An all-inclusive, LGBT+ 7-night deluxe Rhine riverboat cruise from World Pride in Amsterdam to Basel, Switzerland.

Come early and celebrate World Pride in the most diverse city in the world, and enjoy more than 300 activities at the largest Pride celebration ever!

A unique river cruise experience unlike any you’ll find on the rivers of Europe today. With this all-LGBT+ full cruise charter on the Amadeus Riva, you will be pampered by a crew of forty-six in an atmosphere of total relaxation. Embark on an enchanting journey through the heart of Europe, where each city is a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered, as we journey through three countries: Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland.

Our adventure begins in picturesque Amsterdam, where World Pride will be in full swing. Come early and enjoy (on your own) all that this extraordinary, international pride celebration has to offer. Then glide along the timeless waters of the Rhine river, discovering the vibrancy of Cologne, the enchantment of Koblenz, the allure of Ruedesheim, the history of Speyer and the charm of Strasbourg. Finally, bask in the alpine glow of beautiful Basel.

Join us as we unveil the beauty of these captivating cities, creating memories that will linger in your heart forever.

    Onboard Parties and Activities

    Although the focus of our cruises is mainly on sightseeing and socializing, we do like to mix in a bit of frivolity as well. With that in mind, we’ll plan a couple of themed deck parties during the cruise, for which details will be released closer to the cruise. If you should choose to participate, great – and if you’d rather just be a voyeur, that is totally fine as well!

  • Prices start at $7,299 (USD) per person, depending on the available and selected category. For single occupancy, an additional fee will apply, also depending on the chosen category.
