The Rhine and Glacier Express to St Moritz
Marvel at the beauty of Lake Geneva and the majesty of the Alps as your holiday begins with two hotel stays in Switzerland.
Explore the exquisite Chillon Castle and enjoy some local wine before you’ve even checked-in at your first hotel in Montreux and look forward to an included visit to the Olympic city of Lausanne with its fascinating museum. Your next two-night hotel stay is in St Moritz, and there is no better way to get there than an eight-hour journey through the Alps aboard the Glacier Express - the slowest express train in the world, which means you have ample time to savour the views while navigating nearly 100 tunnels and 300 bridges! Enjoy a cable-car trip into the peaks to drink in stunning views from the Diavolezza Glacier on the final day at your hotel before heading to Basel the following morning to step aboard Saga’s brand new luxury ship, Spirit of the Rhine.
Cruise into Germany and moor in Breisach, from where you might wish to explore the Black Forest, before crossing into France to explore Strasbourg’s delightful cobbled streets and picturesque half-timbered houses on an included guided tour and canal cruise. Another included excursion visits stately Heidelberg before you reach the beautiful Middle Rhine where you can raise a glass in the pretty wine town of Rudesheim. See historic Koblenz and explore the sights of Cologne before your cruise concludes in Amsterdam, where you can look forward to an included city tour and canal cruise to see the highlights, or alternatively enjoy a walking tour themed around delightful Dutch food.
