Festive Time on the Romantic Rhine: 7-Night Cruise from Amsterdam to Basel
- The starting price of $3,859 per person for a 7-night European river cruise is competitive, but the “from” pricing suggests this is the lowest tier/off-season rate with likely significant increases for peak times or better cabins.
- The deal offers a recognized tourist route (Amsterdam to Basel on the Rhine) with included meals and excursions, providing solid value for a bucket-list type trip.
- While Travelzoo is a reputable source for travel deals, the lack of a clear original price makes it difficult to assess the actual savings compared to booking directly or through other agencies; it’s priced well for the market but not clearly a “discount”.
- River cruising is a specific vacation style; this wouldn’t appeal to someone looking for a budget or adventure trip.
- If you’re interested in a comfortable, all-inclusive type Europe experience on the Rhine and this price point fits your budget, it’s a reasonable option, but don’t expect a steep discount.
From $3,859 per person, this 7-night European river cruise aboard Avalon Illumination sails December 6-13, 2025, just in time to soak in the holiday magic.
