Cruise

STRASBOURG - BREISACH - STRASBOURG

Set sail on the Rhine for a unique autumn adventure. Between pristine nature and exceptional heritage, this cruise-and-hike experience takes you deep into the heart of the Rhineland—exploring the volcanic landscapes of Kaiserstuhl and the dense forests of the Vosges. Each day, lace up your hiking boots to uncover Alsace and Baden-Württemberg from a fresh perspective: secret trails, vineyard panoramas, and medieval castles perched high.

Onboard, enjoy the comfort of a welcoming vessel, a warm atmosphere, and authentic local flavors. Between invigorating hikes and relaxing moments, let the gentle rhythm of the river carry you through the enchanting lands of Alsace and Germany.
