When Crystal River Cruises’ newest vessel embarks on its maiden voyage in June, passengers will be treated to experiences that showcase the elegance and history of the destinations along the Rhine and Moselle rivers itinerary.

Among the grandest of these will be a Crystal Signature Event in Amsterdam that features a complimentary exclusive concert at The Royal Concertgebouw, considered one of the world's finest concert halls.

The 19th-century neoclassical theater has hosted musical greats in every genre from classical to rock, from Strauss to Louis Armstrong to Sting, and its orchestra has been lauded as one of the best for more than a century.

Crystal Bach passengers will tour the theater’s great hall with its famous aoustics before a private performance of master works in various genres in the charming Kleine Zaal (Small Salon) or the Spiegelzaal (Mirrored Salon), two of the hall’s more intimate baroque venues.

The Classical Concert at The Royal Concertgebouw is offered on all Crystal Bach voyages, which sail between Amsterdam and Frankfurt, calling at Basel, Switzerland; Antwerp, Belgium; and Nijmegen, Netherlands; Breisach, Kehl, Speyer, Mainz, Rüdesheim, Cologne, Kolbenz and Cochem, Germany. Trips range from 10 to 14 days, with all-inclusive cruise fares starting at $3,675 per person. Early booking savings for 2018 voyages are available for bookings made by this March 31.

Crystal Bach will be the first of Crystal River Cruises’ four new luxury river yachts to launch in 2017 and 2018. This year's other vessel is Crystal Mahler, while Crystal Debussy and Crystal Ravel follow in 2018.
