Sample the delicious wines at a wine tasting and learn all about the philosophy of the winery, as well as how the wines are made.

On your bike, you can explore one of the most beautiful stretches along the Moselle, where the Moselle flows into the Rhine in a sweeping bend. It is flanked by steep slopes, where the grapes mature for great wines. From the ship, you will cycle to Bruttig-Fankel and onwards across the river directly into the picturesque streets of Cochem. During a stop at the historic mustard mill, you will have the chance to taste some of the 'spicy gold'. Then you will continue to the late-Gothic Cochem Castle, situated on the largest castle hill, from where you can enjoy a spectacular view over the river.

The second smallest county seat in Germany is one of the most beautiful cities in the Moselle Valley. Cochem’s long history is revealed during a tour of the old town. You walk past the Capuchin monastery, the parish church of St. Martin and the town hall from the 17th century. From the bridge over the Moselle you also have a unique view of the Reichsburg, which towers above Cochem.

Trier - one of Germany’s oldest cities - is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city was founded around 16 BC by Emperor Augustus and you will find numerous architectural monuments from this period. From the ship, you will drive along the Moselle, past old Moselle cranes and monastery complexes, to the oldest bridge in Germany, the Roman Bridge. In the footsteps of the Romans, you will then explore the amphitheatre, the ruins of Barbara thermal baths, as well as the throne room of Emperor Constantine the Great. We will then pass the Palace of the Electorate from the 18th century before reaching the city's main landmark and UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Porta Nigra.

Enjoy a small tour on your bike through Mehring and its surroundings. Here the Moselle meanders through steep vineyards and the nature is simply beautiful. The best way to experience this lanscape is by bike.

In Trier you can find 8 of the 46 German UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Such a concentration is unique and there is a lot to explore in the old Roman city. If you prefer to stroll around individually, you may take the transfer bus from the berth directly to the city centre, where you will have ample time to discover the beauty of the old Roman city. After a three hour stay we will take you back to the A-ROSA cruise ship in Mehring.

Two rivers on your trip are not enough? Then come along on the beautiful panoramic drive to the famous Saar Loop. Enjoy the drive through the multifaceted nature park starting near Mehring, with its extensive woodlands, species-rich meadows, the river and stream valleys and the characteristic rock formations. As soon as you reach the viewpoint at the Saar Loop, you will realise why this is supposed to be Germany's most beautiful river loop. After a short stop and walk, your route continues through the nature park back to Trier Mehring.

Join us for a private wine tasting in the heart of the Moselle region. The Moselle region is Germany's oldest wine region and is home to the steepest vineyard in the world. After a short drive to a Roman wine press in Brauneberg, you will learn the basics about the most important grape variety on the Moselle, Riesling, from the winegrower himself during a tour of the cellar. Of course, a tasting of the wines is a must. Savour the delicately fruity, delicate wines from the region and talk with the winegrower about the terroir, steep slopes and the new challenges of winegrowing.

This tour will take you past the region’s characteristic steep vineyards, along the picturesque banks of the River Moselle and through some of the area’s most famous wine-producing towns and villages, such as Traben-Trarbach, Kröv and Bernkastel-Kues. The hanging bridge in Wehlen (district of Bernkastel) is particularly impressive.

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.

During the panoramic ride up the Moselle mountains and through idyllic Moselle villages, you will see mainly green and blue. The colours of the vineyards, the water and the sky are omnipresent. On the way, you will visit a Roman wine press. Of course, a small wine tasting in one of the wineries is not to be missed.

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.
