Cruise from Utrecht in the Netherlands into the heart of Germany along Europe’s most famous river, the Rhine.
Explore Cochem, your first port arrival. This pretty German town is perched in a beautiful setting on the edge of the Moselle River and surrounded by hills covered entirely in vineyards. Cochem’s crowning glory is the neo-Gothic Reichsburg Castle with an 11th-century keep and later 19th-century additions. Visitors can enjoy the baroque Town Hall, charming narrow streets, and a traditional market square.

There are also fascinating underground cellars to explore. Enjoy an evening wine tasting on board the ship and savour local vintages.
Enjoy the picturesque riverside views as the Moselle meanders through wooded valleys, vineyards, and charming villages. In Schweich, guests have the option to take a guided excursion to Trier near the Luxembourg border. Originally a Roman city, there are several well-preserved Roman structures, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Porta Nigra gate, the ruined Roman baths, an amphitheater, and a bridge over the Moselle River.
Discover the stunning medieval architecture of the historic market square in Bernkastel-Kues, the ‘International City of Wine and Vine’ which straddles the Moselle River split into two parts by the water. Bernkastel-Kues is historic with a rich and fascinating heritage. Explore through the vineyards above the town and the ruins of Landshut Castle.
Koblenz means ‘merging of the rivers,’ and this German town sits on the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle and is a former Roman military post with strategic importance. At the point the rivers meet, there is a magnificent equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I. Above the town is the imposing Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, built by the Prussians in 1816.
Disembark the Spirit of the Rhine and spend the day exploring Frankfurt, home to the largest city forest in Germany and 17 out of 18 of Germany’s skyscrapers.
