Winners 2022 Best River Cruise Line
Glide past the pretty towns along the Rhine River on our popular Rhine Cruise to Switzerland and enjoy breathtaking Alpine scenery on a trip on board the iconic Glacier Express railway on our unforgettable extension. Our journey takes us through the Rhine valley, visiting Koblenz where we have time to explore the old town at the confluence of both the Rhine and Moselle rivers, as well as the Rhine Gorge where the sheer valley walls tower over 400m above our heads.   We'll also visit Rüdesheim and Speyer with its stunning Romanesque Basilica, plus the French city of Strasbourg and the atmospheric Black Forest.   But that's not all. We also have some time in Switzerland, first in Lucerne, and then into the breathtaking Alpine scenery of Bernese Oberland by train.   On our extension we explore Switzerland by train. From the winding cobbled streets of Chur, we'll enjoy an unforgettable adventure on the iconic Glacier Express to Zermatt at the foot of the mighty Matterhorn. From snow-dusted mountain ranges and striking glaciers to wonderful, lush green landscapes, discover the alpine wonderland of Switzerland on this incredible tour extension.
