7 nights onboard MS George Eliot

Rhine and Moselle River Cruise - MS George Eliot

Meander down two of the prettiest rivers in Europe - the Rhine and Moselle - whose banks are lined with ancient, ruined castles and impossibly steep terraced vineyards (so many that you'll lose count!) stopping to explore historic cities and quaint, cobbled wine villages. Following embarkation in Cologne, this cruise takes you south on the Rhine to Koblenz where we join the Moselle River, calling in the delightful town of Cochem. We also visit Trier, the oldest city in Germany, famous for its Roman amphitheatre, baths and the imposing Porta Nigra, the huge, fortified gate that formed the eastern border of the Roman Empire. After our furthest port of call, Bernkastel, we commence our cruise back downstream towards the Rhine, with time to relax and absorb the stunning scenery along the Moselle valley. We rejoin the Rhine, visiting the old town of Koblenz which sits on the confluence of the two might rivers, and stopping in enroute in Boppard - known as ‘the Pearl of the Rhine’. One of the highlights of the cruise is the hours spent cruising through the Rhine Gorge where you'll see scenic 360 views and be able to spot the famous Lorelei rock, all on the way to Rüdesheim (one of the prettiest towns in Germany, if you ask us) before heading back north to Cologne for a guided city tour. All in all, cruise that takes in some of the most beautiful landscapes that Germany has to offer, with plenty of interesting places to visit as you go, learning about the history of each place and sampling the local tipples - all appreciated from a most privileged vantage point of your luxurious, five-star ship.
