After the excitement of Christmas, relax on this Twixmas break by coach and join us as we board the MS Rhine Princess and take a cruise along Germany’s most famous river. We are welcomed aboard in Andernach and then set sail upstream for Koblenz. En-route we moor in Alken, from where we travel by coach to Cochem.

The 2000-year old city is the capital of the Rhineland and features some amazing architecture, be sure to visit the Dom with its twin spires, and spend time in the Old Town where you can indulge in some local delicacies, all making for tremendous Twixmas holiday!
