Rhine, Main & Moselle Rivers The legendary rivers A mighty river by anyone’s standards, the Rhine flows through six countries and has served as a link between the north and south of Europe since the Romans. The Main River is considered one of its major tributaries, while the ‘romantic’ Moselle meets it in Koblenz.
Starting its life in the Swiss Alps, this exceptional waterway has long functioned as a border between the fairytale-like landscapes of western Germany and France’s Alsace. It meanders through steep vine-clad hillsides, past age-old castles and medieval towns, until it reaches the Netherlands, ending its journey in the North Sea. Reaching over 760 miles, this magical river picks up a number of major cities along the way. Quirky and enigmatic Amsterdam is the first stop on many of our Rhine, Main and Moselle river cruise itineraries, while Basel, Strasbourg and Cologne, all call its banks home. Once trading posts, they have since flourished into the major cities they are today. You’ll experience fascinating sights as you sail through the ‘heart of Europe’ where rich history, inimitable landscapes and proud cultures have thrived for years, and will do so for many more. 64
