With Christmas knocking at the door, what better way to get into the festive spirit

than by cruising the legendary Rhine River. In Cologne, Germany embark your

exclusively chartered 110-passenger river ship for a 7 night cruise to Basel,

Switzerland visiting romantic towns and villages of Germany and the Alsace Region

of France permeated with Christmas aromas and magical auras. Stroll the Christmas

markets, while enjoying a glass of Glühwein, and inhale the seasonal scents of

punch, spicy gingerbread, roasted almonds and much more. Then travel from Basel

to Lucerne situated on Lake Lucerne and at the foot of Mt. Pilatus for one night.
