Bus Travel

Strasbourg, France

Bus Travel

Kehl, Germany

Your Scenic Space-Ship will dock in Kehl this afternoon, just across the border from the French city of Strasbourg, the capital of the Alsace region. Here, sherbert-colored, half-timbered houses heave together on the banks of a complex network of canals. It's a captivating blend of France and Germany, of a medieval past and an innovative future. Strasbourg has an infectious, youthful energy and you'll regularly see the locals enjoying spontaneous soccer games and pop-up wine bars.

Day 3 - Wednesday - Mar 18, 2026

Rastatt Landing, Germany, Germany

Dock in Rastatt this morning, a Baroque town with an abundance of green spaces and two iconic palaces. It's also the gateway to Baden-Baden, a spa town on the edge of the Black Forest. Its curative waters, thermal baths, and luxurious hotels made it a favorite retreat of the European elite in the 19th century.

Day 4 - Thursday - Mar 19, 2026

Mannheim, Germany

Arrive in Mannheim early this morning. A large metropolitan center, Mannheim still runs along its recognizable 18th-century grid pattern and is known for its grand Baroque squares, fountains, and palace. Your Freechoice excursions today will take you away from the city to discover more of the surrounding region.

Day 5 - Friday - Mar 20, 2026

Koblenz, Germany

Relax onboard this morning as you cruise through the picturesque Rhine Gorge, where the landscapes could have been pulled from the pages of a fairytale. This 65-kilometer stretch of the river is dotted with some 40 hilltop castles and fortresses that span a period of 1,000 years. Look out for the Lorelei statue, dedicated to the tragic legend of a beautiful maiden. This afternoon, dock in one of Germany's oldest cities. Koblenz was founded by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago and is brimming with history. It sits where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet and promises a melange of French and German cultures. Koblenz is filled with parks and flowers and is the gateway to both the romantic Rhine Valley and the beautiful Moselle Valley.

Day 6 - Saturday - Mar 21, 2026

Cologne, Germany

Arrive in the 2,000-year-old city of Cologne this morning. Cologne suffered extensive damage during World War II but was painstakingly restored over the following decades.

Day 7 - Sunday - Mar 22, 2026

Amsterdam, Netherlands

This morning, your Scenic Space-Ship will arrive in Amsterdam. The Netherlands' capital is a treasure trove of architectural beauty, galleries filled with masterpieces, 16th-century canals, narrow cobbled laneways, and streets busy with cyclists. Often referred to as the Venice of the North, much of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed canal system exists today as it did hundreds of years ago, lined with well-preserved houses and intersected by charming bridges.

Day 8 - Monday - Mar 23, 2026

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Your cruise finishes this morning in Amsterdam. Savor one final breakfast onboard before you disembark, taking with you a lifetime of memories.
