Itinerary
Explore Germany’s Black Forest, then pedal through the picturesque valley of the Wiese River, stopping en route to sample a local specialty dessert. Dinner is onboard the Antoinette this evening, paired with well-selected wines from the regions that lie ahead.
Spend the morning exploring the ship, taking in stunning views from all sides. Ride around the Kaiserstuhl, ‘the Kaiser’s Chair’, a renown wine region at the foot of the Black Forest and stop for a private wine tasting. Enjoy a sunset dinner onboard as we set sail for Kehl.
Set forth along pristine bike paths and dreamy landscapes on a ride ending in Strasbourg. Take a guided tour through Strasbourg's timbered houses, sedate canals, and Gothic landmarks—this is truly one of Europe's most underrated cities.
An overnight sail brings us to Mannheim, the gateway city to Germany’s economic and industrial prowess. Explore the lush valley of the Neckar River on a scenic route ending in the quaint town of Heidelberg—a must-see!
Welcome to Rüdesheim, the village marking the unofficial entrance to the spectacular Middle Rhine. Set out on an easy traverse of the Rhine Gorge, where you'll be treated by a new castle coming into view every mile or so.
Take in the iconic images of the Rhine as you meander toward Koblenz. Or, detour into the Lahntal, a tributary river valley with stark beauty all its own—both options stop at the remarkable Marksburg Castle!
Wake up in Cologne and set out on a splendid urban ride, culminating at the splendid Kölner Dom cathedral. Return to the ship and relax on deck or arrange a well-deserved massage.
After a final breakfast on the water, we part company in Amsterdam this morning. We highly recommend a few more days here in the Netherlands’ bustling capital, which our travel team can help arrange for you.
