It was a wonderful trip with great weather. Even though I had booked for 3:00 PM, I was allowed to join the 2:15 PM trip. Thank you 😀

A very nice and relaxing boat trip on the Rhine! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Departure and return were right on time. The commentary and information were provided in both German and English. Overall a pleasant experience that I can definitely recommend!

Everything was okay, the boat tour was nice too, but they could have explained more and there really aren't that many castles to see. But for relaxing, it was perfect.

Today (9 Sept 2026), we intentionally drove to Koblenz an hour early. (I bought the tickets online beforehand.) We parked and went to look for the boat. There were many boats and we searched and walked (I struggle to walk with a rollator!) and we searched and walked... we asked people... but no one had the right answer. In the end, we couldn't find the boat! There were no signs or directions anywhere!! What a disaster! So poorly organized! Our money is gone: we paid for nothing!! Such a shame!! Really very unfortunate and a waste of money!! The Kroon family (from the Netherlands)

The important part for my wife and I was the ease of booking and boarding the cruise down the Rhine. The commentary in English was very clear enabling us to understand the history and landmarks.

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.
