Middle Rhine Valley - Vines and Lorelei
Duisburg to Duisburg
7 Night Cruise Between Duisburg, Cologne, Koblenz, Rudesheim, Mainz, Andernach and Duisburg
The A-ROSA SENA glides gently through the Middle Rhine Valley. Steep vineyards stretch along the slopes, castles watch over the river, and small villages cluster along the banks. With every bend in the river, a new view of this lush cultural landscape unfolds. In Koblenz, the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet at the Deutsches Eck. The vineyards of Rheingau escort you to Rudesheim, where you can take a seat in a wine bar and enjoy a glass of Riesling with a view of the grapevines. Mainz revels in its wine culture around the cathedral and market. Andernach, with its basalt walls and the highest cold-water geyser, is a reminder of its volcanic past. From the deck, your gaze may wonder upwards to the slate rock cliffs that tell the legend of he mysterious woman atop. Between vines, rocks and historic banks, the Middle Rhine Valley unravels, inviting you to not only see, but also feel its beauty on your Rhine River Cruise.

2027 Itinerary
DAY 1: Duisburg, Germany (Embarkation)
Like Dortmund and Bochum, Duisburg became well known as a major location for the iron and steel industries. Nowadays, this city in the Ruhr region is a scientific hub and home to high-tech companies. Situated right on the Rhine, Duisburg is also one of the world’s most important inland ports.
DAY 2: Cologne, Germany
Welcome to Cologne! The typical friendliness that you find at every turn makes visitors feel at home right away. It’s not unusual to quickly get chatting to strangers and even go for a couple of glasses of Kölsch with them. The main landmark – Cologne Cathedral – watches over the whole city. It is the third-tallest church building in the world, at 157.38 metres. It might be a bit of a trek up to the top of the tower, but it’s worth it. You’ll be rewarded with an unforgettable view of the city and the Rhine spread out before you.
DAY 3: Koblenz, Germany
Koblenz is where you’ll find Roman history, a high-tech research hub and a buzzing cultural scene all in one place. Don’t miss the delightful Kaiserin-Augusta-Anlagen, the southern part of the Rhine promenade. It was turned into a landscaped park with artistic historical monuments and sculptures between 1856 and 1861. If you fancy a treat, try Debbekooche. Originally eaten by those who couldn’t afford goose on Saint Martin’s Day, it is now considered a regional speciality and is traditionally served with apple sauce. Delicious!
DAY 4: Rudesheim, Germany
Early morning departure toward Rudesheim.
In the Upper Middle Rhine Valley – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the town of Rüdesheim marks the end of several old merchants’ routes. This strategically important point used to be protected by four castles. Picturesque Rüdesheim is known all around the world for its outstanding wines. Drosselgasse, an alleyway with half-timbered facades, is known as ‘The World’s Longest Wine Bar‘ and is reputed to be the most-visited tourist attraction in Germany after Cologne Cathedral. If you want to sample the local wines, head to the rustic wine taverns in the old town.
DAY 5: Mainz, Germany
Mainz is known for its cheerful atmosphere and its hospitality. Why not go for a stroll along the tranquil riverbank or enjoy a good glass of local wine while you’re there? You could also visit the city’s main landmark: Saint Martin’s Cathedral. It boasts one of the richest church interiors in the Christian world. With 2,000 years of history, Mainz is not just one of the oldest cities in Germany – it is also a place where you can see history come alive wherever you turn.
