Illustration of The Majestic Rhine Cruise: Basel to Amsterdam

Vacations By Rail's Majestic Rhine Cruise combines rail travel with an all-inclusive river journey from Basel to Amsterdam. The package takes you through the Netherlands, Germany, and France, blending rail segments with guided exploration aboard a river cruise ship. Throughout the voyage, a Tour Manager accompanies the group, providing insights at each historic city visited along the Rhine. The cruise format means you unpack once while the ship becomes your floating hotel, visiting riverside towns and cultural highlights each day. This itinerary suits travellers who prefer minimal walking and the comfort of a guided experience, along with those interested in European history and the scenery of the Rhine valley. The all-inclusive structure simplifies planning, with most meals and activities organised by Vacations By Rail.
