Luxury Europe River Cruises
Romantic Rhine
& Moselle
15 Day Cruise
Zurich > Amsterdam
Romance is alive and well on the Rhine
Anyone who doesn’t believe in the power of romance
has never travelled down this stretch of the Rhine, or
its idyllic tributary, the Moselle.
In fact, on this itinerary, there’s probably a fairy tale
moment lying in wait for you just beyond the next river
bend. The castles that grace this region sometimes seem
as if they were lifted straight from the silver screen,
and that’s hardly surprising as it’s a region that’s long
been favoured by Hollywood directors. From Lorelei,
the Rhine river siren said to lure sailors to their demise,
to the legendary Black Forest, which still resonates
with imaginative children’s tales, there are stories and
romances galore to discover, and delight in. You may even
compose a few new ones of your own.
