Moselle Romance from Düsseldorf

About This Cruise

Vineyards, historic towns and sweeping river views reveal the distinctive charm of the Rhine and Moselle. Aboard VIVA MOMENTS, set off from Düsseldorf on a seven-night journey through landscapes rich in history. Whether you travel as spring awakens or in the height of summer, this route combines rewarding discoveries ashore with unhurried hours on the water.

In Koblenz, where the Rhine and Moselle meet, begin exploring the region's towns and traditions. Continue to Traben-Trarbach and Bernkastel, where winding lanes, historic buildings and the Moselle's wine heritage shape the atmosphere. Take time for a stroll and enjoy views of the slopes rising above the river. Trier adds another chapter to your journey, with remarkable traces of Roman times and plenty of history to discover.

In Cochem, the castle overlooking the town makes an impressive sight before a call at Treis-Karden introduces another side of the Moselle valley. Next, Rüdesheim welcomes you with its wine-town character. During the Loreley passage, the scenery takes centre stage, inviting you to settle back and enjoy the views from the ship. An overnight stay in Königswinter gives you time to appreciate this riverside destination before returning to Düsseldorf. Spend a final evening aboard before your journey ends after breakfast. Bringing together culture, river scenery and time to unwind, this cruise offers a varied escape along two of Germany's best-loved rivers.

Itinerary

Germany

Düsseldorf

The Rhineland way of life, blending tradition and modernity—Düsseldorf captivates with its diversity! Art and culture lovers are just as enthralled here as shopping enthusiasts; the Media Harbor impresses with its contemporary architecture, as does the historic Old Town. With more than 250 cozy pubs, the Old Town makes Düsseldorf the “longest bar in the world.” And it’s not just the traditional Altbier that tastes great there! Don’t miss a stroll down Königsallee, the world-famous shopping boulevard—or perhaps you’d prefer a visit to one of the many charming flea markets? And right in the middle of it all: plenty of green space and the Rhine with its riverside promenade, perfect for taking a deep breath. No wonder the VIVA family feels right at home here!

Germany

Koblenz

Koblenz captivates visitors with its unique location at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. The first stop on any visit to the city should therefore be the so-called “Deutsches Eck” with its imposing Kaiser Wilhelm Monument. Since 2002, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Upper Middle Rhine Valley.” A visit to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress offers a beautiful view of Koblenz and its two rivers. Perched 120 meters above the Rhine, this 16th-century fortification is the second-largest surviving fortress in Europe. Even the ride up in a cable car gondola is spectacular.

Germany

Traben-Trarbach

The small wine-growing town of Traben-Trarbach is situated right on the Moselle in a beautiful valley. Surrounded by numerous vineyards, it is one of the most beautiful places in the region—romantic, quaint, and modern. In addition to wine tastings and a boat ride on the Moselle, you can take a hike to Grevenburg, a ruin high up on the mountain, and the Buddha Museum should also be on your itinerary. A medieval market square graces the center of the small town, and the Brückentor gate is another of its historic landmarks.

Germany

Trier

Trier impresses with its Roman-era structures—most notably the well-preserved Porta Nigra. But the city’s churches are also worth visiting. Germany’s oldest city was founded by the Romans around 16 B.C. under Emperor Augustus. Charlemagne made the city an archbishopric. In hardly any other German city are the remnants of the Romans as abundant as they are in Trier. You can even drink them in the form of wine. The vineyards on the slopes of the Moselle and Saar valleys look back on 2,000 years of history.

Germany

Cochem

Cochem is Germany’s smallest county seat and is located in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Cochem lies on the Moselle River and is famous for its winegrowing. The town offers a picturesque view of the vineyards. Even from a distance, the Reichsburg Castle is clearly visible and serves as the town’s landmark. The town is popular not only with bowling clubs and families. The cobblestone-paved old town offers a pleasant stroll and invites visitors to linger by the fountain.

Germany

Rüdesheim

The picturesque town of Rüdesheim is located right on the Rhine in Hesse and boasts numerous attractions, such as the famous Drosselgasse, which is lined with wine bars, as well as a castle and a torture museum that displays medieval instruments of torture and tells the history of the Inquisition. A cable car takes you up to the Niederwald Monument, which is located above the town. From here, you can take a beautiful hike through pristine forest areas and then reach the chairlift that leads directly to Assmannshausen. This town is also located on the Rhine.

Germany

Königswinter

Located on the eastern bank of the Rhine, the city of Königswinter is in North Rhine-Westphalia. Numerous historic landmarks and museums worth seeing make a visit to the city an unforgettable experience. For example, the Siebengebirge Museum provides in-depth information about the legendary mountain landscape, which is, after all, Germany’s oldest nature reserve. At Sea Life, visitors can experience the underwater world up close, and the Nibelungenhalle is not only an architectural masterpiece but also home to a reptile zoo. Drachenburg Castle sits high atop the Drachenfels and is one of Königswinter’s landmarks. The imposing structure resembles a fairy-tale castle and offers a breathtaking view of the region.

Germany

Düsseldorf

Art and culture lovers are just as enthralled here as shopping enthusiasts; the Media Harbor impresses with its contemporary architecture, as does the historic Old Town.
