Dusseldorf is one of the most modern cities that flank the Rhine. At first glance it looks very business-orientated, with its banking, advertising and fashion industries recognised globally. Spend a few hours exploring, though, and you’ll discover an old quarter where pork knuckles are served with beer, and archaic theatres are set back off the pavement. Also of note is Dusseldorf harbour. It’s one of the city’s latest developments, and is recognised for its impressive avant-garde architecture – like Claude Vasconi’s Grand Bateau, built to resemble an ocean liner. Dusseldorf’s metroline’s an arty masterpiece, too – it’s decorated with geometric shapes and projections of planets and even has some LED walls.
Settings like Koblenz’s don’t come around often. The city’s a meeting place of mountains and rivers and the Rhine and Moselle rivers come together here, too. The waterfront’s dotted with UNESCO-stamped forts and palaces, while fairy tale castles christen the hilltops on the edge of town. And the surrounding valleys are teeming with terraced vines and world-class wineries. You can take a cable car up to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress for spectacular views over the city and its two rivers. When you arrive at the fort, you can explore its many museums, as well. Alternatively, catch a bus to Schloss Stolzenfels. This hilltop-castle-turned-palace is super-grand, which is fitting considering it’s played host to guests like Queen Victoria.
Rudesheim’s a little town in the heart of Germany’s wine country. It’s part of the Rhine Gorge, a 65-kilometre-long, fortress-filled UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gothic, 16th-century houses line the water’s edge. And this is backed by a hillside sprinkled with walking trails for hikers, castles for historians and vineyards for wine-lovers. In fact, some of the biggest vineyards in Germany are found near here. Stick about in the centre of town, and you’ve got plenty of shops and bars to nip in and out of, plus a collection of museums focusing on toys, musical instruments and wine. Don’t miss the Niederwald Monument. The ride up to this giant, 100-year-old statue serves up incredible views of the town down below.
Cologne’s an iconic German city for so many reasons – like its beer halls, Christmas markets and a cathedral that’s graced many a holiday brochure cover. It’s also a city of contrasts where ancient Roman walls and Medieval churches rub shoulders with a postmodern quarter chock-full of chic shops. For drinks, head to Paffgen, a popular beer hall and garden. Or visit the Imhoff-Schokoladenmuseum on the waterfront – a museum dedicated to the history of chocolate. Try to pronounce its name while sampling a tasty chunk or two. And don’t leave Cologne without walking through its cathedral. This World Heritage Site hovers majestically over the roofs of the city, and its interior’s just as impressive as its two spikey spires.
Arnhem makes a good first impression, thanks to its up-to-date, shop-filled centre. Sprinklings of bright-green public parks are in the mix, too, so prime picnic territory’s in good supply. As one of the major players during the Second World War, Arnhem doesn’t hold back with its history, either. The city took to the world stage during Operation Market Garden in 1944, which you can learn about during a guided tour. And although a lot of it was destroyed during the fighting, the city’s since been rebuilt and put all its effort into art. Museums and galleries are scattered along the Rhine, and even the train station’s been given an abstract makeover that’s worthy of a photo stop.
You might hear Rotterdam referred to by a different name – the Gateway to the World, thanks to all the roads, rivers and railways that pass through it. And as Europe’s biggest port, it’s packed with lots of things to do, too. Start off by getting a bird’s eye view of the city from the top of the Euromast Tower – the tallest building in Rotterdam. Snap some photos from the viewing platform, then head to the restaurant for a sweet stroopwafel pastry. Over in the old quarter, you can learn about the bombing of Rotterdam during a tour of the 600-year-old St Lawrence Church – the only building in the area left standing after World War 2. Then, go for a wander around the city’s collection of art galleries, where you’ll see pieces by Picasso, Rembrandt and Van Gogh.
Criss-crossed by bridges and canals, Amsterdam is known as the Venice of the north. But its waterways are not all it’s famous for. In fact, mention the name of The Netherlands' capital city and you’ll get a whole list of associations. Clogs, cheese and windmills top the list, followed closely by World War history, cutting-edge art and coffee shops. One thing’s for sure, when you join the millions of tourists that flock to the city every year, you won’t have to look hard to find something that interests you.

All our cabins come with air-conditioning, a hairdryer, a flatscreen TV, a safe and tea and coffee making facilities. Plus, they’re all on the outside of the ship, with a porthole, window or French balcony.
The cabins shown are representative of the general standard of cabins on board. Your cabin may differ slightly in decor, design and size.
Dining-wise, you’ve got your pick of two restaurants, Verdastro and Bistro. You can look forward to a six-course gala dinner on sailings of five nights or more, too. Our cruises are on a Full Board Plus basis, which means dining at our two restaurants and a range of mealtime drinks are included. If you fancy a bigger selection of drinks or want a glass of wine outside of mealtimes, you’ll need to upgrade to our All Inclusive package, or pay as you go.
You’ve got your pick of all sorts of daytime activities. There are wellness-themed activities, too, like yoga and Pilates. And if games are more your thing, head to the top deck for a few rounds of minigolf.
Evenings can be as relaxed or up-tempo as you like on board TUI Isla – watch live music at Observatory, or nurse a cocktail at Club Lounge.
Please Note: TUI River Cruises are for adults only, so all passengers will need to be at least 18 years old.
