Why this route stands out

A closer look at the journey

Basel

Founded right on the spot where Switzerland, Germany and France meet, Basel soon became an important European hub and centre of trade due to its special location. A popular attraction in the city is Switzerland’s oldest zoo – which the locals affectionately call the ‘Zolli’. It is one of the most important zoos in Switzerland and has gained global recognition for its breeding programmes. Basel also has eight churches with historical organs that still fill the naves with excellent music today.

Breisach

Breisach is a town with approximately 16,500 inhabitants, situated along the Rhine in the Rhine Valley, in the district Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, about halfway between Freiburg and Colmar — 20 kilometres away from each — and about 60 kilometres north of Basel near the Kaiserstuhl.

Kehl

The Roman commander Drusus founded Strasbourg as a military outpost in 12 BCE. Today it is a thriving metropolis that has maintained many small half-timbered houses and an historic old town. Even the briefest glance at Strasbourg Cathedral will tell you that you are standing before one of the most important of its kind in Europe – and one of the largest sandstone buildings in the world.

Your ship

TUI Elara

TUI Elara – which means bright in Greek – will be the eighth ship in our TUI River Cruises fleet when she sets sail in 2027. She’ll sail on the Moselle, the Belgian and Dutch Waterways, and the Rhine River, where storybook castles and centuries-old wineries line up alongside big-name cities like Amsterdam and Cologne. Like our other river cruise ships, it’ll be an adults-only set-up onboard, and with a maximum of 138 passengers, there’ll be an intimate feel, too.
