Cruises on the Mosel River (or Moselle in France) will show you some of Europe's oldest and most enchanting cities. They're often combined with sailings of the Rhine. Your boat drifts past centuries-old castles, lush vineyards and quaint medieval villages in Germany, Luxembourg and France.
Many Mosel River cruises visit Trier, Germany's oldest city founded in 16 B.C. It has a rich Roman past, as well as Gothic and Renaissance monuments. Visit Reichsburg Castle, situated on a steep hill overlooking Cochem, and travel to Zell to sample its famous Riesling wines, most notably the Zeller Schwarze Katz variety. To the south, Bernkastel boasts 500 years of winemaking history, as well as a picturesque market square surrounded by half-timbered homes.
For the land portion of these itineraries, river cruise operators negotiate low group rates on hotels and pass the savings on to guests. The trips are hassle-free and easy to budget. Plus, local guides with years of experience help you make the most of your time in each stop, showing you more sights than you could possibly find on your own.
