Itinerary

Day 1 Aug 30, 2027 Dusseldorf Departs 17:00 Whether you’re strolling along one of Germany’s leading luxury shopping streets, the ‘Kö’, enjoying an Altbier fresh from the tap in one of the old town’s more than 300 pubs or discovering one of the city’s many green spaces, such as the Hofgarten, on foot, Düsseldorf has almost everything you could wish for. Most of the city’s population seems to frequent the Uerige – the archetypical Düsseldorf brewery – even though the name of the establishment comes from a local word for ‘grumpy’. The Köbesse – as waiting staff are known here – are rather unfriendly, in keeping with tradition. Nevertheless, it’s always full. Go to Dusseldorf Cruises visiting Dusseldorf

Day 2 Aug 31, 2027 Koblenz 07:30 – 14:00 6.5 hrs ashore What do you get when you cross modern rationality with southern nonchalance? Koblenz. This is where you’ll find Roman history, a high-tech research hub and a buzzing cultural scene all in one place. Don’t miss the delightful Kaiserin-Augusta-Anlagen, the southern part of the Rhine promenade. It was turned into a landscaped park with artistic historical monuments and sculptures between 1856 and 1861. If you fancy a treat, try Debbekooche. Originally eaten by those who couldn’t afford goose on Saint Martin’s Day, it is now considered a regional speciality and is traditionally served with apple sauce. Delicious! Go to Koblenz Cruises visiting Koblenz

Day 3 Sep 1, 2027 Traben Trabach 04:30 – 11:30 7.0 hrs ashore The small wine town of Traben-Trarbach is located directly on the Moselle in a beautiful valley. Surrounded by numerous wine-growing areas, it is one of the most beautiful places in the area, romantic, rustic and modern. In addition to wine tastings and a boat trip on the Moselle, you can go on a hike to Grevenburg, a ruin high up on the mountain, but the Buddha Museum should also be on the itinerary. A medieval market square adorns the center of the small town and the bridge gate is one of the old relics. Go to Traben Trabach Cruises visiting Traben Trabach

Day 4 Sep 2, 2027 Trier 06:00 – 14:30 8.5 hrs ashore Trier was founded in 16 BCE by the Roman Emperor Augustus. The city can lay claim to the title of Germany’s oldest city, and it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Romans left a lasting mark on Trier, with historical buildings from that era still shaping the city’s appearance today: the amphitheatre, the Römerbrücke bridge, the Igeler Säule (Igel column), the Barbarathermen and Kaiserthermen baths, the Konstantinbasilika (Basilica of Constantine) and – of course – the city’s most famous symbol, the Porta Nigra. The name of this impressive former city gate is believed to be a reference to its weathered sandstone. Go to Trier Cruises visiting Trier

Day 5 Sep 3, 2027 Cochem 07:00 – 13:30 6.5 hrs ashore Even though it is Germany’s second-smallest district administrative centre, Cochem can look back on a long history, witnessed by its majestic Imperial Castle and the ruins of the Winneburg, each of which overlooks the town from its own small hill. Cochem is also home to the Pestkapelle (Plague Chapel) and the Kapelle zu den drei Kreuzen (Chapel of the Three Crosses). While these two places of worship are by no means huge, their understated elegance and beautiful location make them well worth a visit. Go to Cochem Cruises visiting Cochem

Day 6 Sep 4, 2027 Rudesheim 07:30 – 14:00 6.5 hrs ashore In the Upper Middle Rhine Valley – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the town of Rüdesheim marks the end of several old merchants’ routes. This strategically important point used to be protected by four castles. Picturesque Rüdesheim is known all around the world for its outstanding wines. Make sure you take a walk through the charming little streets of the old town. Drosselgasse, an alleyway with half-timbered facades, is known as ‘The World’s Longest Wine Bar‘ and is reputed to be the most-visited tourist attraction in Germany after Cologne Cathedral. Wine cultivation was already in full swing here in Roman times – learn more about the winegrowers of antiquity and their successors at the Rheingauer Weinmuseum in the Brömserburg, an old castle. And if you want to sample the wines that are being produced today, head to the rustic wine taverns in the old town. Go to Rudesheim Cruises visiting Rudesheim

Day 6 Sep 4, 2027 Konigswinter Departs 13:00 The city of Königswinter in North Rhine-Westphalia is located on the eastern bank of the Rhine. The village at the foot of the Siebengebirge has around 41,000 inhabitants. Numerous monuments and museums worth seeing make a visit to the city an unforgettable experience.

The imposing structure is reminiscent of a fairytale castle and provides a wonderful view of the region. The Hirschburg is also a historic building in this city. The historic villa is located in a quiet area in the region around the nightingale valley. A kilometer-long tunnel system called Ofenkaulen leads through the middle of the Siebengebirge. The origin of these tunnels is said to go back to the Middle Ages.
