What our customers ask about Rhine Cruises in May 2025
What are the most popular Rhine River cruise itineraries in May?
The Amsterdam to Basel route stands out as the prime choice for May Rhine River cruises. Leading companies such as AmaWaterways and Avalon Waterways operate 7-8 day journeys with stops in Cologne Rüdesheim and Strasbourg. The UNESCO-listed Rhine Gorge section showcases medieval castles against a backdrop of spring-blooming vineyards. Some travelers opt for specialized options like UTracks' "Mainz to Strasbourg" bike and barge tour with stays at Hotel Heidelberg. A TourRadar reviewer noted: "The May timing was perfect - fewer crowds than summer but warm enough to enjoy all the outdoor activities and castle views."
