Enjoy a free morning in Bernkastel-Kues. Spread across two opposing riverbanks along the Moselle and under the watchful eye of the Landshut Castle ruins, charming Bernkastel-Kues overflows with historic streets and magnificent sites such as the legendary Spitzenhäuschen, the Renaissance-style city hall, St. Michael's Church, and the old walls that used to encircle the town.

31 December: COCHEM - KOBLENZ - RÜDESHEIM(1)
We'll spend the morning cruising to Koblenz, continuing through the idyllic scenery on the serpentine Moselle River.

Join our team for a tour of the city. Situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle Rivers, Koblenz was founded over 2,000 years ago and offers visitors a rich collection of cultural monuments and historic buildings—such as the statue of William I perched proudly on his horse. We'll return on board the ship and continue to cruise on the romantic Rhine towards Rüdesheim, arriving during the night.
