About
Basler Personenschifffahrt runs passenger ships on the Rhine from the Schifflände landing stage in the old town. The Panorama Sightseeing Cruise passes the cathedral, the Roche towers and the Tinguely Museum, then heads into the Rhine port, where cranes load goods onto freighters.
The longer Rhine Panorama & Locks Cruise travels upriver to Rheinfelden, passing through the locks at Birsfelden and Augst on the way.
