European Cruise: When to Go?

Europe is an incredible destination all year long. However, there may be better months to visit based on your personal interests & preferences. Weather, activity options, & festivals are just a few of the factors that could determine when you travel. Here is some insight into best times for a Europe river cruise.

Highlights of Dusseldorf, Germany
Experience old Germany and new Germany all in one picturesque city: Dusseldorf. The Alstadt (Old Town) is home to many sites that reflect the country's deep history:

13th century St. Lambertus Church & Schlossturm (Castle Tower)
The shops on Königsallee and Schadowstrasse Streets

The new town is also a fascinating area to tour, with the popular and iconic Rheinturm telecommunications tower that soars above the skyline.

No matter which part of the city you decide to explore, there will be options to do so on foot or by bike for a more active experience.

Your cruise will then continue on to other destinations along the Rhine, like Amsterdam and Cologne.

Our advisor at Adventure Life, Mary Curry, was knowledgable and quick to respond with answers to any questions we had. She made our booking efficiently and set up a time for us to make a secure payment through her directly. We’ve used Adventure Life repeatedly and would definitely recommend it.

I selected Adventure Travel as I was not satisfied with the responsiveness of the agent for the cruise I was trying to book and it had good recommendations. So far, I am quite happy with my agent, Betty, very responsive and accommodating.
