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!

Quick and easy check-in, fast and friendly service on board (please note: cash payments only on the ship). Unfortunately, the announcements were a bit hard to hear outside, but that didn’t detract from the lovely cruise up the Rhine.

The Middle Rhine Valley Castles & Palaces Boat Tour was amazing, a different and more complete way to explore the city. Beautiful landscapes and a great way to learn about the history of the city. Word of advice, take cash as they don't take credit card.
    • 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.
