7 nights onboard Spirit of the Rhine

Cultural Cities of the Rhine

Join Spirit of the Rhine in Mainz for an all-inclusive 7-night river cruise in 2025 stopping to visit the historic towns and cities of the Upper Rhine. Spend your first day cruising the Rhine river, with plenty of time to settle in to your cabin and enjoy the facilities on board before arriving in Breisach. Take our complimentary transfer service into the medieval town of Breisach, overlooked by 12th-century St Stephan’s Cathedral, and spend the day exploring independently. Sail overnight to Basel and, in the morning, join an included coach and walking tour through the city’s cobbled old town. After an overnight sailing, awaken in Kehl and set off early on an included excursion to medieval Strasbourg. Enjoy an included cruise along the city’s scenic canals lined with traditional timber-framed buildings. Continue your river cruise to Mannheim, where an included excursion visits Heidelberg for a walking tour through the winding alleys of the old town and Jewish Quarter and up to the castle. Enjoy a tour around the inner courtyard and the castle garden before exploring the residence ruins and the famous giant barrel. Sail through the following morning to Mainz, where you will have an afternoon to explore its attractions.
