Journey the timeless waterways of France, the Netherlands, Germany & Switzerland
Delve into the heart and beauty of Central Europe as you cruise the Seine and Rhine rivers. From Impressionist art and D-Day landings to fairy-tale castles and esteemed vineyards, this unique river journey uncovers compelling history, authentic flavours and cultural immersions at every turn.
From the enchanting French capital, Paris, this luxury river cruise on your Emerald Star-Ship takes you along the beautiful Seine and heartlands of Normandy, uncovering a rich tapestry of culture, history and rustic charm – quintessential Northern France. Explore Monet’s famed gardens at Giverny, stroll Rouen’s medieval streets and journey to Honfleur's picturesque harbour, where few ships venture. Join an insightful D-Day tour of Allied landings and discover Normandy’s treasures on guided e-bike rides and hikes. Delight in authentic flavours from tastings at a traditional cider farm to succulent local oysters.
You’ll cruise back into Paris, the eternal ‘City of Light,’ before travelling by train to Amsterdam, where you’ll embark on your next Emerald Star-Ship and your eight-day cruise along the timeless Rhine – beginning with Dutch pastoral landscapes dotted with windmills. On guided tours, explore centuries-old cities, Cologne, Strasbourg, and Koblenz, which dates back to Roman times and cruise the World Heritage-listed Rhine Gorge, peppered with romantic castles and medieval villages. Savour regional flavours, such as French cheeses, Black Forest delicacies and renowned Riesling wines and enjoy traditional cultural experiences on board that ignite the senses. After exploring Central Europe, the magical Rhine brings you to Switzerland and charming Basel – concluding your wonderful journey.
