When most people think of the Moselle, they probably immediately think of a good glass of wine. However, our river cruise gives you the opportunity to get to know many other aspects of the region. The German Corner in Koblenz with the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument provides a cultural start to the trip. In preparation for the Buddha Museum in Traben-Trarbach, you can relax on board and put your feet up. You can marvel at the pinnacle of Roman architecture in Trier, including the Porta Nigra.
