PORTS OF CALL
Basel, Switzerland
Your journey begins in Basel, the third-largest city in Switzerland, but to see it merely as a starting point is to miss the opening act of a magnificent European performance. Nestled uniquely at the trinational nexus of Switzerland, France, and Germany, Basel is a city of profound culture, intellectual history, and effortless charm. We strongly encourage you to arrive a day or two early to decompress from your travels, acclimate to the rhythm of European life, and discover why this city is considered the cultural capital of Switzerland. Doing so transforms your embarkation from a simple check-in into a rich, immersive experience, setting a relaxed and inspired tone for the voyage ahead.
**Arriving and Getting Your Bearings**
Your international flight will likely land at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (BSL), an airport as unique as the city it serves, jointly operated by France and Switzerland. A simple, well-marked bus ride (Route 50) will have you at the main SBB train station in under 20 minutes. Upon checking into your hotel, you will likely receive a BaselCard, a wonderful civic amenity providing free use of the city’s excellent public transportation system and offering significant discounts on museum admissions. The historic heart of the city is eminently walkable, and the tram system makes exploring farther afield a breeze.
**A Suggested Pre-Cruise Itinerary**
**Day 1: The Historic Heart and Artistic Soul**
After settling in, make your way to the Altstadt (Old Town) in Grossbasel (Greater Basel), the area on the south bank of the Rhine. Your first stop should be the magnificent Basler Münster. This soaring cathedral, built from distinctive red sandstone with a vibrantly tiled roof, is an icon of the city. Climb one of its towers for a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, the Rhine, and the distant Black Forest. Inside, you’ll find the tomb of the great Renaissance humanist, Erasmus—a fitting tribute in this city of learning.
From there, wander down to the Marktplatz (Market Square), a feast for the senses. Here, the striking, crimson-hued Rathaus (Town Hall) presides over a bustling daily market filled with local produce, flowers, and cheeses. It’s the perfect place to absorb the local atmosphere.
For the afternoon, immerse yourself in Basel’s legendary art scene. You have world-class options. The Kunstmuseum Basel is home to one of the oldest public art collections in the world, with an astounding range from Holbein and Rembrandt to Monet, Picasso, and Warhol. Alternatively, for a truly sublime experience, take a short tram ride to the Fondation Beyeler. Housed in a serene, light-filled building designed by Renzo Piano and set in a tranquil park, its collection of modern and contemporary masters is simply breathtaking.
For dinner, explore the cobblestone lanes of the Spalenberg district, where you’ll find charming restaurants serving everything from traditional cheese fondue to sophisticated modern Swiss cuisine. End your evening with a leisurely stroll across the Mittlere Brücke (Middle Bridge), watching the city lights dance on the Rhine’s gentle current.
**Day 2: Local Life, Hidden Histories, and Riverside Charm**
Start your morning by exploring Kleinbasel (Lesser Basel) on the north bank of the Rhine. This side of the river offers a more contemporary, multicultural vibe and provides the classic postcard view back towards the Münster and the Old Town skyline. In the summer, you’ll witness a beloved local ritual: residents floating down the river, their belongings kept dry in a colorful “Wickelfisch,” a fish-shaped waterproof bag that is a Basel invention.
For a unique glimpse into scientific history, consider a visit to the Pharmazie-Historisches Museum (Pharmacy Museum). Housed in a building once used by famous alchemists, it contains one of the world’s largest collections related to the history of pharmacy. You’ll find beautifully preserved historic laboratories, apothecaries’ equipment, centuries-old medicines, and rare herbals—a captivating look into the evolution of medicine and chemistry.
Spend your final afternoon indulging in some shopping along the elegant Freie Strasse or browsing the unique artisan boutiques in Spalenberg. Before heading to the port, find a local café for a final Swiss coffee and a *Basler Läckerli*, the city’s traditional spiced biscuit. When it’s time, a short taxi or tram ride will take you to the river cruise docks at St. Johann or Dreiländereck. You will board your floating hotel not as a weary traveler, but as an enriched and relaxed guest, already carrying the spirit of Switzerland with you as your Rhine adventure truly begins.
