Basel (aka Basle) is a Rhine River cruise port and city in Switzerland, with a population of around 200,000 (ranking it Switzerland's 3rd most - after Geneva and Zurich). Basel is also the country's only cargo port serving ocean-going cargo ships docking at Rotterdam . The city is located near three country borders (French, German and Swiss). Some of its suburbs are on the territories of Germany and France. The official language is German.

On shore excursions/roundtrip bus tours from Basel can be visited Alpnachstad (from where via the mountain railroad Pilatus Railway is accessed the Pilatus Mountain) and also Berne, Interlaken, Lucerne, Kriens. Cruisetours may also include bus excursions to Kembs (France's Alsace region, Haut-Rhin department). Bus tours from Zurich visit Bienne, Neuchatel, Geneva, Gruyeres, Broc, Charmey, Gstaad, Grindelwald (train travel to Jungfraujoch).

Some cruisetours have their itinerary's first leg ending in Austria ( Salzburg ) from where tourists are transported by luxury coaches to Switzerland (St Moritz via Innsbruck). The buses then leave from St Moritz to Basel, visiting Chur (train travel to Tasch and Zermatt), Chateau de Chillon, Berne, Interlaken, Lucerne, and end in Basel (ship embarkation port for the itinerary's second leg).

Basel Switzerland is also the flag-state (port of registry) for many European river cruise ships. All major European river cruise companies offer voyages to and from Basel. Most itineraries are between Basel and Amsterdam (northbound and southbound). As a riverport for Zurich, Basel is the embarkation-debarkation point. The distance between both cities is approx 76 km (48 mi). The train travel time is 1 hour.

Zurich is located on Lake Zurich (Limmat River). Most cruise tours are from Zurich to Vienna Austria and include passing the Main-Danube Canal. Itineraries start in Zurich, with included travel to Basel for boarding the riverboat. Zurich is Switzerland's largest city (population over 400,000, metro around 2 million) and is located at the lake's northwestern tip. Zurich is among the world's largest financial centers being home to major financial institutions and banks.

From Basel are also offered bus tours to Schaffhausen.

Viking Pre-Cruise days in Basel on our own, some questions

By summerclouds , November 19, 2021 in River Cruising

Recommended Posts

Hello, Everyone,

My husband and I are booked for Basel to Amsterdam with Viking for Sept. 11 – 18, 2022.     Done 2 ocean cruises with Holland America, but this is our 1 st   river cruise and 1 st   Viking experience.     We are really excited for this.

  We are planning to come into Basel a few days early using the Viking Air service (have paid for custom air and for deviation) and are debating     whether     to use Viking’s     pre-extension for Basel or do it ourselves.    We feel quite comfortable booking our own hotel, getting from airport to hotel, and exploring on our own.       We’ve been told by our travel agent that if we don’t do the Viking pre-extension, Viking won’t sell us stand-alone transfers.     This has me concerned in two areas:

1.            I understand that there are several possible embarkation docks in Basel and that sometimes the ship doesn’t learn its actual location until the day of embarkation.     How will we know where to go and how will we learn of any last minute changes if we are doing Basel on our own?

2.          Once we reach the embarkation dock, will Viking take our luggage from us and get it on the ship and to our cabin, or will we be responsible for getting it onboard since we don’t have their transfer service?     We are 71 and 75 and while pretty healthy overall, I have some not so pretty pictures in my mind of us having to haul our luggage up gangplanks or ladders and possibly     through several ships if we are rafted and our ship is not the 1st ship in the rafting. 

Thanks so much!

Hi Summerclouds,

We've never done a Viking river cruise but have done four with Uniworld.  We always come in a day or two early & tour around on our own. 

If Viking works like Uniworld you'll be given the ships phone number in with your final documents.  On Embarkation day we ask the front desk at our hotel to call the ship for us & doublecheck where exactly its docked.  We then have the bellman get us a cab & he tells the cab driver where the ship is.  Having them do it cuts down on any language barrier we'd face since unfortunately English is the only language we speak. 

Upon arrival at the dock crew members are there to take all the luggage.  All you have to do is relax & start enjoying your vacation.   

As I said, this is how Uniworld does it but I'm sure Viking does things somewhat along the same lines.

Hope this helps!  

We did the Basel to Amsterdam Rhine Getaway from October 13 to October 20, 2021.  We are independent travelers, and had been moving around Europe for several months before starting the  Viking River Cruise.  We made all our own travel arrangements.  We booked a room at the Hotel Basel near the Marketplatz.  The Hotel Basel is an excellent, centrally located hotel.    Basel is an interesting city, and very convenient to get around, since a tram pass is included in your hotel stay.  We had a great three days before starting our cruise.

Viking has a dedicated dock, but we called the ship's number on our morning of departure to verify the dock.  Our hotel called a taxi for us, and he took us directly to dock.  Viking staff met us on the street in front of the dock.  There were crew who took our bags and delivered them to our cabin.  We never touched our bags after leaving the hotel until we were in our cabin.  

Thanks for the replies and information.  I think we'll be able to do this!

We did a Viking river cruise from Basel, without transfers.  We emailed the ship the morning that we were supposed to board and they told us what specific dock they would be at.

When you are in Basel it is easy to do day trips to other locations such as Lucerne.  Trains are easy to use and very reliable.

Basel isn't the biggest city so finding your way around is pretty easy.  We stayed at Hotel Spalentor and its was great.  Walkable to most sights.  Certainly worthy of a day or two.

I think that Viking and Crystal (which we took) dock in the same area, just across from each other.  Too far of a walk but easy by cab.  BTW- cabs are expensive
