Visit to famous Cologne Cathedral

In the morning, discover the highlights of Cologne on the guided city tour. End with a glass of typical Kölsch, a famed Rhineland beer. After lunch, nature enthusiasts may wish to partake in the excursion to the Siebengebirge National Park, Germany's first nature reserve, and Drachenfels castle ruins. With the Rhine sprawling below in all its splendor, the views from the top of the castle ruins are stunning. After an exciting day, return to the vessel to continue south along the river.

Sailing past Castles and Lorelei Rock along the Rhine Gorge

The morning starts on a high note with the passage of the Lorelei in the myth-enshrouded Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
