We had a great time on our Rhine River cruise in September on Avalon Waterways Vista ship. Here are a few photos from our trip.

Our Cruise Began In Picturesque Basel Switzerland

Where We Had a Private Tour of the Top City Sights Including Their Elaborately Decorated Town Hall

Our Inviting Ship, the Avalon Vista, Was Waiting for Us to Board After Our Tour.

I Enjoyed Staying Active On This Cruise Including a 6-Mile Inclined Hike in the Vineyards of Rudesheim.

Seeing This Impressive Monument at the Top of the Hill Was Worth The Hiking Effort

We Felt Welcome In and Enjoyed the LGBT Nightlife in Koblenz

The Inside of the Famous Cologne Cathedral. The Cathedral Lives Up to Its Hype.

Our Purple Light Group Wanted a Libation After Touring Cologne So We Went Here.

Only to Be Surprised and Entertained by Their “Dummy” Musician Jukebox.

The Rhine River Gorge Was the Highlight of the Cruise. We Saw Castles From Afar.

And Up Close

As Well as Churches and Charming Towns and Villages

The Entire Rhine Gorge Crossing Was Filled with Spectacular Views
