What people love about Moselle Cruises
- Romantic Moselle River Cruise (Mainz-Mainz) - MS Crucevita 4*sup
A great tour. Good value. As advertised
- Moselle Bike & Barge
Trip was good in many ways. Would like better written instructions for self-guided ride along with potential stops to see. Guide was effective but English could be better. Felt that other guide was giving better description to other language. Boat staff and food were excellent. One big draw back was W-Fi connection. At best was weak all the time. When we tried to pay bar tab at the end, the interne connection would not allow the cards to be processed.
What our customers ask about Moselle River Cruises
Which Towns Should You Really Not Miss on Your Moselle Cruise?
Cochem's definitely a highlight with this incredible Reichsburg Castle that looks like it's straight out of a fairy tale sitting up there on the hill watching over everything. Then there's Trier which is actually Germany's oldest city if you can believe it packed with Roman ruins the Porta Nigra gate and this amazing amphitheater that really takes you back in time. Bernkastel-Kues is another must-see with its medieval marketplace and these gorgeous half-timbered houses that'll make you feel like you've stepped back in time.
Can Active Travelers Get Their Fix on a Moselle River Cruise?
Oh absolutely! Travelers really love the Moselle Bike & Barge tour that runs for 8 days starting in Koblenz.

The route takes you past stunning spots like Eltz Castle and you'll even get to explore Piesport which is actually Germany's oldest wine village.
What About Experienced Travelers Looking for the Real Deal?
