Highlights
Outing Highlights
Passing Through the Koblenz Lock
The cruise includes a Schleusung at Koblenz — a hands-on moment of river navigation when the boat enters and is raised or lowered in the lock, a defining operational feature of this line.
Ehrenbreitstein and the Deutsches Eck in One Sweep
From the Moselle you’ll see Koblenz’s signature sights: the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress and the Deutsches Eck where the Moselle meets the Rhine, plus the contours of the Koblenz Altstadt along the waterfront.
Terrassenmosel: Vineyard Terraces Along the Route
The line threads past the Terrassenmosel—stepped vineyard terraces that define this section of the river and give the short voyage a distinctly vinous backdrop.
