Creator's Key Takeaways

I am sailing with Amma Waterways, one of my favorite river cruise lines, and I'm starting in Basil and ending in Amsterdam.

Now, with Amma Waterways, all of your excursions are included.

It's really cool that you don't have to pay any extra for that.

I just really loved getting to see so many different countries in one trip.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Start in Basel and end in Amsterdam for a prettier river journey.
Grab cheese, chocolates, and Rezling in Rudesheim for a picnic on the ship.
