AmaWaterways Enchanting Rhine

7 nights on the Rhine · Basel to Amsterdam · from A$3,893 pp

Enchanting Rhine at a glance

Enchanting Rhine is a 7-night AmaWaterways river cruise on the Rhine, from Basel to Amsterdam, on AmaCerto, AmaFiora, AmaLucia, AmaMaria, AmaPrima, AmaSiena, AmaSofia, AmaStella or AmaViola. There are 174 departures between November 2026 and December 2028, from A$3,893 per person twin share in a Window stateroom, cruise only, with port charges and gratuities included.

Basel sits in the shadow of the Alps, where the Rhine is young and purposeful, and seven nights sailing north to Amsterdam carry you as the river widens and the landscape opens. The dramatic Rhine Gorge arrives early, castle-topped crags, the legendary Lorelei rock and terraced Riesling vineyards, before the river eases through Germany's medieval wine towns toward Holland's canal-laced waterways and, finally, Amsterdam. The Rhine widens with every mile.
