5,0 rating based on 1 rating Romantic Rhine with 2 nights Lucerne and 1 night Amsterdam, aboard Avalon Illumination.
Lucerne hotel - Hotel Wilden Mann
Amsterdam hotel - Hotel Jakarta
After 2 nights with optional tours in Lucerne, Avalon transports you to Basel to board the boat.
A stop at Mt. Pilatus, including either gondolas or cogwheel train (depending on the weather) is included, along with a few surprises.
A few hours stop to hike, take in the views and have a snack while you are there.
Board boat in Basel - very easy as only about 140 people onboard.
Calls along the way to Amsterdam:
Breisach (for the Black Forest), Germany (also optional tours to Freiburg, Germany or Colmar, France)
Strasbourg, France
Heidelberg and Mainz, Germany
Rudesheim, Germany
**Cruise Rhine Gorge**with a short stop in Koblenz, Germany
Cologne, Germany
No need to lift a finger with Avalon. Tours, transportation, meals, local guides, EVERYTHING is planned.
We enjoyed the local cuisine, entertainment, and port talks onboard the ship.
A panoramic suite is a must, because there is nothing better than enjoying the castles of the Rhine Gorge from your wall to wall open air windows for the best views (even if you don't want to get out of your robes and slippers.
All washrooms include L'Occitane products!
