European River Cruises: Switzerland

World famous for its stunning landscapes, medieval towns and ever-changing cities, there are plenty of ways to explore this magnificent little country. Perhaps your hearts are set on an adventure through the Swiss mountains and lakes, or you could travel up the Mattertal Valley and gaze at jaw-dropping waterfalls before reaching the summit of the legendary Zermatt for breathtaking views of the Matterhorn. You could even travel on the Glacier Express, enjoying a four-hour trip past beautiful streams and forest-covered hills before reaching heights of 6,700 feet at the Oberalp Pass.

Of course, mountains aren’t Switzerland’s only attraction, have you considered a Rhine River cruise? You could meander through the Rhine Gorge in Germany - where the valley walls soar 400m over our heads and the ruins of ancient castles punctuate the riverbanks - on a five-star river cruise vessel before stepping off the ship to explore the likes of Lucerne and Bernese Oberland. Balanced between inviting cities and awe-inspiring landscapes, there’s no place quite like Switzerland. So, what are you waiting for?
