Spend Christmas Eve in Speyer!
The festive river cruise begins in Düsseldorf, where Christmas lights adorn the Königsallee and old town. Sailing south along the Rhine, the ship reaches Andernach, a town of medieval walls and the famous cold-water geyser. Winter landscapes of vineyards and forests create a serene backdrop.
In Koblenz, where Rhine and Moselle meet, the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress overlooks a city glowing with Christmas markets. The Moselle leads to Cochem, crowned by the fairy-tale Reichsburg Castle and half-timbered houses strung with festive lights.
