Travel in style along the storied Rhine River on this indulgent Bike & Boat vacation. During your cruise, you’ll wrap yourself in luxury—enjoying the five-star amenities of your Emerald cruise ship. Discover a different country each day as you pedal a well-maintained, fitted VBT bike—joining your VBT trip leaders on carefully curated routes through the Rhine’s picturesque villages. You’ll find ample time for relaxation on board as you splash in the ship’s pool, lounge on the sundeck, and enjoy your comfortable stateroom—or upgrade to a luxurious balcony suite and watch the scenic banks of the Rhine drift by from the privacy of your own cabin. Along the way, you’ll stop to taste exquisite vintages, explore local wineries, and tour charming medieval cities. In the evening, enjoy a full menu of locally-inspired cuisine prepared by your ship’s onboard chef.
Tour Highlights
- Experience the best of both worlds—an all-inclusive river cruise seamlessly paired with a VBT Bicycling Vacation.
- Touch the shores of four captivating countries—Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands—while unpacking your bags just once.
- Pedal through the heart of Alsace along France’s celebrated Route des Vins, discovering charming villages and world-class vineyards.
- Immerse yourself in history as you explore the storied cities of Heidelberg, Koblenz, and Cologne.
- Indulge in a guided tasting of the Mosel Valley’s renowned wines at a welcoming, family-owned winery in Müden.
First time on a river cruise/bike trip. Very nice! Convenient not to pack up suitcases every night, as we have done on previous bike trips. Loved seeing different countries and tasting their food (LOTS of food). It was a perfect way to gather with our friends from different states. Our leaders (Felix & Matilda) and local tour guides of each attraction were knowledgeable, available and fun to be around.
