What our customers ask about River Cruises in Alsace & Lorraine
What are the main highlights of an Alsace & Lorraine river cruise itinerary?
An Alsace & Lorraine river cruise takes travelers through northeastern France's most notable sites. The journey includes stops at Strasbourg where the Gothic cathedral and Christmas markets draw visitors year-round and Colmar's Little Venice district with its waterside buildings. Along the Alsatian Wine Route boats pause at medieval villages like Eguisheim and Riquewihr. Passengers can visit traditional pottery villages see local wine cellars and attend performances at venues such as the Royal Palace in Kirrwiller. Ships like the MS Modigliani and MS La Bohème cruise the Marne-Rhine Canal offering views of medieval castles including Haut-Barr while cultural stops feature attractions like the Chagall trail in Sarrebourg. As one TourRadar traveler noted about their CroisiEurope cruise: "The combination of cultural visits and scenic cruising was perfect for experiencing authentic Alsace."
What is the best time of year to take an Alsace & Lorraine river cruise?
Spring and winter stand out as prime seasons for exploring Alsace & Lorraine by river. April brings flowering vineyards along the Wine Route and mild weather that's ideal for walking through villages like Colmar and Riquewihr. December transforms the region into a festive destination with Christmas markets in Strasbourg and Colmar featuring traditional crafts and holiday decorations. The MS Jeanine and MS Madeleine operate from April through October on the Marne-Rhine Canal while special Christmas market cruises run in December on vessels like the MS Modigliani. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Visiting in December was enchanting - the Christmas markets and decorations in Strasbourg created an unforgettable atmosphere."
