River Cruises Rhine in Flames
Departing 4th May 2023 7 nights cruise only from £1,615pp Flight inclusive from £2,020pp
First organized in 1977, the spectacular annual firework show “Rhine in Flames®“ will take place once more in the spring of 2023. A limited number of river vessels have the privilege to partake in the event, and AMADEUS Imperial is one of them. Germany‘s largest and oldest fireworks show has been attracting guests from all over the world for decades. Over 150,000 people flock to the banks of the Rhine each year to admire this spectacular annual event. Join us again, this time in Bonn and against the backdrop of the Siebengebirge.
After leaving Cologne, the brightly illuminated ship will take its first row position on the river in the city of Bonn. After dinner, enjoy amazing fireworks and rousing music from the Sun Deck and see the starry night sky over the Rhine River come alive with a thousand lights and flames. Thrilling hilltop fireworks light up the sky and reflect in the water, while thunder echoes rebound off the hillsides. After the final salute of the passing convoy of boats, continue your evening with exquisite drinks and the best of company in the Panorama-Bar. Late at night, the AMADEUS Imperial continues its voyage to Cochem on the Moselle River.
