TUNESDAY ON THE RHINE

There are many reasons to enjoy an evening cruise – but only one to celebrate on Tuesday on the Rhine: The Tunesday is here!

Let Tuesday evening wind down relaxed with a cozy afterwork Cruise on the evening trips on the Rhine. Whether dancing to the best tunes since the 80’s or simply leaning back and enjoying the sunset – you decide the vibe.

Our DJ provides nostalgic sounds and danceable grooves. And only on Tunesday on the menu: juicy Burgers, with a veggie variant from Jenzer and the popular Regio-Cheeseburger with Allschwiler cheese from Milchhüsli in both Basels.
