Sail through the Rhine Gorge, one of the most scenic stretches of river in the world, and visit two historic yet distinctly different German ports: Rüdesheim and Cologne. This 3-night Rhine Gorge and Cologne Discover River Cruise is the perfect introduction to river cruising.
The highlight of this river cruise is the voyage through the jaw-dropping Rhine Gorge, boasting dramatic natural scenery punctuated by the silent ruins of medieval castles and fortresses.
Rüdesheim captivates all its visitors with its quaint charm and narrow cobblestone streets lined with timber-framed buildings. You will also get to visit Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Cabinet or enjoy a guided walking tour. You’ll have the opportunity to sample exquisite local wines in atmospheric taverns during time at leisure; tasting the Riesling is a must, the region’s speciality.
Take a brief stop at the historic city of Koblenz on the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. In Cologne, it’s hard to miss the Gothic cathedral as it stretches skywards, a testament to centuries of architectural grandeur and spiritual significance. Beyond this iconic landmark, a rich history is waiting to be discovered in the old town and bustling markets.
This holiday is ideal for those looking to sample a Riviera river cruise and travellers who want a short break exploring some of the most spectacular sights of Germany and the Rhine, enjoying all the amenities onboard the brand new ship MS Riviera Resplendence.
