The Rhine River is a treasure of Western Europe, from the dramatic mountains of Switzerland out to the North Sea. Of all the waterways on the continent, this river hails as one of the longest. Its picturesque pathway gently meanders through six countries filled with unique delights as it approaches the ocean.

Start your exploration of these countries in Basel, Switzerland. From here your luxury all-inclusive cruise takes you through sublime stretches of the Rhine, punctuated by timeless towns that exude the romance of days long past. Take in Strasbourg, explore Baden- Baden, delight in the charm of Cochem, visit Koblenz and venture to the port city of Amsterdam.

Your voyage will be on the Scenic Opal, a state-of-the-art river cruising vessel catering to just 163 passengers. Lounge on the Sun Deck or relax in the Panorama Lounge and Bar that offers sweeping views of your journey along the picturesque Rhine. Enjoy all-inclusive cruising. All guests aboard Scenic Opal enjoy the personal attention of a trained butler. Whether you need salon appointments, ironing services, or just breakfast and a newspaper delivered to your suite, the butler staff is prepared to respond to your every request.
