White river landscapes, silent drifting on the water, and you yourself enjoying a hot tea on deck wrapped in a warm blanket - our winter cruises have their very own magic. On this 4-night cruise on the Moselle and Rhine, we take you to probably the most beautiful river valleys in Germany. We set off from Frankfurt am Main, the city with probably the most impressive skyline in Germany. Before we set sail, however, you should definitely experience the very special view from the viewing platform of the MAIN TOWER and the historical sights in Frankfurt.
The first stop on your cruise is the picturesque town of Rüdesheim, which has many tourist highlights to offer with its numerous sights, such as the famous Drosselgasse. Continue along the Rhine towards Coblenz. Enjoy the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle at the “German Corner”, including the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument and the imposing Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, which towers 120 meters above the Rhine. After our departure, we turn into the Moselle, where we dock in Germany's smallest town, Cochem, on the third day. From the town's high landmark, the Reichsburg, we can marvel at the famous vineyards. Finally, the Mainz Cathedral takes us back to Roman times before we head back to Frankfurt.

Frankfurt
Connected to the Danube via the Main-Danube Canal, Frankfurt is one of the most unique cities in Germany. After all, it is the only city with a skyline of skyscrapers. A view of the metropolis from the observation deck of the MAIN TOWER is a very special experience. However, Frankfurt is not only a very modern and busy city, but also has a lot of history to offer its visitors. For example, the Römer and the Paulskirche are among the most famous historical sights in Germany. And when it comes to art and culture, Frankfurt is also an absolute hotspot. With almost 40 museums and exhibition houses, the Frankfurt Museumsufer is one of the most important international museum locations..
Rüdesheim
The picturesque town of Rüdesheim is located directly on the Rhine in Hesse and has many attractions, such as the famous Drosselgasse, where there are numerous wine bars, but also a castle and a torture museum, where medieval torture instruments and the history of the Inquisition are exhibited. A cable car goes up to the Niederwald Monument, which is located above the town. From here you can take a beautiful hike through pristine woodlands and then come to the chairlift that leads directly to Assmannshausen. This is also located on the Rhine.
Coblenz
Koblenz already impresses with its unique location at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. The first port of call when visiting the city should therefore also be the so-called "German Corner" with its imposing Kaiser Wilhelm monument. Since 2002, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Upper Middle Rhine Valley". A beautiful view of Koblenz and its two rivers opens up during a visit to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Perched 120 meters above the Rhine, the 16th-century fortification is the second largest fortress still standing in Europe. Spectacular is already the ascent in a gondola of the cable car..
Cochem
Cochem is the smallest county seat in Germany and is located in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Cochem is located on the Moselle River and is famous for its wine growing. The city allows a picturesque view of the vineyards. Even from a distance, the Reichsburg Castle can be easily seen, which acts as the town's landmark. The town is popular not only with bowling clubs and families. The cobblestone-paved old town offers a leisurely stroll and invites you to linger at the fountain.
Mainz
The capital of Rhineland-Palatinate Mainz is located directly on the Rhine. St. Martin's Cathedral, which is well worth seeing, is one of the special sights, as are numerous monuments and fountains. Spacious parks and green spaces invite you to take contemplative walks. A visit to the Electoral Palace should not be missed. Historic buildings bear witness to an eventful history, from the beginnings in Roman times 2000 years ago to the present day modernity. The Haus zum Stein in the city center is the oldest preserved Mainz residential building from the Middle Ages.
