Discover the historic cities of Cologne, Trier and Koblenz, as well as charming medieval towns in the beautiful Moselle valley on this picturesque six-day cruise
Made famous by the delicious wines produced on their sloping
green sides, the Rhine and Moselle valleys in Germany are one of
its most gorgeous regions. The river has been an important trading
route for centuries, and so the cities along it, including mighty
Cologne and ancient Trier, are full of fascinating history and
inspirational architecture.
The sunny climate and fertile land here has produced beautiful
landscapes of forests and vineyards, and the area has been making
wine for over 2,000 years, with the Rhine's flowery Rieslings
considered some of the finest white wines in Europe.
On this idyllic six-day river cruise you'll start and end in
Cologne, with its lovely old town and stunning cathedral that's
