Magical Rhine & Moselle Rivers - Reverse

Discover a dramatic waterway where winding valleys give way to riverside cities and Alpine hamlets. Venture along the Rhine and Moselle and spend time in beloved European cities, getting a taste of the local culture at each stop along the way.

Arrive in Amsterdam,* the 800-year-old capital of the Netherlands, a city of narrow canals and stone bridges. As arrival times will vary, there is no scheduled sightseeing today. For those arriving earlier in the day, you may relax in the ship’s lounge and enjoy refreshments until your cabin is ready in the late afternoon. Or, if you’re ready to explore, consider visiting one of Amsterdam’s famed museums, such as the Van Gogh Museum** or the Anne Frank House.** This evening, meet in the lounge for a cocktail reception followed by a welcome aboard dinner.

Begin your day with a canal cruise led by a local expert, experiencing Amsterdam from a unique perspective as you glide along the city’s centuries-old canal system. Sail by charming cafés and famous 16th-century row houses stacked side-by-side. Once your tour concludes in the late morning, spend some time exploring the city however you wish. Perhaps you’ll stroll through the charming Jordaan district, or soak in the atmosphere at a canal-side café. This afternoon, relax as your ship departs the Netherlands and makes its way to Germany.

As the sun rises, glide along the Rhine River and pass through picturesque German landscapes dotted with medieval towns. Your journey brings you to Cologne, where you will join a guide for a walking tour of the city’s Gothic Old Town. Wander along cobblestone streets and admire the Cologne Cathedral, the Roman Dionysus mosaic, and the Romanesque church of St. Martin. Top off this walking tour with a tasting of Cologne’s famous Kölsch beer, before enjoying some free time this afternoon in this magnificent city.
