El Rhine is one of the main rivers in Europe, the most used waterway in the entire Union. It has a length of 1.233 kilometers, of which 883 are navigable, between Basel and its delta in the North Sea. Without a doubt navigating it is making a romantic and diverse tour with landscapes and cities as different from each other as bustling Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Cologne, Koblenz, Lorelei or Rudesheim.
The name Rin is of Celtic origin and means to flow and along the Danube it constituted most of the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. When you sail on it you will cross the borders of current France, Holland, Switzerland and Germany. This summer CroisiEurope has turned its Rhine cruises into one of the most outstanding. We talk about a 8-day all-inclusive cruise on board and with excursions, port taxes and Wi-Fi on board included with an amount from 995 euros per person.
I emphasize the per person, because CroisiEuropa has launched a single passenger campaign, They have a 5% discount on excursions and also will not have to pay a supplement for traveling alone. The two ships that move on the Rhine on the CroisiEurope side are MS La Bohème, which also sails down the Danube, and the MS Monet, It does so by the Rhine, its tributaries and the Danube.
Some of the excursions that you cannot miss on your trip along the Rhine are the visits to the cities where it stops, the Alkmaar, the Keukenhof flower park, Giethoorn, Heidelberg, Volendam, or others that will be proposed to you, among the that I recommend one tour of the Rudesheim vineyard in a small train, during which they will explain to you that wines have been grown in this area since Roman times ... and yes, there is a tasting of them.
So far I have told you about this CroisiEurope proposal, but if you are going to travel as a family, you may be interested in this cruise thematic from Disney, inspired by Beauty and the Beast.
