2027 RIVER CRUISE | SMOOTH JAZZ FESTIVAL
17. - 24. July 2027 | from Basel to Amsterdam | MS AMADEUS Queen

Since over 32 editions our boutique-style Smooth Jazz Festivals have been known for their cosmopolitan, familiar atmosphere at unique places: Good music. Good food. Good wine. Equal to a good time! Starting with our inaugural river cruise from Paris in October 2024, we have been pushing this concept to the next level! More boutique-style. More familiar. More unique places. Equal to a more personal experience! That's our festivals' river cruise editions exploring some of Europe's most charming and historical places while sailing along picturesque waterways and countrysides.

This week-long cruise aboard the luxury AMADEUS Queen begins and ends in Basel – at the tri-border point where Switzerland, Germany, and France meet. Sail through four beautiful countries along one of Europe's most legendary rivers. Explore elegant Strasbourg with its centuries-old cathedral and charming Alsatian old town, visit Heidelberg Castle, and cruise through the romantic Moselle Valley with its castle-crowned ridges and world-famous vineyards. Drift past the mythical Loreley cliffs, stroll through the medieval lanes of Rüdesheim, discover the Roman legacy of Koblenz and Cologne – and finally glide into the open skies and shimmering canals of Amsterdam.

Culinary and musically excellence: Revel in the stylish ambience of the elegant Panorama-Restaurant, breathtaking views of the passing Rhine landscapes, and the high-level service of the AMADEUS staff while savoring our take on haute cuisine paired with fine wines from Europe's most celebrated wine regions. Every day is rounded off with the most fascinating Smooth Jazz masters live on stage in the Panorama-Lounge.
A limited festival experience to max. 130 guests.

"Every river cruise we do together feels like a reunion with family. Join me on the Rhine for a week of incredible music, stunning scenery and moments you'll never forget!"
