  • Day 2 - Cochem to Trier

    This afternoon, we arrive in charming Cochem. Located on the banks of the Moselle River, Cochem is dominated by the Reichsburg Castle, which is over 1,000 years old and was restored in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style.

  • Day 4 - Trier to Bernkastel-Kues

    We set sail for Bernkastel-Kues this morning, arriving later this afternoon. Bernkastel-Kues is a quintessential medieval German town, featuring a delightful market square, quaint cafés, and streets lined with half-timbered houses – the most famous of which is the narrow Spitzhäuschen, or ‘Pointed House’.

    This afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity to sample some of the region’s finest wines on an optional wine tasting excursion.

    Meals - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Day 5 - Bernkastel-Kues to Traben-Trarbach to Beilstein

    We set sail for Traben-Trarbach this morning, arriving around lunchtime. At the turn of the twentieth century, the town of Traben-Trarbach found itself at the heart of the world wine trade. This small city was once the Moselle Valley’s only town, and it was also one of the world’s most important producers of wine in the early 1900s. As the demand for wine cellars increased, the town came up with a genius solution – building huge cellars underneath the town.

    On our optional excursion, you can head below the streets for a subterranean experience. You’ll venture down into one of the vaults for a guided tour and, of course, a glass of wine! We set sail this evening for Beilstein.

    Meals - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Day 6 - Beilstein to Koblenz

    The small village of Beilstein is located directly on the banks of the Moselle and is nicknamed the ‘Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle’ due to its very well-preserved historic town centre. You’ll have free time this morning to explore at leisure before we set sail for Koblenz, arriving later this evening.

    Meals - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Day 7 - Koblenz to Cologne

    The historic city of Koblenz is one of the oldest, most beautiful and most diverse cities in Germany. This morning you can join our optional excursion to explore the pristine Sayn Palace with its tranquil butterfly garden. We return to the ship for lunch on board onward sailing to Cologne, arriving early evening. This beautiful city is the largest on the Rhine and is dominated by its cathedral, a gothic masterpiece which hovers above the rooftops. We enjoy our final dinner and a relaxing evening onboard.
