Celebrate the fairytale beauty and romantic
This tour really lives up to its name with castles, castles, and more spectacular castles. Gracing the shores of the middle Rhine Valley are more Medieval, Gothic, and Renaissance castles than in any other river valley in the world. The fairytale castles, combined with the breathtaking landscape of terraced vineyards, Alsatian countryside, and old-world towns, will leave you awestruck.
Artists, musicians, writers, and poets from all over Europe have immortalized the Rhine’s unadulterated natural beauty in their songs, art, stories, and poetry. Byron, Dumas, Hugo, and Heine celebrated it in their writing. Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Schubert, and Wagner idolized it in their music, and Turner captured it in his paintings. And even today, the Rhine continues to inspire those who visit—especially Germany’s upper middle Rhine Valley, spanning approximately 40 miles between Koblenz and Rüdesheim. This area has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Enjoy a full-day tour along the Alsatian Wine Road, and taste the region’s famous Rheingau Rieslings while at Castle Vollrads. As you travel along the Rhine, you’ll discover each bend and twist affords new surprises that are certain to inspire you the way countless others have been inspired for centuries.
Castles Along the Rhine also features Uniworld’s Multi-Generational Family-Friendly Program during the summer months, so you can share the magic of this fairytale region with special young people in your life.
Who will enjoy this cruise: Romantics, history buffs, wine connoisseurs, and nature lovers will rejoice in Medieval wine towns, glorious castles, majestic cathedrals, world-class cities, and the romantic Rhine’s glorious natural beauty.
