In the morning, your ship departs from Remagen and cruises upstream along the Rhine towards Koblenz. At around 1 p.m., you arrive in the city where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet.

Koblenz is ideal for exploring on foot with your four-legged friend.

A visit to the historic Old Town with its narrow lanes and charming squares is also worthwhile.

In the early evening, your ship departs from Koblenz and enters the Moselle. The steep vineyards typical of the region soon come into view. At around 8 p.m., you arrive in Winningen.

As your ship remains in Cochem overnight, you have plenty of time to explore this popular Moselle town at your leisure.

In the morning, it is time to say goodbye to Cochem. Your ship follows the many bends of the Moselle and arrives in Zell at around 2 p.m. This renowned wine-growing town is idyllically situated on one of the Moselle’s most beautiful bends and is particularly famous for the “Zeller Schwarze Katz” vineyard.

The morning is yours to explore Bernkastel-Kues. Its historic Old Town, with beautifully restored half-timbered houses, is considered one of the most picturesque along the Moselle.

In the early evening, the ship returns to Zell, arriving at around 8:30 p.m. Here you spend the night.

Your ship departs from Zell early in the morning. Once again, you can admire the varied Moselle landscape with its vineyards, castles and small towns from the water.

At around noon, your ship departs from Alken and says goodbye to the Moselle. The journey leads back towards the Rhine, where you arrive in Andernach in the afternoon.

The Rhine promenade offers plenty of space for a relaxing walk with your dog. Here, you can enjoy a leisurely final evening of your cruise.
