This morning, the included excursion is a guided tour of Strasbourg and its cathedral (2). Discover Strasbourg from the water! You’ll see all the great sites on the riverbanks, from Petite France—listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1988—to the European Quarter, where institutions such as the Council of Europe and the European Parliament are located. After, continue on foot to the magnificent Gothic cathedral, built over three centuries. The famous west front is decorated with thousands of figures, and its spire measures over 466 feet. The cathedral is built out of pink sandstone from the nearby Vosges Mountains, which gives it its characteristic hue that changes according to the sunlight and the color of the sky. Standing before the symbol of the city, you’ll understand why Victor Hugo called it a “gigantic and delicate" marvel. It is one of the very few Gothic churches with only one tower. Among its wonders are the stained glass windows, including the 46-foot-high Rose Window. The great organ is a masterpiece to see as well as to hear. And the astronomical clock is a Renaissance treasure not to be missed. Return by coach to the ship, and spend the afternoon cruising to Breisach.
