Day 1: Koblenz | Embark

Guests are met in Frankfurt or Koblenz and transferred to the hotel barge, moored centrally in Koblenz, where a champagne reception awaits. In the late afternoon, cruise to Winningen—one of the region’s oldest and most prominent wine-producing villages—where you moor overnight. The day concludes with your first gourmet dinner on board.

Day 2: Koblenz to Cochem

This morning’s cruise carries you along the lower Mosel River to the picturesque town of Cochem. Following lunch, travel to Burg Eltz—known as the “Queen of German Castles”—one of the few castles to have survived the destruction ordered by King Louis XIV in 1689. A guided tour offers insight into this remarkably preserved 12th-century fortress. Return to the barge with time to explore the charming village of Cochem before dinner is served on board.

Day 3: Cochem to Zell

Day 4: Zell to Berkastel

Cruise up this very picturesque part of the Mosel to Bernkastel, another famous wine village. Here, you can find the “crème de la crème” of Mosel wines. In the afternoon, visit the private cellars of Pauli Bergweiler for a sampling of his superb wines. Finish your day with a stroll around the village of Bernkastel before dinner on board.

Day 5: Berkastel to Trier

This morning, cruise to the oldest town in Germany, Trier. Trier will take you back to the old Roman times from hundreds of years before Christ. Visit the Porta Nigra, part of the old town wall and the magnificent St. Peters Cathedral, or stroll the old town to browse the shops.  Dinner on board.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
