Are there later dates than 10/03/26? What riverboat (name)? Does boat offer guided tours?

We do apologize, the very last departure date is the 3rd Oct 2026. If you could kindly let us know your preferred month of travel and budget, we could send you a few alternative cruises for the Rhine.

Can you please advise if the high quality drinks are included within this tour?

We can most definitely include the drinks package to the price as well.

How many paid off the boat excursions are there and the cost? What is the name of the boat?

All the shore excursions offered are at an add on cost. The prices for 2026 will be out by mid-February. In light of the same I have attached the 2025 prices to give you an estimate.

Could you please tell me the prices of all of the optional excursions, so I have a better idea of the cost of the cruise. Also prices for different cabins.

Cabin Category A is priced at approx USD 1,825/- per person. Cabin category C is priced at approx USD 2,166/- per person.
