Cruise the Rhine's most stunning places

7 nights from £2,349 per person based on 2 sharing

A week on the Rhine with Riviera combines some of Germany and France's most captivating riverside destinations with ever-changing scenery along one of Europe's most celebrated waterways. From the twin-spired cathedral of Cologne and the dramatic castles of the Rhine Gorge to the charming streets of Strasbourg and the vineyards of Rüdesheim, this journey blends history, local traditions, and relaxed river cruising in equal measure.
  • One of the highlights of this voyage is sailing through the UNESCO-listed Rhine Gorge, where hilltop castles, steep vineyard terraces, and centuries-old villages line the riverbanks. Along the way you'll visit Koblenz, set at the meeting point of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, before continuing to the picturesque town of Boppard, known for its riverside promenade and traditional wine taverns.

  • Further along the river, you'll explore Mainz and Heidelberg, two cities that showcase different sides of Germany's past and present. Mainz is famous for its impressive cathedral and connections to Johannes Gutenberg, while Heidelberg charms visitors with its romantic riverside setting, grand castle ruins and beautifully preserved Old Town filled with cafés, boutiques, and historic squares.

  • Crossing into France, Strasbourg offers a wonderful blend of French and German influences. Wander through the canals and half-timbered buildings of La Petite France, admire the city's magnificent Gothic cathedral, or choose to follow the famous Alsace Wine Route to Colmar, where colourful medieval houses and local wine cellars create one of the region's most memorable experiences.

  • Sailing aboard MS George Eliot, you'll enjoy a comfortable and welcoming base throughout your journey along the Rhine. Your cabin provides a relaxing retreat after each day ashore, while inviting lounges, spacious sun decks, and elegant dining areas offer plenty of opportunities to unwind and watch the scenery unfold. Full-board dining is included throughout your stay, and the complimentary drinks package allows you to enjoy selected beverages from morning until midnight while on board.
