. No matter how you choose to explore Old Town, you’ll also have ample free time to explore on your own.
A special Captain’s Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.
Day 3: Koblenz, Boppard
Get to know Koblenz, a historic town with a colorful past and eclectic architecture, and enjoy a visit to the stunningly medieval Marksburg Castle.
Choice of Koblenz walking tour or Marksburg Castle visit or “Let's Go†bike the castles or Boppard village stroll or "Let's Go" Rhine hiking
Day 4: Boppard, Rüdesheim
Experience Germany’s fabled Rhine River in beautiful Rüdesheim. Enjoy a private tasting of estate-grown Rieslings at Castle Vollrads or explore Rüdesheim and the impressive Niederwald monument.
Choice of Castle Vollrads wine tasting or Rüdesheim wine village and panoramas of Niederwald Monument
Day 5: Germersheim (Speyer)
Speyer—“spire†in English—is well named, since the four red towers of the Romanesque cathedral dominate the Old Town.
Choice of Baroque Palace of Mannheim or Private Doktorenhof vinegar estate visit and tasting
Day 6: Kehl (Strasbourg)
See Strasbourg on foot with an insightful local expert, where this historic town with its cobbled lanes, half-timbered homes, giant stork nests and impossible-to-resist pastry shops will win your heart. Kehl, directly across the river from Strasbourg, will be your ship’s base while you explore the Alsatian capital. If you’re feeling adventurous, take advantage of Uniworld’s bicycles or Nordic walking sticks and explore the banks of the river.
You have the entire afternoon to see more of Strasbourg on your own.
Day 7: Breisach (Freiburg)
Breisach is your gateway to the Alsatian wine road and your launching point for an excursion along the celebrated Route des Vins, which hugs the foothills of the Vosges mountain range, or a city tour of Freiburg.
Choice of Alsatian villages or Freiburg city tour
A special Captain’s Farewell Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.
Day 8: Basel (Disembark)
Disembark the ship. |
