So many delights lie along the banks of The Rhine and Moselle rivers – let us share them with you on this newest of Tauck's Rhine River cruises aboard the MS Swiss Emerald or MS Swiss Sapphire. From Switzerland to the Netherlands, through Germany, France and Luxembourg, this fascinating cruise travels through engaging cities, charming towns and rural landscapes. See the marriage of French and German culture in Strasbourg; mingle with the jet setters in the glamorous spa town of Baden-Baden; enjoy a special lunch at a grand hotel overlooking Bonn and the Rhine; and discover the secrets of the ancient university town of Heidelberg, 2,000-year-old Boppard, and medieval masterpieces such as Bernkastel, Trier and Cochem. Pay tribute to those who gave their lives in the Battle of the Bulge at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial, and get a true taste of Europe with regional culinary specialties, locally grown wines and traditional songs and dances.
