Basel is a popular embarkation point for cruises on the Rhine. From May to mid-October, Basler Personenschiffahrt, Schifflände (tel. 061/639-95-00; www.baslerpersonenschifffahrt.ch), conducts cruises to Rheinfelden. Ships leave Monday to Saturday at 1:45pm and on Sunday at 9:15am. A one-way ticket costs 35F, or 58F round-trip; children travel for half-price.
