Brief Description 11 Night Cruise sailing from Paris, France onboard S.S. Audrey
Type of Cruise River
Departure Date 15 May 2027
Cruise Description From Moselle Rieslings to Swiss cheeses, and from verdant riverscapes to alpine views, this itinerary is for the connoisseurs of wine, food, and natural beauty. Savor freshly baked bread at a historic flour mill with an unexpected twist: one of the most beautiful private gardens in Germany. Embark on a riverside bike ride through the romantic landscapes along the Rhine River. Hike through the vineyards of Rüdesheim, marvel at Roman ruins in Trier, and immerse yourself in the glamor of Paris.

Day 1 - Paris
Arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport . If your cruise/tour package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to your hotel.

Day 2 - Paris
Paris, often dubbed the “City of Light,” is a mesmerizing blend of historic grandeur and modern elegance. From the cobbled alleys of Montmartre to the grand Champs-Élysées, Paris encapsulates a timeless allure.

Day 3 - Paris, Trier (Embark)
After breakfast at the hotel this morning, we’ll assist you with the checkout process and transfer you to the S.S. Audrey to begin your cruise of the Rhine and Moselle rivers.

Day 4 - Trier (Luxembourg)
Trier is no stranger to famous landmarks, stunning cathedrals, natural beauty, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and architectural treasures. See Trier’s Roman heritage and Gallic charm as you stroll to some of the city’s most notable spots. Marvel at the stone Roman gate, Porta Nigra, the Karl Marx house, Imperial Baths, and more. Alternatively, you can choose to visit the small neighboring country of Luxembourg. Experience a healthy dose of history with a visit to the expansive Luxembourg American War Cemetery and Memorial, where General George S. Patton is buried.
* A special Captain’s Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.

Day 5 - Bernkastel
Bernkastel sits peacefully in the Moselle Valley and is as picture-perfect as it gets. Explore its scenic streets, taverns, and vineyards on a walking tour complete with a tasting of the region’s exceptional wines.

Day 6 - Alken
Originally known by the ancient Romans as “Villa Alcana,” the lovely village of Alken is one of the oldest settlements on the Moselle. Whether you opt to visit a peaceful, lakeside monastery or hike the forested surrounds of Alken, you’ll appreciate the undisturbed serenity of this quiet town.

Day 7 - Rüdesheim, Alken
Rüdesheim, like many cities along the Rhine, dates back to Roman times, when the Rhine was the northern border of the empire. Today, Rüdesheim is famous for its beauty and its entertaining alley of shops and wine bars called the Drosselgasse.

Day 8 - Mannheim
The Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany is known for its idyllic natural environment, rural charm, and expansive vineyards. Forge an authentic connection to this beloved area on one of two unique experiences, led by locals with unique passions. For your first option: meet an estate turning Palatinate winegrowing tradition on its head—where the vineyards don’t produce grapes for wine, but for specialty vinegar aperitifs. On the other, visit a mill-turned-collector's-museum, where you’ll find a fascinating collection of items from around the world and a gorgeous garden.

Day 9 - Breisach
Sandwiched between the Black Forest on one side and French Alsace on the other, Breisach is a picturesque city where the locals will take any opportunity to enjoy a good glass of wine or take advantage of the area’s plentiful hiking and biking paths.
* A special Captain’s Farewell Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.

Day 10 - Basel (Disembark), Zurich
Disembark the ship and transfer to the Dolder Grand Hotel (or similar). Perched like a castle on the hill above Zurich, this hotel offers a quiet, relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy its many bar and restaurant venues, excellent spa, or nature trails. And with its own funicular, private cars, and shuttle services, it’s as convenient a location for exploration as any in the city center.

Day 11 - Zurich
As Switzerland’s financial capital, Zurich boasts the highest population in the country. While it rivals any other European metropolis, the city has never lost its small-town charm. Historic and modern architecture mingle in the streets, beautifully framed by a serene lake and the snow-capped peaks of the alps.

Day 12 - Zurich
Check out of your hotel this morning. If your cruise/tour package includes a transfer, you’ll be taken to Zurich Airport for your flight home.
