Don’t just take our word for it, this is how our previous travellers rate this tour.
Every year, villages and towns along the Rhine Valley are illuminated by a series of spectacular ‘Rhine in Flames’ festivals. Throughout the summer, the Rhine lights up as Europe’s biggest parade of illuminated ships sail along its waters. The river valley basks in the glow of thousands of red Bengal lights and a kaleidoscope of colours fill the night’s sky as the spectacular hilltop firework displays welcome the flotilla. Join us in 2019 as we enjoy the Rhine in Flames festival on four dates between May and September. Enjoy the spectacle in Bonn, Koblenz, Oberwesel or St. Goarshausen with our selection of departures, each giving you the opportunity to also visit the charming town of Cochem, in the magnificent Moselle Valley.
