Cologne
DAY 1
28 Nov 2026
Time at Port: TBD
A charming, inspiring German city sitting on the Rhine river, Cologne is a culture-rich cruise destination boasting an inviting, lively atmosphere, a host of modern attractions and activities, impressive historic landmarks, and a culinary experience you’ll want to spend some time savouring. If you’re looking to take a trip ashore with some medieval flair, Cologne’s remarkable Old Town is bound to charm you with its winding cobblestone streets, picturesque squares tucked away from the hustle and bustle, and abundance of authentic cafes, restaurants, bars, and breweries. When here, you’ll find yourself in the shadows of the breathtaking Cologne Cathedral – the tallest cathedral in the world and this city’s most iconic landmark. Don’t worry, though, you’re not going to be limited to an experience inspired by the Middle Ages when you’re in Cologne; the reformed and rebuilt Rheinauhafen district is a highlight of the modern delights throughout the city and a focal point for state-of-the-art architecture. Once an important harbour on the river, you’ll find a variety of interesting historic structures and sites here; however, you’ll also find unique museums, stylish cafes, some of the finest restaurants in the city, and fantastic views along the Rhine. A city of contrasts, with both the historic and modern charms of Cologne equally exciting, there’s one universal truth when it comes to visiting this remarkable city: you’re going to have a fantastic time, whatever you decide to do when you’re ashore.
Things to do in Cologne:
Cologne Cathedral
A renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture, Cologne Cathedral is the tallest Cathedral in the world and Germany’s most-visited landmark by a comfortable margin. While construction on the cathedral began in 1248, the impressive structure we see today was not actually fully completed until 1880 – and it remained standing despite multiple aerial attacks during the Second World War, being an easily navigable target for Allied aircraft due to its height. Home to a variety of treasures and unique artworks, this is undoubtedly a must-visit destination in Cologne.
Basilica of St. Cunibert
The last Romanesque church built in Cologne before construction of Cologne Cathedral, the Basilica of St. Cunibert is an impressive example of this secular architecture and among the most impressive sights you can see from the Rhine as you pass through the city. Badly damaged throughout the Second World War, this structure was faithfully reconstructed and restored throughout the second half of the 20th century; however, many of the 13th century stained-glass windows still survive to this day – which is quite the feat.
Flora Botanical Garden
A historic greenspace in the heart of Cologne, the Flora Botanical Garden in the heart of Cologne is a relaxing destination to spend some time that dates back to 1863 and features an impressive orangery inspired by the Crystal Palace in London and Paris’ Jardin d’hiver – something which gives this area a unique grandeur unlike anything else in the city. Cultivating nearly 10,000 types of plants, a world of flora awaits in this picturesque part of the city.
Koblenz
DAY 2
29 Nov 2026
Time at Port: TBD
A historic city on the banks of the Rhine and Moselle, Koblenz is one of the oldest settlements in Germany and set against a dramatic backdrop of vibrant forest-covered mountains and sweeping vineyards; so, at the very least, you’ll enjoy some breathtaking views when you arrive. However, that’s far from the only thing to look forward to in this fantastic destination. At the convergence of the two rivers you’ll find the famous Deutsches Eck (German Corner), an iconic symbol of the Unification of Germany, and along their banks you’ll find countless scenic spots to sip on local wine, alleyways leading to hidden boutiques and quaint restaurants alongside a wealth of historic landmarks to explore. In the area around Koblenz, you’ll find even more impressive castles to visit, rewarding hiking routes to adventure along, and breathtaking views of the Rhineland waiting. A modern metropolis that balances traditional, authentic experiences with the comforts of contemporary life and indulgent cuisines, Koblenz is easily a highlight on any cruise through Germany and Central Europe.
Things to do in Koblenz:
Deutsches Eck
Home to an iconic monument of Kaiser Wilhelm I, the first German Emperor, Deutsches Eck is an important tribute to his role in the Unification of Germany – while also acting as a scenic riverside spot for a variety of entertaining events and festivals to take place. Standing over 120 ft tall, the statue is an impressive sight up-close. However, from the tip of Deutsche Eck, you’ll be able to get a fantastic view of Koblenz and the rivers cutting through its core; the area is a sharp point, poking out into the converging waters of the Rhine and Moselle – a ‘junction’ that takes some skill to navigate with a river cruise ship.
Ehrenbreitstein Fortress
Built over an earlier fortress that was destroyed by the French in 1801, Ehrenbreitstein Fortress was constructed as a backbone for the regional defensive fortifications over the following three decades. Ironically, despite being built in a hotspot for French invasions over the previous centuries, it was never actually attacked. Now, part of an UNESCO World Heritage Site, the fortress houses several museums – including those exploring photography, archaeology, and regional wine-making.
Stolzenfels Castle
Once a ruined 13th century castle, which was gifted to Prussian crown prince Frederick William in 1823, Stolzenfels Castle is an impressive 19th century palace featuring Gothic Revival architecture that fosters a romantic grandeur both inside and out. A few miles from Koblenz, this palatial castle complex stands out against the vibrant green woodland with cream-coloured walls – looking as though it was plucked from a storybook. Surrounded by scenic hiking routes, this is one place worth taking the time to visit when in Koblenz.
Wine Tasting and Winery Tours
Wine and Koblenz go hand-in-hand and this city’s history with the grape-made beverage goes all the way back to the Romans, who brought their vines to the Rhineland over 2,000 years ago. On the steep slopes either side of both the Rhine and the Moselle river, vineyards soak up the sunshine to deliver local winemakers full-bodied grapes – of which, they then make excellent wines through traditional methods. If you’re looking for somewhere to sample some local wines, Koblenz is home to plenty of places to do just that. The Moselle is also home to the largest steep slope vineyard in the world, with the region famous for a fruity Riesling – something that accounts for over 60% of the wine produced in the region.

Kehl, Germany
DAY 4
01 Dec 2026
Time at Port: TBD
Sitting just across the Rhine from the French city of Strasbourg, Kehl is a charming German town boasting modern amenities, plenty of idyllic places to take a stroll, and more than enough authentic cafes and restaurants for you to enjoy when you arrive. With fewer than 40,000 residents, Kehl will never feel busy; but, as a small city surrounded by beautiful landscapes littered with branching waterways from the Rhine, there’s still a buzz about this place. It’s something of a hidden gem along the river Rhine, and somewhere where you won’t need to worry too much about tourist traps and the pressure of ticking major landmarks off your sightseeing travel wish list. However, its location on the French-German border has afforded it a rather interesting history – it’s spent time as a French territory more than once over the centuries, with it technically being a suburb of Strasbourg as late as 1953!
Things to do in Kehl, Germany:
Rhine Promenade
If you’re looking for somewhere to stroll and soak up some sensational views of the Rhine river, the Rhine Promenade in Kehl is a great place to do it; located directly opposite Strasbourg, this scenic pathway along the river bank will afford you fantastic views of the city from afar – while also giving you the chance to appreciate the beauty of this major Central European waterway.
Weißtannenturm (Silver Fir Tower)
An iconic observation deck in Kehl’s Garden of the Two Banks, Weißtannenturm is one of the best places in the region to enjoy views of Strasbourg and the breathtaking beauty of the Black Forest. Featuring three load-bearing posts made of silver fir trunks fell in a forest in Nordrach, the platform found 199 steps up is roughly 35-metres tall. On a clear day, you’ll be able to see almost 20 kilometres!
Walking and Hiking
Kehl is a fantastic place for walking and hiking, with an abundance of scenic routes to take advantage of surrounding the town itself. Whether you want to wander along the Rhine and take in the sights of Strasbourg across the water, or venture into the edges of the Black Forest, there’s somewhere rewarding to walk for every type of traveller here.
Rudesheim
DAY 5
02 Dec 2026
Time at Port: TBD
Something of a gateway destination for those looking to explore German wine culture, and the breathtakingly beautiful Rhine Valley region, Rüdesheim is a stunning small town on the banks of the Rhine boasting a rich history of wine-making, surrounded by breathtaking vineyard-covered hillsides, and littered with interesting historic landmarks. Oh, and it has charm in abundance. Everywhere you look, there’s something exciting to enjoy, and every type of traveller will be catered for. If you want to soak up the sunshine and sample the local wines and cuisine, Drosselgasse – this town’s most famous street – is where you’ll want to visit. However, if you want to sightsee, you’ll find several cable cars taking tourists into the elevated hiking areas surrounding the town, where scenic views of the Rhine and surrounding area await. Despite its size, Rüdesheim is a bustling centre for tourism in the region; however, while that does mean it may be a little busier than the other small German towns you visit, it’s still just as charming. Rüdesheim will be one destination from your adventures through Germany and Central Europe you remember.
Things to do in Rudesheim:
Drosselgasse
A narrow cobblestone street cutting through the heart of Rüdesheim, Drosselgasse is overflowing with charming wine taverns, incredible restaurants, boutique gift shops, and more. Busy with people filtering into and in-between the half-timbered buildings here, this otherwise unassuming street promises a lively atmosphere anytime and is the perfect place to fully immerse yourself in the excitement Rüdesheim has to offer.
Niederwald Monument
Just a short distance outside of Rüdesheim itself, the Niederwald Monuments stands; built between 1871 and 1883, with the first brick being laid by Kaiser Wilhelm I, this monument is a dramatic celebration of the Unification of Germany – a process which started in 1866 and ended in 1871, just months before construction started. Towering over the Rhine Valley at 125 ft tall, the monument features the iconic Germania – a personification of a united Germany, similar to Great Britain’s Britannia – with the recovered crown and Imperial Sword. Sitting at the edge of a forest, on the crest of an elevated hill, this is one of the most picturesque spots in the area and boasts sensational views of the surrounding scenery. It’s also an important reminder of this nation’s unique history, something easily forgotten when relishing in the indulgent cuisine, wines, and beers that make Germany such a memorable destination.
Rheingau Wine Museum and Brömserburg Castle
One of the oldest fortifications along the Rhine, with sections of the castle dating back to the 11th century, Brömserburg Castle is a truly fascinating landmark in Rüdesheim. It was once a fortification for the Prince-Bishops of Mainz, then a residence for the Knights of Rüdesheim and the Brömsers – playing an active role in major regional conflicts like the Thirty Years’ War. Now, though, it’s the perfect place to learn more about the region’s military history and the Rhine Valley’s history of wine – and sampling some of the local blends, of course. From wine-making equipment dating back as far as the 16th century to antique wine glasses and more, this museum is a comprehensive exploration of every aspect of Oenology. And, from Brömserburg Castle, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the vineyard-blanketed Rhine Valley. When in Rüdesheim, this really is a must-visit destination.
