Rhine
The Rhine river is one of the major European rivers that begins in Switzerland and flows through France, Germany, and the Netherlands before it empties into the North Sea.
A Rhine river cruise is one of the most popular types of river cruises, and can last anywhere from a day to more than a week. Some of the most popular cities on the Rhine river include the majestic city of Basel, Switzerland; the charming French village of Strasbourg; cultural Cologne in Germany; and, of course, the dynamic and buzzy Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Cruise companies that offer Rhine tours include Viking River Cruises, Avalon Waterways, and Arena Travel.
