Embarkation from 4:00pm
Step aboard and leave the everyday behind. Begin your journey with a welcome cocktail, followed by a welcome dinner, before your floating hotel casts off for the adventure ahead.
Moselle Panoramas and Cochem Castle
As morning breaks, a panorama of the Moselle unfolds: winding river bends and towering vineyards glide past your cabin window on the way to Cochem, where we dock for lunch. Discover the town on a guided walk up to the imposing Reichsburg, dramatically set on a rocky outcrop above the rooftops. Prefer wine? Visit a Cochem winery and sample the “Queen of White Wines” among sun-drenched vines or in atmospheric cellars. After dinner, the ship sets off once more, continuing your scenic Moselle journey.
Half-Timbered Charms
The picturesque town of Bernkastel-Kues greets you in the morning. Stroll across the medieval marketplace with its ornate half-timbered houses and enjoy a local wine tasting. In the afternoon, relax on board and let yourself be pampered as the ship glides toward Saarburg. By evening, the Moselle gives way to the Saar as we arrive for the night.
The Majestic Saar Loop
Today promises both adventure and beauty. Begin with a stroll past Saarburg's Leukbach Waterfall at the Butter Market, then explore the colorful old town, St. Laurentius Church, and the historic castle complex. For active travelers, the Panorama Walk offers gentle hills, vineyard views, and new perspectives on the town. In the afternoon, the Saar Loop delivers unforgettable scenery: the river traces a 10 km detour through Hunsrück quartzite, curving 180° in a spectacular natural amphitheater, a sight that will linger in your memory as we dock in Saarlouis.
Panoramic passage of the Great Bend
Take a morning tour of Saarlouis, a fortress town founded by Louis XIV himself. Sample the renowned Saarland chocolate, a sweet complement to the French-inspired architecture. Before lunch, the ship heads downstream along the Saar toward Luxembourg, offering yet another picture-perfect riverside panorama. By late evening, we arrive in Grevenmacher on the Luxembourg Moselle.
Luxembourg, Trier & Gala Dinner
“Moien!” greets the charming Moselle town of Grevenmacher, where vineyards stretch almost to your fingertips. Explore the town on a guided walk and immerse yourself in its winemaking traditions. Prefer a more cosmopolitan experience? Join an excursion to Luxembourg City, where the pulse of Europe meets centuries of history—from the Grand Ducal Palace to fortress remnants. In the afternoon, continue to Trier, Germany's oldest city, and stroll through time as you visit the Porta Nigra, the Dreikönigshaus, and the Liebfrauenkirche.
Koblenz – Wine, Bubbles & City Charm
Float downstream in the morning and arrive in enchanting Koblenz by afternoon. Wander through the old town's streets, uncovering fascinating stories along the way. The highlight is the “Koblenz – Wine and Bubbles Tour” excursion: at the former Deinhard Stammhaus Sekt Museum, taste exquisite wines, learn about the champagne method, and enjoy a glass of sparkling Sekt. The day concludes in style with a festive gala dinner on board.
Disembarkation after breakfast
After breakfast, bid your ship goodbye and carry with you memories of riverside vistas, historic towns, and gourmet discoveries. As the locals say: “Niemals jeht man so janz…” — no one ever leaves completely.
