Many ways to explore the Rhine RiverAlong its vast path across the continent, the Rhine River travels through Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands. While winding through Europe, the Rhine also encounters a number of tributaries, other rivers, and canals. Most notable are the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal and the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. Because of these, Main River cruises and Danube River cruises also connect easily with the Rhine. Because of the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal, river cruises to Amsterdam are a common occurrence for those traveling the Rhine.
