One of the things I love about Titan River Cruises is that all your meals are cooked on board and prepared using the finest ingredients, which are often bought from local farmers markets, so you really do get a true flavour of the places you visit.

Full Itinerary

Day 1: UK - Düsseldorf - Cologne

Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home, for your flight to Düsseldorf. Upon arrival, transfer to Cologne and embark MS Serenade 1 (4-star) where light refreshments are available.

Day 2: Koblenz

Where the Rhine and the Moselle rivers meet sits Koblenz. We’ll spend the morning wandering the city’s string of charming squares as part of our included tour, before taking the cable car up to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress - the perfect vantage point to snap a postcard view of the rivers below.

Day 3: Koblenz - Lorelei Passage - Rüdesheim

After breakfast, take your spot up on the sundeck to get the best views of the magnificent scenery as we sail the Lorelei Passage - famed as the most beautiful stretch of the Rhine. We arrive in pretty Rüdesheim with the afternoon to explore. Here, the town is full of timber-framed houses and surrounded by vast vineyards.

Day 4 Speyer

This pastel-pretty town is easily explored by foot, which is a real treat as it boasts so many original pre-WWII features. We’ll enjoy a walking city tour taking in the incredible synagogue and looming cathedral.

Day 5 Strasbourg

Having changed hands a few times over the years, Strasbourg has both French and German influences, giving it a multi-cultural flavour. Here, the great Gothic cathedral sits obediently next to the quaint Petite France district. We’ll see all the best bits on our city tour and canal cruise this afternoon.

Day 6 Breisach

Nestled among the vineyards between the Rhine and the Black Forest - with French neighbours just across the river in Alsace, it’s little wonder Breisach is a town of good food and good wine. Explore at leisure, or join us on an optional excursion to Lake Titisee, where you’ll enjoy a cruise and some free time soaking up the peaceful ambience.

Day 7 Basel

The ‘city for art lovers’, Basel is known for its wealth of galleries, museums and iconic buildings. You’ll have the whole day at leisure to discover the charming architecture and winding streets.

Day 8 Basel - UK

We transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.
