Five-day Rhine river cruise in Germany with rail and ship

Illustration of Highlights of the Rhine

Great Rail Journeys' Highlights of the Rhine is a 5-day escorted river cruise through Germany, combining rail travel with four nights aboard a luxury ship on the Rhine. This short break is positioned as an introduction to river cruising, making it an approachable entry point for travellers new to the experience. The itinerary loops through the Rhine region, with accommodation and dining aboard the five-star vessel. The package suits couples and first-time cruisers who want a polished, all-inclusive experience without the commitment of a longer voyage. Great Rail Journeys handles both the rail leg and the ship-based portion, so arrivals, transfers, and onboard logistics are coordinated as part of the escorted service.
