RHINE AND MOSELLE HIGHLIGHTS CRUISE SUMMARY
Feel history come alive on the banks of the Rhine and Moselle as you cruise by Loreley Rock, where legend has it a mermaid seduced sailors with her songs. Follow the meandering Moselle to the steep, vine-covered slopes surrounding the village of Traben-Trarbach. The historic town of Cochem and the imposing Ehrenbreitstein Fortress are also available to tour – and in Mainz you’ll be able to see the mighty Cathedral. Strasbourg is your gateway to Alsace, a land steeped in history.
