Rhine cruises are probably the most popular of all European river cruises. Some cruise ships stay strictly within the boundaries of the Rhine, while others combine it with other waterways in Germany, Austria, Hungary or the Netherlands. One of the Rhine cruises, perhaps the best one, takes you to Basel, Switzerland's second largest city. Over there you can see works by Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali and have a great view of the Rhine from Wettstein Bridge. There are also other destinations.
Other Rhine cruises may take you on an excursion to Strasbourg, a town in the heart of France, characterized by a mix of French and German influences. Some other Rhine cruises may allow you to book a cruise with a longer itinerary with hotel deals.
