The Perfect New Year Party

5 days, 29th December 2019, from £849 per person

Start 2020 with a bang on our Rhine New Year Party River Cruise – is there any better way to kick off the New Year? This five-day excursion includes live evening entertainment from the talented Keith Slater, visits to a selection of famous towns such as Rudesheim, Koblenz and Cologne, delicious meals, free drinks and so much more.

Despite all the fantastic features this Rhine cruise has, the star of the show is unsurprisingly day three: New Year’s Eve.

A Rhine Cruise on New Year’s Eve

The best day of our Rhine cruise begins first thing in the morning, as you spend the early hours sailing by the area’s majestic fortresses, hamlets and castles, and passing everything from the legendary Lorelei Rock to some of the most gorgeous scenery in all of Germany. You can even start your celebrations first thing by welcoming in the day with a tipple or two from the drinks menu – after all, if you can’t indulge on New Year’s Eve, when can you? Don’t worry, it doesn’t stop there so there’s no need to ration. Cocktails, wine and all manner of spirits will be flowing until 1am.

By the time the afternoon has rolled around, we will be arriving in the gorgeous little town of Rudesheim. You can choose to explore by yourself or join one of our directors on a stroll to Drosselgausse, a unique cobblestone lane filled with restaurants, bars and live music. As it will be the last day of 2019, why not treat yourself to a Rudsheimer Kaffee made with a splash of Asbach brandy? You will then end the evening with a special dinner and count down to the New Year with your fellow passengers!

It isn’t just our New Year’s Eve celebrations that make this one of our best river cruises – New Year’s Day itself is also special. The first day of 2020 is wonderfully relaxed, featuring a leisurely trip back to Cologne, a delicious brunch and free time to explore the city as much as you like (or rest if you happened to have one glass of champagne too many the night before).

“Staff were so friendly, passengers mixed well and joined in and there was excellent entertainment. Just great fun!”
