Rare Roz Posted July 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Amsterdam to Basel was the last river cruise I took pre-Covid. It's a great itinerary. Will you be able to spend a few days pre-cruise in Amsterdam? I think I was on the River Empress and there were low water levels on the Rhine. We were one of the last ships to make it all the way down to Basel. Uniworld had to substitute a few ports and rearrange things, but we were just glad we made it to Basel on time and didn't have to change air reservations. Our captain looked to be about 25 yrs. old but he did a fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know what happened there! :/..I really want to be able to go down the river, not be let off at a port, get on a bus and be transported. I guess we are just going to make it a adventure! I hear there is some ship swamping and that sounds interesting.... As far as pre-cruise, yes, we will have some days to wander around a bit. We are going to have some days in Edinburgh so we can see the Royal Tattoo and stay 4 days there. Fly to Amsterdam and stay 3 days pre-cruise. 8 day trip down the Rhine, 3 days in Zurich, train to Oberammergau to see the Passion Play, a day in Munich, then home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottjeanne Posted July 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2022 We were on the River Empress, Amsterdam to Basel from July 2 to the 9, 2022. There was no issues with water level. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
