About to arrive into our dock at Koblenz.
Our stop in Koblenz included a guided coach tour up along the Moselle riverside to the town of Cochem. The scenery included hundreds of terraced vineyards straddling the mountains.
The 11-night Amsterdam to Basel cruise includes a cruise on the Moselle River.
Germany’s highest Autobahn crosses the Moselle not far from Koblenz.
One of the quaint towns on the Moselle, with a fortress overlooking the region.

Cochem Castle’s well.
Emerald Waterways passengers also enjoyed a casual guided walking tour through the alleys of historic Cochem.
It seemed such a waste to come this far and not sample the Cochem Apple Teacake!
