Great Rivers of Europe—
Rhine, Main & Moselle
aboard the RIVER CLOUD and RIVER CLOUD II

Gnomes and warrior-knights stalked the Rhine cliffs in Wagner’s imagination; the Romans and the Goths held their borderlands here, where medieval castles now dominate the sublime gorges of the Romantic imagination. But along the meandering Moselle, vineyards rise up along the graceful hills, fermenting fine vintages for the charming towns along the riverbanks. Step ashore wherever we dock to explore winding streets, Gothic cathedrals and museums at your leisure. Or take optional excursions through dark forests and rolling hills to charming wine towns, monasteries and ancient university towns.
