Cruise through the storybook landscapes of the Rhine and Moselle in Germany before continuing by rail into the heart of Switzerland, where Interlaken’s mountain scenery and Zermatt’s elegant alpine charm await.
Overview
Travel through the heart of Europe on this beautifully paced journey combining an AmaWaterways Rhine and Moselle river cruise with a scenic Swiss rail experience.
Beginning in Luxembourg, the cruise follows the gentle curves of the Moselle and Rhine rivers through Germany and France, revealing a succession of medieval towns, vineyard‑covered hills and legendary castles. Highlights include the Roman heritage of Trier, the fairytale setting of Cochem beneath its hilltop castle, and scenic cruising through the dramatic Rhine Gorge, where steep cliffs and historic fortresses define one of Europe’s most iconic river landscapes.
Along the way, discover the romantic streets of Heidelberg, the charming Alsatian capital of Strasbourg, and the colourful villages of the Upper Rhine. Life onboard AmaCerto is relaxed and refined, with comfortable staterooms, panoramic river views and regionally inspired dining enhancing each day’s discoveries.
The journey continues beyond the rivers into Switzerland, travelling by rail from Basel into the Alpine heartland. Enjoy time in Interlaken, framed by mountain peaks and set between shimmering lakes. A highlight of the Swiss journey is an included excursion to Jungfrau, travelling by mountain railway to one of Europe’s most spectacular high‑altitude destinations, offering breathtaking views of glaciers, snow‑capped summits and alpine landscapes.
Continue onward to Zermatt, an iconic car‑free alpine village set beneath the unmistakable silhouette of the Matterhorn, before concluding in Zurich or Geneva for your onward destination.
