Join us for an exceptional, 11-night European journey carefully crafted with the carefree comforts of river cruising and the ease of a luxury hotel stay. You’ll wend your way along the Rhine and Moselle Rivers for seven nights through the Netherlands, Germany and France, and then bask in Switzerland’s sensational scenery over three nights in the Swiss Alps.
Aboard the exclusively chartered, deluxe Viva Enjoy, savor the unfolding riverside scenery of terraced vineyards, castles and fairytale towns as you relax on deck. Daily shore excursions introduce you to Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Cologne, Cochem, Rüdesheim and Heidelberg in Germany; and Strasbourg, the Alsatian capital, in France. Your fascinating explorations continue on land in Switzerland with three nights at the deluxe Kempinski Palace Engelberg as you delve into Basel, Lucerne and a full-day excursion to Lauterbrunnen, with its breathtaking views of three Alpine peaks.
