Rhine Gorge & Cologne Discovery river cruise - MS Emily Bronte

Winners 2022 Best for Solo
Winners 2022 Best River Cruise Line
Sail through the Rhine Gorge, one of the most scenic stretches of river in the world, and visit two historic yet distinctly different German ports: Rüdesheim and Cologne. Rüdesheim captivates all its visitors with its quaint charm and narrow cobblestone streets lined with timber-framed buildings. After our guided tour, you'll have the opportunity to sample exquisite local wines in atmospheric taverns during time at leisure - we recommend the Riesling, the region's speciality. In Cologne, it's hard to miss the Gothic cathedral as it stretches skywards - a testament to centuries of architectural grandeur and spiritual significance. Beyond this iconic landmark, a rich history is waiting to be discovered in the old town and bustling markets. But we're not exaggerating when we say the highlight of this river cruise is our voyage through the jaw-dropping Rhine Gorge, boasting dramatic natural scenery punctuated by the silent ruins of medieval castles and fortresses. This holiday is ideal for those looking to sample a Riviera river cruise and travellers who want a short break exploring some of the most spectacular sights of Germany and the Rhine.

MS Emily Brontë

It is extremely difficult to convey just how extraordinary this outstanding ship really is and exactly what distinguishes it from similar vessels. It would be very easy to just say ‘luxurious’ but it’s much more than that; we have deliberately avoided the current trend for a minimalist style where you could be anywhere in the world, creating instead a unique yet exquisite blend of understated taste, style and elegance at the highest level. Immediately striking is just how exceptionally spacious this new vessel is as you enter a gleaming, richly coloured marble-floored lobby flooded with natural light from a stunning atrium above. Moving inside, exceptional creativity from Europe’s finest design studio has produced a superbly balanced masterpiece of onboard style, utilising sustainable rich hardwoods, gleaming brass and polished copper, sparkling glass and intricate wrought iron. The ship is beautifully illuminated throughout – including the exterior and imaginatively furnished with harmonious colour schemes, all designed to create the serene atmosphere reflective of the golden age of cruising which time after time you tell us you adore.
