Cruising the Rhine & Moselle region - Europe’s best kept secret
Cruise along the magical Rhine and Moselle Rivers and explore one of Europe's true hidden gems. Be immersed in one of the world’s great wine regions and discover the birthplace of Riesling.
A journey where history, culture, and beauty flow as smoothly as the rivers themselves. Along the Rhine and Moselle, each bend reveals another story—vine-covered hillsides, half-timbered towns, and castles that watch over the water like silent guardians of the past.
From Mainz, with its grand cathedral and legacy of Gutenberg’s printing press, to the striking landscapes around Koblenz where the Rhine and Moselle meet, this voyage is steeped in character. At Schloss Johannisberg, one of Europe’s most historic wine estates, the art of Riesling comes to life with a tasting amid centuries-old cellars and sweeping valley views.
Cruising deeper into the Moselle Valley, the rhythm slows and the scenery softens. The charming towns of Bernkastel-Kues and Cochem capture the essence of romantic Germany—cobblestone streets, bustling market squares, and welcoming wine taverns offering the region’s finest vintages. And in Trier, the layers of history unfold before you, from grand Roman gates to elegant Baroque facades, each a testament to the city’s enduring spirit.
This 8-day river cruise is more than a journey through beautiful landscapes—it’s an immersion into the soul of Germany, where every glass of wine, every Castle and every riverside view tells a story destined to linger long after you’ve returned home.
