Day 1: Koblenz | Embark

Guests are met in either Frankfurt or Koblenz and transferred to the hotel barge moored in the heart of Koblenz for a champagne welcome. You will take a late afternoon cruise to Winningen, one of the oldest and largest wine-growing villages in the area, where you will moor for the night and you’ll experience your first gourmet meal on board.

Day 2: Cochem

A morning cruise guides you through the lowest part of the Mosel River up to the charming town of Cochem. After lunch you will drive to the castle of Burg Eltz, also called the “Queen of the German Castles” as it is one of the few that were not destroyed by the French King Louis XIV in 1689. A guided tour takes you through this fascinating 12th-century castle. You will then return to the barge with time to stroll through this delightful little village. 

Day 3: Zell

After breakfast, you will take a leisurely cruise past numerous vineyards in beautiful scenery to Zell. This is one of the most beautiful towns on the Mosel and is famous for its wines. Visit the cellars of Dr. Josef Weiss, just outside of town for your first wine tasting.

You will cruise up this very picturesque part of the Mosel to Bernkastel, another famous wine village. Here you’ll find the “crème de la crème” of Mosel wines.
