Rhine Cruise to Strasbourg

5 days from just £449
Join us on this cruise exclusively for Just Friends travellers, taking in some of Europe’s most spectacular scenery along the banks of the mighty Rhine, sailing from the pretty village of Rüdesheim to delightful Strasbourg.

At almost every bend in the river you find steep hillsides, covered in vines, dotted with ancient castles, each with its own story to tell, and pretty villages full of half-timbered houses alongside the banks of a river alive with the frenetic activity of ferries, pleasure boats and cargo vessels carrying their goods along this major waterway.

Stopping along the way you’ll visit the baroque city Mainz and Europe’s wealthiest city and financial powerhouse, Frankfurt, for a visit to the beautiful Palmengarten. See the beautiful gardens of the majestic palace of Heidelberg and sample the wines of the Alsace region, famous for its dry white Riesling.
