Comfortable cabins, culinary delights and high-quality service await you on board - a perfect combination of relaxation and river adventure.
The cathedral city is located directly on the beautiful Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia and, with its culinary and cultural heritage, is one of the most important tourist destinations in Europe. Even from a distance, the important landmark and the most famous architectural monument, the Cologne Cathedral, catch the eye. On almost every street corner, you will discover traces that remind you of the city's more than 2000-year history and experience the Cologne lifestyle up close. A fascinating sight is offered on and from the Hohenzollern Bridge with the thousands and thousands of “love locks”.
Treis (right of the Moselle) and Karden (left of the Moselle) form a double community and at the intersection of old trade routes. Many historical buildings and sights testify the history of this charming place with its unmissable parish church St. Castor - also called "Moseldom" - and its mighty towers back to the Celtic and the Roman times. Treis-Karden invites you to take leisurely walks past original country inns, beautiful vantage points and typical half-timbered as well as quarry stone houses.
The city of Trier - also known as the “second Rome” - looks back on over 2000 years of history and is considered the oldest city in Germany. Numerous Roman buildings along the Middle Moselle have been preserved to this day and are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: such as the amphitheater, the thermal baths, the Roman bridge, the Constantine basilica and the Porta Nigra. The cathedral and the Church of Our Lady are also included. Depending on where we are able to dock, you can reach Trier directly or conveniently from our landing stage in Schweich - a picturesque wine village with a view of the Moselle and an ideal starting point for an excursion to Roman Trier.
The romantic wine town of Saarburg is located in the western part of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park and on the banks of the Saar. Steep slopes, deep valleys and vineyards characterize the image of the region known for Saar wine. Saarburg Castle towers above the town with a magnificent panoramic view. Particularly worth seeing: the old town with its butter market, bridges and the 20-metre-high waterfall. Depending on where you moor, you can reach Saarburg directly or the picturesque village of Mettlach, known for Villeroy & Boch (porcelian), the baroque abbey, regional wines and picturesque riverside paths.
The idyllic wine village of Zell an der Mosel is situated between rolling vineyards in Rhineland-Palatinate and captivates visitors with its romantic charm. The town is best known for its famous vineyard, “Zeller Schwarze Katz,” which attracts wine lovers from all over the world. The historic old town, with its half-timbered houses, narrow alleys, and welcoming squares, is perfect for a leisurely stroll. Along the Moselle riverside promenade, visitors can enjoy magnificent views of the river and the surrounding landscape. Numerous wine taverns and cafés offer delightful moments in a typical Moselle atmosphere.
Embedded in the romantic river landscape of the Moselle valley lies the small town of Cochem with its traditional history from the Roman roots, through the Middle Ages to the present day. Numerous well-preserved remains of the city wall as well as city gates bear witness to the lively past, the market square with the town hall is a real eye-catcher and the winding old town invites you to take a stroll or enjoy a glass of Moselle wine. An impressive sight is the Reichsburg - it is towering on a steep mountain cone 100 meters above the Moselle.
The city at the German Corner is located at the mouth of the Moselle into the Rhine and is best known for the monumental equestrian statue of Wilhelm I, the first German emperor. As one of the oldest cities in Germany, Koblenz offers a wide variety of experiences, seemingly endless waterfront promenades and pure Rhine romanticism. A fantastic view can be enjoyed from the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, best in combination with a spectacular cable car ride over Father Rhine. With cozy squares, winding alleys and picturesque cafés, the picturesque old town invites you to linger.
