of Lake Lucerne to the very top – Oberhaupt. In the event that weather prevents ascending by cogwheel train, we will go up by cable car. Either way getting there is definitely part of the fun, as you’re surrounded by views of Alpine meadows, mountain streams, and flowering fields along the way. But instead today you may prefer the pleasures of a wine tasting and lunch along the Alsatian wine route. If so, you’ll head to Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg, originally built in the 1200s on a rocky promontory above the French Alsatian plains; it’s an ideal – and strategic – spot for observing comings and goings. Burned, abandoned, and then restored to its former glory in 1899, the castle presents a picture of a mountain fortress of the Middle Ages, brimming with beautiful details. A tasting of Alsatian wines and lunch at your choice of local restaurants completes the afternoon. Regardless of your choice of excursion, your day ends in Basel, which lies at the center of the “Three Corners,” where France, Germany and Switzerland meet at the River Rhine. Along the Rhine Promenade, broad steps feature cafés with views of the city skyline and the Münster Cathedral. From the 16th-century town hall, painted in red and gold, to state-of-the-art works of architecture along the Rhine – by internationally acclaimed architects like Frank Gehry and Yoshio Taniguchi – you’ll find that Basel is a small city that has been a crossroads of travel and thought since the 15th century. Join us onboard this evening for the captain’s farewell reception followed by a dinner. Meals BLD
