14 nights onboard MS Emily Bronte

The Majestic Rhine, Heidelberg & Switzerland river cruise - MS Emily Bronte

Winners 2022 Best for Solo
Winners 2022 Best River Cruise Line
This cruise has the perfect mix of river views, mountain peaks, urban splendour and a dash of medieval charm. There’s no better way to savour the flavours (and the wine) of the Rhine Valley, than aboard our five-star ship. We’re rolling out the red carpet for these cruising stars: Heidelberg and Lucerne bring class, Boppard and Rüdesheim add a quirky twist, and Strasbourg and Cologne throw in a bit of time-travel magic. As ever the Rhine Gorge steals the show. You’ll be wowed by the Swiss Alps on a mountain rail journey amidst the snow-capped peaks, and as we cruise the epic Rhine Gorge where Mother Nature puts on her most dramatic show. And the views don’t stop there. The sleepy town of Titisee snoozes quietly on the peaceful shores of its shimmering lake whilst the pine-forested landscapes of the Black Forest cast their magic spell during a scenic drive. From Cologne to Koblenz, Strasbourg to Speyer, immerse yourself in cities steeped in wonder, where history really happened; you’ll feel it echoing around every corner. There’s a charm in the old towns of Boppard and Rüdesheim, surrounded by sun-ripened vineyards. Join us on a river adventure that showcases the very best of this historic and scenic region.

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.
