Project Description
ESCORTED RHINE CASTLES & SWISS ALPS RIVER CRUISE | June 2022
Sail with Tim & Denise Hersh along the legendary Rhine. Contoured by vineyard-clad hills and castles from yesteryear, the historic Rhine will captivate your imagination. Experience the allure of France’s Alsace region in its welcoming capital, Strasbourg, and its priceless gem, Riquewihr. Then there is Breisach, rising above the vineyards of the Rhine, and Freiburg, one of Germany’s sunniest cities and gateway to Black Forest. Fabled towns lost in time present you with the chance to taste local flavors—Rüdesheimer coffee and Kölsch beer—and to touch history up close with guided hikes and bike rides. From Amsterdam’s colorful canals to the majestic Swiss Alps, journey into the heart of the destinations you visit.
