Moselle Holiday Markets

with UNIWORLD Boutique River Cruises
Dec. 07, 2028 - Dec. 14, 2028
8 days5 ports

The serenity of the Moselle region is a delight at any time of year, lending the advent season here a compellingly local feel. Explore small towns brimming with charm, medieval castles, colorfully painted half-timbers, and winter festivities—and if the weather is right, you may just be lucky enough to see those colorful homes and Christmas lights pop under a blanket of white snow. At either end of this journey, bigger cities offer a dynamic study in contrasts. The distinctly 21st-century city of Düsseldorf and the ancient Roman city of Trier bookend the series of quiet, medieval villages you'll visit in between.

Itinerary

Day 1: Trier
Day 2: Trier
Day 3: Bernkastel-Kues
Day 4: Cochem
Day 5: Cochem
Day 6: Koblenz
Day 7: Düsseldorf
Day 8: Düsseldorf
Day 1: Trier

Day programme:

Arrive at Luxembourg Airport. If you have arranged a Uniworld arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship.

Day 2: Trier

Day programme:

To take a walk through Trier is to feel the long arch of history. Walk amidst the remnants of Roman presence on the Moselle—from the great “black gate” known as Porta Nigra to the ancient baths.

Day 3: Bernkastel-Kues

Day programme:

As if frozen in time, Bernkastel is replete with perfectly preserved half-timbered houses and a quiet, unhurried atmosphere. The glow emanating from the windows of local homes and the scent of mulled wine on the air bring a romantic warmth to even the chilliest winter days.

Day 4: Cochem

Day programme:

Discover a postcard waiting to happen in Cochem, where pastel-hued buildings reflect off the waterfront under the watchful gaze of a medieval castle on the hill. During the holiday season, a layer of fog or even a light dusting of snow brings striking dimension to this picture.

Day 5: Cochem

Day programme:

An overnight dock in Cochem gives you more time to explore this charming town at your leisure—an excellent opportunity to see the local Christmas market.

Day 6: Koblenz

Located in the West of the country, Koblenz is one of the oldest cities in Germany. It is situated on both banks of the river Rhine, at its confluence with the Moselle River. The beginnings of Koblenz can be traced back to its military beginnings around 8 BC. The city is rich in its history and heritage and is easily explored on foot. Take the cable car crossing over the river Rhine for spectacular aerial views or enjoy the city from the one thousand year old fortress, Ehrenbreitstein. The upper middle Rhine Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its unique landscape can be enjoyed and discovered through the interactive multimedia journey at the Romanticum. Historical and architectural sites of interest include Stolzenfels Castle, the Electoral Palace of Koblenz and Old Town. From the romantic winding streets and small squares of Old Town, stroll through the alleyways from the Church of the Holy Virgin to the St Kastor Basilica and enjoy the picturesque buildings and squares along the way. Koblenz is also very popular for its Riesling and strong Spatburgunder wines since the Romans introduced it two thousand years ago.

Day programme:

The Rhine and Moselle rivers meet to form the “German Corner” at Koblenz, a gorgeous landscape of wide riverscapes and lush hills that is particularly arresting in the winter.

Day 7: Düsseldorf

Day programme:

A cosmopolitan hub of fashion, art, and industry, Düsseldorf brings a tantalizingly urban contrast to the medieval atmosphere that dominates the Rhine River—though don’t worry, the city maintains its historic core at the Alstadt or “Old Town,” which comes brilliantly alive during advent season.

Day 8: Düsseldorf

Day programme:

Disembark the ship. If you have arranged a Uniworld departure transfer, you will be transferred to Düsseldorf Airport for your flight home.

In our experience, most young children—especially those under 4—are simply not yet old enough to enjoy river cruising. We make no special arrangements for little ones and offer few kid-friendly activities onboard or onshore. Please note: Our Generations program departures include programs and services designed for families traveling with children. Adults accompanying children are responsible for their safety and behavior onboard and onshore.

Guests must be 5 years of age or older. Guests who are less than 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and booked in a cabin with someone who is 21 years of age or older.
