Saturday March 18:
Arnhem–Dusseldorf
From 4pm you are welcome on board the Antonio Bellucci. The marble floors of the spacious entrance and the chandelier-lit staircases naturally lead you to the beautifully decorated lounge. After an initial introduction of the ship, we invite you for dinner. Around 7pm we lift anchor and set course for Düsseldorf. In the lounge, the musician will ensure a pleasant evening in the evening.
Sunday March 19:
Dusseldorf - Königswinter
We arrive in Düsseldorf before breakfast. In the morning you have the opportunity to explore Düsseldorf. The Altstadt shows you the old part of Düsseldorf, while the Medienhafen introduces you to modern architecture. You can discover this interesting city during an excursion(*) that you can book on board. As we continue our journey and sail past Cologne, a High Tea will be served in the lounge in the afternoon. In the course of the evening we moor in Königswinter.
Monday March 20:
Konigswinter - Koblenz
During the morning the environment along the Rhine will slowly change. As soon as we pass the Siebengebirge, the first vineyards, fortresses and castles come into view. Halfway through the afternoon we moor in Koblenz at the Deutsche Eck. Here the Moselle flows into the Rhine. From the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress on the opposite side, which you can reach by cable car, you have a wonderful view of the city and both rivers.
Tuesday March 21:
Koblenz - Rudesheim
The start of an unforgettable day. During the journey to Rüdesheim you can enjoy a magnificent panorama, formed by the steep banks on both sides of the jagged river. After we have passed the Loreley, it is still a short sail before we arrive in Rüdesheim. Here you will find Siegfrieds Mechanicals Music Cabinet, the wine museum, the Drosselgasse and many other sights.
Wednesday March 22:
Rudesheim - Speyer
We leave Rüdesheim with a bit of a melancholy feeling. Through the Rheinhessen district, known for its delicious Rhine wine, we now set course for Speyer. The cityscape of this old imperial city is determined by the ancient Romanesque cathedral, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. A visit to the Technical Museum is certainly very interesting.
Thursday March 23:
Speyer - Strasbourg
On our journey of discovery, we cross the border of France and head for our next destination, Strasbourg. The beautiful buildings testify to a rich history and it will therefore not surprise you that this city in particular serves as the seat of the European Parliament. On board you will be happy to inform you about the best way to see this vibrant city.
Friday March 24:
Strasbourg - Basel
When you wake up, we are already on the canalized Rhine: the Grand Canal d'Alsace. On the port side, the peaks of the Black Forest rise on the horizon and on the starboard side you can see the foothills of the Vosges. In the afternoon we arrive at our final destination Basel, where we will stay for two days. You have enough time here to visit the city.
Saturday March 25:
Basel (full day)
From Basel you can take part in a magnificent bus tour(*) through Switzerland. This wonderful tour shows you the most beautiful parts of Switzerland. You can register on board for this optional full-day excursion, which is regarded by many as the highlight of the trip.
