Jewish Heritage Program (select sailings): Our Jewish Heritage Program is the only one of its kind on the rivers and allows you to dive into Central Europe's enduring Jewish legacy with visits to museums, memorials, synagogues and more. Please note: due to site closures during the High Holidays, the Jewish Heritage program will not operate on the following departures: Amsterdam to Basel: September 18; Basel to Amsterdam: September 28. Tours that fall on Saturdays will not operate due to Shabbat, and some sites may be closed during other significant events, such as Passover.
