Koblenz

Located in the west of Germany where the Rhine and Moselle meet, Koblenz stands out among cruise ports for its rare mix of ancient charm, cinematic scenery, and cultural immersion that unfolds within easy reach of the quay. What sets it apart is not just the scenery but the signature experiences that invite guests to step into history and landscape in a single day: a cable car ascent over the Rhine to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress for sweeping river panoramas, a stroll through the Old Town from the Church of the Holy Virgin to St Kastor Basilica, and immersive journeys into the UNESCO-listed upper Middle Rhine Valley, including Stolzenfels Castle and the Electoral Palace. The region's wine heritage—Riesling and Spätburgunder—comes alive in nearby vineyards and onshore tastings, a highlight for many itineraries. For shipboard guests, Koblenz doubles as a gateway to dramatic Rhine and Moselle voyages, with modern river fleets offering panoramic lounges, sun decks, fine dining paired with regional wines, and knowledgeable multilingual crews who curate unforgettable shore excursions. In short, Koblenz delivers a curated, destination-driven experience that blends ancient fortresses, world-class wine culture, and seamless, onboard hospitality into a single, unforgettable port of call.
