Glide past the pretty towns along the Rhine River in the company of British royal experts on a majestic cruise along the Rhine. Hear stories about life in Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle and dine like a King. Take a relaxing journey through Switzerland, Germany and France on a scenic river cruise along the Rhine. We'll stop at historic towns and cities, like Strasbourg, Speyer, Koblenz and Cologne, take a drive through the fairy-tale landscape of the Black Forest and ascend into the snow-capped peaks of Bernese Oberland on an incredible mountain railway. And while sailing, you can enjoy views of the spectacular Rhine Gorge where the valley walls tower over 400m above our heads. To add to this already majestic journey, we'll be accompanied by Grant Harrold - former Royal Butler to many of our serving Royals - and Colin Alderson, former Royal Chef and Pastry Chef of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Together, we'll learn more about the upper echelon. From the proper rules of etiquette to life in these phenomenal royal residences, we’ll uncover a few Royal secrets, like the late Queen's favourite dishes. This Swiss river cruise is ideal for any fans of the British Monarchy looking for a relaxing way to see stunning alpine views and visit historic European towns while indulging their curiosity.
