Why choose between the quaint scenery of the Rhine and the awe-inspiring sights along the Danube when you can combine both—and top it off with a five-star stay in Zurich?

Embark on a captivating journey between the charming city of Basel and the majestic Vienna, traversing three magnificent rivers—the Rhine, Main, and Danube—while exploring the enchanting landscapes of Switzerland, France, Germany, and Austria. 

Indulge in the allure of the resort town of Baden-Baden, ascend to the canopy of Bamberg's treetops, and delve into the rich history of palatial residences once inhabited by esteemed rulers. Venture into the verdant expanse of the Bavarian forest, savoring the essence of Rheingau wines and German beers at their very source. Marvel at the breathtaking riverscapes of the Wachau Valley and the abundance of agricultural treasures it harbors.

Before or after your cruise, immerse yourself in Swiss culture during a two-night stay at the prestigious Dolder Grand Hotel in Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, enriching your journey with unforgettable experiences both on land and water. From beginning to end, this adventure promises an array of cherished memories that will endure a lifetime.

Grand Central Europe is a combination of Zurich & the Rhine River Valley and Authentic Danube.
