Overview

Meander down two of the prettiest rivers in Europe - the Rhine and Moselle - whose banks are lined with ancient, ruined castles and impossibly steep terraced vineyards (so many that you'll lose count!) stopping to explore historic cities and quaint, cobbled wine villages.

Following embarkation in Cologne, this cruise takes you south on the Rhine to Koblenz where we join the Moselle River, calling in the delightful town of Cochem. We also visit Trier, the oldest city in Germany, famous for its Roman amphitheatre, baths and the imposing Porta Nigra, the huge, fortified gate that formed the eastern border of the Roman Empire. After our furthest port of call, Bernkastel, we commence our cruise back downstream towards the Rhine, with time to relax and absorb the stunning scenery along the Moselle valley.

We rejoin the Rhine, visiting the old town of Koblenz which sits on the confluence of the two might rivers, and stopping enroute in Boppard - known as ‘the Pearl of the Rhine’. One of the highlights of the cruise is the hours spent cruising through the Rhine Gorge where you'll see scenic 360 views and be able to spot the famous Lorelei rock, all on the way to Rüdesheim (one of the prettiest towns in Germany, if you ask us) before heading back north to Cologne for a guided city tour.

All in all, a cruise that takes in some of the most beautiful landscapes that Germany has to offer, with plenty of interesting places to visit as you go, learning about the history of each place and sampling the local tipples - all appreciated from a most privileged vantage point of your luxurious, five-star ship.

Wine tasting

 

Enjoy a wine tasting in the Moselle valley

Duration: 1hr

Price: From €19pp (2025) payable locally

Many of the Moselle vineyards we cruise past were first planted by the Romans in the 4th century. Their continued existence proves the enduring quality of the wines, which are testament to a blend of good fortune and an indomitable human spirit. Sample a selection of these with a wine tasting, set against gorgeous wine country.

This optional experience can be done during free time in Bernkastel.

 

Visit Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Cabinet

Duration: 1hr

Embark on a fantastical adventure into the world of automatic musical instruments. Take the Winzerexpress road train through Rüdesheim to the Brömserhof. Here, see the impressive collection of fascinating musical instruments that function like computers, ranging from tiny, delicate music boxes to an enormous orchestrion.

This optional experience can be done instead of the guided tour of Rüdesheim.

 

Cochem guided tour including Reichsburg castle

Duration: 2.5hrs

Join us for a guided tour of Cochem's old town, before joining a transfer to visit Reichsburg Castle.

Perched atop a stunning crag, this fairytale castle is the largest along the Moselle River.  It can be seen from the river, its four turrets stretching into the sky above, serving as an ancient symbol of power and prestige. Although it was destroyed by the French in the Nine Years' War, it was lovingly restored by Louis Ravené, a Berlin Councillor of Commerce, who envisioned the castle as a fitting residence while constructing the Koblenz-Metz railway line. Thanks to his efforts, it still remains a well-preserved medieval castle today.

During our guided tour, you will have the opportunity to explore within its walls. Marvel at the intricately painted wall panels and carvings of the Neo-Renaissance dining room. Visit the Knight's Hall, the largest room in the castle, as well as the Trophy Room, which features a wide array of taxidermy specimens - 'trophies' from the hunt.

Optional excursion can be selected instead of the walking tour of Cochem.

Please note this excursion is only available on selected dates and numbers are limited.

 

Koblenz Cable car & Ehrenbreitstein fortress

Duration: At leisure

Take a scenic cable car over the Rhine River to the impressive Ehrenbreitstein fortress, which stands 118 meters tall on its riverbanks. Built by the Prussians to fend off the French, it's the second-largest preserved fortress in Europe, with an unparalleled view of Koblenz and the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Here, you can explore the castle's 1000-year history at leisure before returning to Koblenz by cable car.

Optional excursion can be done during free time or instead of the walking tour of Koblenz.

Please contact us at least two weeks before you’re set to depart to add any of the above experiences to your booking before departure.
