Highly recommended. Very affordable. Nice, clean boat. Air conditioning inside. Departed on time. Easy parking within walking distance. Drinks are served everywhere. Information available in German and English. Afterward, enjoy some shopping and outdoor cafes, since it’s located near the old town.

One thing I noticed right away that I liked was that we were allowed to board the ship 30 minutes before departure. The ship was clean, and the service was quick and very friendly. We sat outside under umbrellas. The audio commentary was very clear even out there during the cruise. I did occasionally miss hearing which side (right or left) the sights were on. Two hours is a good length of time and goes by quickly.

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.

The boat ride was very nice, but the selection of cakes was very limited. For one thing, there were only two kinds, and one of them was a frozen cake—and it didn't taste good. It was also very warm that day. We thought there would be ice cream on the boat. Unfortunately, we were out of luck.

The tour was great. We saw a lot, and the explanations were just right—not too much. The waitstaff are all very, very nice, and the tarte flambée is super delicious.

A very pleasant cruise on a charming ship. The food offered was excellent value for the price. The menu is small, but there's something for everyone.

The boat ride itself was okay. The service was fast, but there wasn't really much to see in terms of castles and palaces.

See Koblenz from above and cruise past castles on the Rhine, all with one convenient combo ticket.
