Spectacular Switzerland with Romantic Rhine

Save up to $6,000 per couple!* 

This European tour includes a Globus escorted vacation in stunning Switzerland, along with an Avalon river cruise on the legendary Rhine River through France, Germany, and Holland.

Discover lakeside cities, alpine scenery and storybook towns, with overnight stays in Zürich, Geneva, the Gruyère region, Interlaken and Lucerne.

In Interlaken, take a rack railway to Jungfraujoch, the “Top of Europe,” for sweeping Alpine and glacier views. Explore Gruyères Castle, taste Swiss chocolate at Maison Cailler, stop in the resort town of Gstaad, and join a guided walk in Lucerne to see the Lion Monument and Chapel Bridge. In Geneva, enjoy guided sightseeing and the city’s striking setting beside the lake and Alps.

Your Rhine cruise begins in Basel and calls at Breisach, a gateway to Germany’s Black Forest, and Strasbourg, where you can admire the Gothic cathedral and wander through the charming La Petite France district. Choose to visit Heidelberg Castle’s ruins or Schwetzingen Castle, then sail through the Rhine Gorge, with its dramatic cliffs and hilltop castles. Finish in Amsterdam with a canal cruise past historic houses and the city’s elegant waterways.
