Flanked by world-famous wine valleys and vineyards, rolling hills, fairytale inspiring Castles and spires and a many charming medieval towns and charismatic cities, the romantic River Rhine never fails to impressive and captivate river cruisers.

Highlights of a Rhine River Cruise
Cologne The fourth largest city in Germany is home to The Dom cathedral. The impressive gothic building becomes even more remarkable when the viewer remembers that Cologne was flattened during the latter stages of the Second World War bombing campaign by the allies.
