Century Star is an environ,mentally conscious vessel, featuring hybrid propulsion, a hull crafted from recycled steel, and full compliance with EU sustainability standards to achieve net-zero carbon performance. It is also a luxury hotel on the river.
A Rhine River cruise aboard eco-luxury Century Star offers a seamless way to explore multiple European countries without the hassle of unpacking more than once.
The cruise route from art-rich Basel to storybook Amsterdam is particularly special, showcasing the best of the river's diverse landscapes and Europe's rich history.
The Rhine River is not just a waterway; it is a lifeline that has shaped European history for over 2,000 years. Flowing from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea, this legendary river has served as a vital trade route, a Roman military frontier, and an inspiration for artists and writers for centuries. Cruising its waters is like travelling through a living museum.
While any European river cruise is a fantastic experience, the Rhine offers a unique blend of features that set it apart. Unlike the wider landscapes you might find on a Danube River cruise, the Rhine is famous for its dramatic, romantic scenery, particularly in the Rhine Gorge. No other place in the world has the density of castles as here.
This constant connection to the land and its history is what makes a cruise along the Rhine so captivating. The Middle Rhine Valley, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves this legacy, making your voyage a truly unforgettable cultural and scenic experience.
With years of experience crafting these journeys, Century Cruises understands what travellers are looking for.
The all-inclusive 8-day package on the Rhine River provides real value, as accommodation, meals, and guided excursions are included. There's no need to worry about logistics; you can relax and enjoy the refined experience. The ability to unpack once and wake up in a new, fascinating destination each day is a significant appeal.
Onboard Century Star, you'll find a comfortable and social atmosphere with like-minded travellers. The accessibility of the ships, combined with hand-picked excursions that cater to different interests, ensures that everyone can make the most of their journey.
Century Cruises is offering an 8-day luxury cruise from Basel to Amsterdam via Cologne, Koblenz, Loreley, Rudesheim, Mannheim, Speyer, and Strasbourgon. The maiden Rhine River cruise onboard Century Star is scheduled for December 11, 2026.
