Trafalgar Verity

Sailing on the Rhine River

Trafalgar Verity is a one-of-a-kind Art Deco masterpiece, offering river views from every room. Elevated touches - from marble bathrooms to the only working fireplace on Europe’s rivers and an upper deck giant chess set create a sense of elegance and fun - with splashes of blue and white - as you sail past the Rhine’s vineyards and castles on your Rhine River Cruise.

Your Trafalgar Verity experience

With virtually everything included, your Trafalgar Verity Rhine River cruise promises to be a never to be forgotten treat.

Sip & savour the Rhine with all onboard meals included

Menus that bring regional flavours to your plate. Wake to buffet breakfasts with a live egg station, moving into lunch, then three-course à la carte dinners by night, and every meal is timed perfectly around your onshore experiences. Local recipes shine and house wine, beer, tea, and coffee are included with lunch and dinner. Want something extra special? Optional specialty dishes and premium beverages are available too for a little extra.

Do as much or as little as you like

Each day brings something different, shaped by the season and the Rhine River cruise route. One morning you might find live music drifting through the lounge; the next, you’re in the kitchen with our pastry chef learning the secrets of a sweet German Butterkuchen. Meet the Captain in the wheelhouse or join a yoga class on deck - the choice is always yours.

Spaces to match your mood

Designed for relaxation and river views, Trafalgar Verity offers plenty of inviting spaces to enjoy. Chat with fellow explorers in the bar, or unwind in the lounge or library. You’ll also love the opportunity to cosy up in front of the fireplace, the only one of it’s kind on Europe’s riverways. Your home away from home encourages you to relax exactly as you wish.
