Today, we cruise upstream towards the city of Koblenz, where we join the Moselle River - a more tranquil river valley in contrast to the vibrant Rhine. We moor in Alken and then include an excursion by coach to Cochem, the 'pearl of the Moselle', a picturesque town with narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleys and restored half-timbered houses with slate roofs, overlooked by the magnificent Reichsburg Castle. We re-join the ship in Koblenz.
Included Highlights
We cruise north from Koblenz to Cologne, where you can explore the delights of the capital of the Rhineland. Cologne is a joy to visit, with its endless shops and restaurants.
