Organized Tours

Basel is a popular embarkation point for cruises on the Rhine. In summer (May-Oct), Basler Personenschiffahrt, Blumenrain 2 (tel. 061/639-95-00), conducts cruises to Rheinfelden. Ships leave May to mid-October, Monday to Saturday at 1:45pm and on Sunday at 9:15am. A one-way ticket costs 26F ($21/£11), or 49F ($40/£21) round-trip; children travel for half price. Evening cruises are often conducted, costing 50F to 75F ($41-$62/£21-£32), depending on the cruise. The theme of the night cruise changes daily -- a fondue cruise, a captain's dinner, a Gypsy evening. Check with the tourist office or with Basler Personenschiffahrt for last-minute changes in these schedules.
