Everything was excellent. The service was top-notch. The interior was air-conditioned and the windows were really clean. Everything was very easy to understand inside, though not so much outside because of other noisy passengers. But that’s not the shipping company’s fault. It was a great experience, and they even brought an extra water bowl for the dog! The prices on board were totally reasonable—I really can’t complain. I highly recommend it.

The tour is lovely. It takes about 2 hours to cruise along the Rhine. There are plenty of seats in the outdoor area on the boat. You can bring your own food or order something from the onboard kitchen. The service is quick and friendly. Tip: when it’s hot, it’s nice to sit inside by the open window and turn your seat toward the railing :)—it’s cool and cozy.

What we especially loved about the boat tour was the relaxed atmosphere and the beautiful views. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the entire trip was exceptionally well-organized. We were able to truly enjoy our time on board and just unwind. A wonderful experience that we highly recommend!

Boat wasn't overly crowded. The information provided about the sights we were seeing were informative. There was a good selection of refreshments available. My only issue is that it is cash only onboard, which limited my ability to enjoy the refreshments on offer.

It was very cozy on board, the service was great, the wine was delicious, and the view was beautiful. I would have loved to just keep going 🥰

Pair two Koblenz's experiences with one combo — a cable car ride above the Rhine and Moselle, plus a 2-hour boat cruise through the UNESCO-listed Middle Rhine Valley.

Ride the Koblenz Cable Car in panoramic cabins across both rivers, with barrier-free access throughout. The round-trip gives you sweeping aerial views of the Rhine, the Moselle, and the rooftops of Koblenz below.

Next, spend 2 hours sailing through the Middle Rhine Valley, one of Germany's most celebrated UNESCO World Heritage stretches.

Pass castles, riverside villages, and centuries-old palaces as the landscape unfolds slowly from the water, then watch the Rhine and Moselle rivers converge at the Deutsches Eck.
