Fairytale Castles of the Rhine & Moselle River Cruise Mar 13, 2027

The Rhine & Moselle Fairytales river cruise is a spectacular 11-night journey through the heart of Europe’s most storybook landscapes. Sailing from Amsterdam to Basel on the elegant AmaCerto, this itinerary perfectly blends the grand history of the Rhine with the serene, winding beauty of the amazing Moselle.

Itinerary Highlights

This cruise explores the legendary waterways of the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Switzerland:

• Amsterdam’s Icons: Begin with a scenic canal cruise through the historic heart of Amsterdam, passing the city’s famous narrow houses and 17th-century architecture.
• The Enchanting Moselle: Experience the undisputed highlight of the trip as you sail the amazing Moselle. This river is known for its dramatic "S" curves, steep vineyard-clad hills, and incredibly preserved medieval towns like Cochem (home to the hilltop Reichsburg Castle) and Bernkastel, where you can enjoy local Riesling in a charming half-timbered setting.
• Roman History in Trier: Step back in time in Germany’s oldest city, exploring UNESCO sites like the Porta Nigra and the Roman Baths.
• The Rhine Gorge: Sail through the most scenic stretch of the Rhine, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its high density of castles and the legendary Lorelei Rock.
• Cultural Capitals: Visit Cologne to see its massive Gothic Cathedral, wander the "Romantic Heidelberg" castle ruins, and enjoy the blend of French and German culture in Strasbourg, the "Gem of the Alsace."
• Black Forest Gateway: Stop in Breisach, the gateway to the Black Forest and the picturesque wine village of Riquewihr.
