Basel to Lorelei: A Voyage Through Rhine Myth & Beauty
About This Cruise
The river cruise starts in Basel, Switzerland’s cultural hub, known for its Gothic cathedral, world-class museums, and charming old town. As the ship sets off, the journey down the Rhine begins.
In Strasbourg, French charm and German heritage blend seamlessly. The stunning cathedral, the romantic “La Petite France,” and the European institutions make this city a true highlight of the cruise.
Next is Frankfurt am Main, where Germany’s financial center meets cultural richness. The skyline contrasts with the medieval Römer square and the vibrant Museum Embankment, offering both modernity and history.
In Speyer, travelers step back in time. The Imperial Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dominates the city, while the Technik Museum and lively promenade add variety to the visit.
The following stop is Breisach, with its hilltop cathedral, wine traditions, and views over the Kaiserstuhl vineyards.
Finally, the ship returns to Basel, where art, history, and international flair provide the perfect ending to a diverse and memorable cruise.
