Highlights of the Rhine Cruise

City holiday with country romance.

From Cologne to Cochem, Trier-Mehring, Bernkastel-Kues, Koblenz, Nijmegen, Amsterdam (Lelystad*), Rotterdam, Harbor tour Rotterdam and Emmerich to Cologne.

Sometimes you fancy an exciting trip that takes you from city to city. Other times, you might feel like a relaxing holiday with plenty of nature. What if you want to combine the two? Then visit the Rhine. You’ll be waving goodbye to Cologne Cathedral one minute, and not long afterwards you’ll find yourself saying hello to the EYE film museum in Amsterdam’s harbour. The ship will be moored directly behind the main train station – the ideal starting point for discovering this city of canals. If you fancy experiencing its multicultural side with all your senses, be sure to sample the international cuisine for which Amsterdam is so famous. Rotterdam is a truly impressive sight, with its contemporary architecture and its enormous harbour, which receives goods from all corners of the earth. You’ll then head for Antwerp. Its glittering history as a diamond centre still permeates the city today. A short detour to Cochem will reveal the romance of the Moselle valley, and on the way back, you’ll be captivated by the castles of Bernkastel-Kues. Trier is a wonderful place to go hiking. If you’d like to see the Rhine from above again, the best way is to take the cable car in Koblenz, which sweeps you across to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. It’s the perfect place to enjoy great views across the city – and look back on an unforgettable cruise.

Fluss in Amsterdam mit A-ROSA

Rotterdam

Netherland's second largest city. The home of the continent's biggest sea port is a thriving metropolis that doesn’t scrimp on modern buildings or international flair. Over the past 20 years, a number of impressive new skyscrapers have sprung up – and there’s no sign of this trend stopping yet.

Cochem

Cochem

Even though it is Germany's second-smallest district administrative centre, Cochem can look back on a long history, witnessed by its majestic Imperial Castle and the ruins of the Winneburg, each of which overlooks the town from its own small hill. Cochem is also home to the Pestkapelle (Plague Chapel) and the Kapelle zu den drei Kreuzen (Chapel of the Three Crosses). While these two places of worship are by no means huge, their understated elegance and beautiful location make them well worth a visit.

Amsterdam

Shopping in den 9 Straatjes

The Rhine really starts to make a scene in the Middle Rhine Valley – and it's little wonder, seeing as in Koblenz, the Moselle pumps in an extra 315 m3 of water per second. And then the rocks close ranks, and the riverbed narrows by almost two-thirds. Up above, the legendary Lorelei has been impassively watching this natural drama since time immemorial.

Here is where we embark on our exciting Rhine cruise. You should definitely get to know the city of Cologne with its many monuments and attractions. The best way to do this is to arrive one day before your cruise or simply extend your stay after the cruise.

A-ROSA Sena in Köln

Cochem, on the bank of the Moselle, is another port of call on your Rhine cruise, which will take you onto the Moselle. The entire Moselle region around Cochem is a real sight to behold. The town’s landmark is undoubtedly the famous Reichsburg, a splendid castle that towers above the river. But did you know that the West German government had a secret bunker built here for its federal bank? Strange, but true! And you’ll have the opportunity to visit it during your river cruise.

Bernkastel-Kues has been blessed twice: once with fertile vineyards and once by perhaps the most unique ensemble of medieval half-timbered buildings. Especially famous for the Spitzhäuschen, which has been balancing on a foundation that appears to be much too narrow since the beginning of the 15th century. It is a true wonder that it has not fallen over yet! The Renaissance city hall, built in 1608, and the Michaela fountain in the market square are just as remarkable as the parish church of St. Michael with its more than 600-year-old tower.

Rikscha Ausflug

The breath-taking cable car ride across the Rhine and up to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress should not be missed: Behind you the roofs of Koblenz, below you the broad river and in front of you the gigantic fortress Ehrenbreitstein. This adjective is by no means an exaggeration, as you will be entering the second largest preserved fortress in Europe. Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III ordered the construction as part of an anti-French military line. Up to 6,500 craftsmen and day labourers were employed. The mighty fortress rises 118 metres above the Rhine and was once the core of the fortification around Koblenz. Together with the Deutsches Eck (German Corner), it forms the northern gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Afterwards we will walk through the old town back to the ship.

Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. Known as ‘Manhattan on the Maas’, it has a more urban, international atmosphere than anywhere else in the whole country.

With a little luck, you’ll see other cruise ships during your day in Rotterdam, since Europe’s largest maritime port is a major transport hub.

Rotterdam Markthalle von innen

Capital of the province Zuid-Holland, and the seat of the Dutch government and parliament, as well as home to the Dutch royal family - The Hague is world famous. The excursion first takes you to the Binnenhof, the impressive main square which dominates the historic city centre. This large rectangular courtyard is surrounded by stately buildings and was the starting point of urban development in the 13th century. In the 17th century, it was considered the centre of European diplomacy and today it is the seat of the Dutch Parliament. Northeast of the square there is the Royal Palace and official residence of the Queen. Behind that you will find the Vredespaleis (Palace of Peace), home to the International Court of Justice. Then continue to Delft, famous for the porcelain Delfts Blauw and for its painter Johannes Vermeer. Here you have time for a leisurely walk along the canals, churches, mansions and beautiful courtyards.

The Hague and Delft

Thanks to Europe's largest seaport, Rotterdam is not only a hub for important transport routes. The city is also one of the cultural centres of the Netherlands - with a university, universities of applied sciences, music academy and art academy. The best way to discover this diversity is on a cycle tour. You cycle past the old clinker brick houses of the suburbs and charming Wilhelminian style houses, to the world-famous cube houses and through the park ‘De Kralingse Bos’ with its popular lake. The modern architecture of the new city is also impressive. The programme includes the gigantic Erasmus Bridge, the Kunsthalle, the tunnel under the Maas and the Schouwburgplein.

Mit dem Fahrrad durch Rotterdam

While it’s true that Rotterdam can look back on a long history, the city gives an outward impression of being refreshingly modern. Rotterdam is the Netherlands’ main centre of architecture – over the last 20 years an impressive collection of skyscrapers has transformed its skyline. The 46-metre-high Witte Huis was the first skyscraper in Europe, and there’s no denying that the city’s famous Cube Houses are unique too. Of course, during your visit you’ll also see the extraordinary market hall building, which is shaped like a giant aircraft hangar. The interior of the market hall boasts an 11,000-square-metre artwork made up of panels decorated with images of fruit and vegetables. Another thing that makes the building unique is that, as well as housing a market, shops, eateries and a car park, it also has residential units.
