Day 1:
Arnhem - Düsseldorf
You are most welcome to come on board from 16:00 onwards. At about 19:00 we start the engines and head for Düsseldorf. After dinner you can become acquainted with your fellow passengers in the lounge. The musician who will be on board for the whole journey will give the evenings an extra enjoyable touch.
Day 2:
Düsseldorf - Bonn
You will have the opportunity to explore Düsseldorf during the whole morning. On board you can register for a sightseeing tour (*) of the city.

During the afternoon you can make your plans for the next day while enjoying High Tea. During the course of the evening we will arrive in Bonn.
Day 3:
Bonn - Andernach
We will spend the morning in Bonn, the former capital of Germany. A walk through the city centre will take you past such places as the house where Ludwig van Beethoven was born. About midday we will leave Bonn and sail to Andernach. Here we will spend the night. A number of medieval buildings have been preserved in the attractive city centre, such as the ‘Stadtburg’, a section of the city wall including the ‘Koblenz Gate’, the ‘Rhine Gate’, and the ‘Runde Turm’ (‘Round Tower’).
Day 4:
Andernach - Cochem
At Koblenz we leave the Rhine and enter the beautiful Moselle valley. We enjoy a day of sailing between the beautiful, steep, vine-covered mountain slopes. Cochem is a typical Moselle town and has a beautiful old inner city with its timbered houses. The romantic ‘Reichsburg’ stands out high above the city. The many souvenir shops in the narrow streets of the city centre alternate with cosy ‘Weinstubes’. You will have the afternoon and evening to spend in this location.
Day 5:
Cochem - Boppard
Our destination today, Boppard, is located in the middle of a large bend in the Rhine, also called the ‘Bopparder Hamm’. It is one of the largest wine-growing regions along the Rhine. The long Rhine promenade will take you to the centre of this tourist town. It is also possible to take the funicular railway (*) to the outlook on the hilltop. Don’t forget to bring your camera for you will certainly want to immortalise the magnificent panorama of the Vierseenblick (four lakes view).
