Cruising the Rhine river takes you through a journey of time and history across six European countries. The Rhine Gorge, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its romantic beauty and fairytale landscapes dotted with medieval castles, charming villages, and rolling vineyard-covered hills. This itinerary typically includes visits to Cologne with its magnificent Gothic Cathedral, the university town of Heidelberg, and the picturesque village of Rüdesheim, known for its Drosselgasse lane of shops and taverns. Solo travellers appreciate the blend of organised excursions and free time to explore the easily walkable towns along the route.
