    Detailed Cruise Itinerary:

    The countryside on both banks of the Moselle is splendid, the wines are delicious, and the picturesque little towns have rich histories. The conditions for cycling are excellent indeed. You follow the river Moselle, partly in Germany, partly in France and partly in Luxembourg, along the endless vineyards and the enchanting old cities like Cochem and Bernkastel. Then, of course, there is Trier, once an imperial Roman city. You will see the remnants of this glorious past in Germany’s oldest cathedral, amphitheater, the emperor’s throne hall and famous “black gate,” the remains of the ancient city wall. After Trier you will bike along the river Saar to visit charming Saarburg, with the stunning waterfalls in the city center. Then onto tiny Luxembourg, the only Grand Duchy in Europe.  The last day you cycle in France with her welcoming villages, where the inhabitants are proud of their sweet, smooth wines and golden “Mirabellen” liqueur. The tour end in the city of Metz, with her splendid Gothic cathedral.

    Day 0: Miami to Frankfurt, Germany

    We fly from Miami overnight to Frankfurt, arriving the next day.

    Day 1: Cochem, Germany

    On the day of our arrival, we'll spend the night at a hotel in Cochem, before boarding the ship the next day.

    Day 2: Cochem

    Embarkation and check-in is at 2 p.m. in Cochem. After a welcome meeting with the crew, the tour leader will take you for a walk through this cozy and characteristic Moselle town, with steep wine-clad mountains, wooded hills, an impressive castle and a picturesque square with beautiful timber-framed houses and cafes. A visit to Cochem’s majestic Reichsburg Castle is on the program.

    Day 3: Cochem – Zell (39 km/24 mi.)

    Following breakfast, you’ll cycle to Beilstein, one of the best-preserved historical villages on the Moselle. The ruins of Castle Metternich sit towering above the village, and you’ll have the opportunity to explore them. After leaving Beilstein you’ll pass Europe’s steepest vineyard – with slopes inclining up to 60 degrees – at Bremmer Calmont. Today’s tour ends in the wine village of Zell on the Moselle, well known in the industry for the wine Zeller Schwarze Katz. In Zell we recommend taking the opportunity to get to know the good wines of the Moselle valley.

    Day 4: Zell on the Moselle – Bernkastel-Kues (45 km/27 mi.)

    Today you’ll cycle from Zell to the romantic village of Traben-Trarbach, located on the Moselle’s left bank and famous for its Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) architecture. From there you pass through the wine city of Kröv – well-known for its popular Kröver wine – to Bernkastel-Kues, your destination for the night. The grand half-timbered houses that surround Bernkastel-Kues’s marketplace date back to the Middle Ages, and are a photographer’s delight. You’ll reach the barge in Kues after a tour through town.

    Day 5: Bernkastel-Kues – Neumagen – Schweich (28 km/18 mi. or 54 km/34 mi.) | Schweich – Trier

    From Bernkastel, the valley opens up and vineyards expand as far as the eye can see. Today we cruise past the heavy-hitters in the wine world: Brauneberg, Piesport, Trittenheim. Piesport is beloved by the Brits for the “little golden droplets.” Trittenheim lies in a sharp hairpin turn on the river surrounded by mountains coated with grapes. Around lunchtime you will arrive in Neumagen, already in Roman times an important center of wine production. You can decide to join the barge from here or continue by bicycle to Schweich, where again the barge will be waiting for you. Once on board you will cruise to Trier, the oldest city in Germany. Trier was founded around 15 before Christ by Caesar Augustus under the name of Augusta Trevorum. As a trading town and administrative center, Trier flourished during the late imperial age. This Roman golden age has left us with a respectable number of monuments. Most authentic is the city gate Porta Nigra, which was built around 18 after Christ.

    Day 6: Trier – Saarburg (28 km/18 mi.)

    In the morning your tour leader will take you into Trier and walk you around in Roman history. There is also time to discover and enjoy Trier on your own.

    After lunch you will hop on your bicycles and follow the Mosel and Saar river to our next destination, Saarburg. Saarburg is an interesting old town situated in the most beautiful part of the Saar valley. Here the banks of the river are densely forested. The castle of Saarburg was built here in the middle of the 10th century. In the middle of town you come across a waterfall of 20 meters high. At the foot of this waterfall there is an old mill, which is driven by the small river. In this part of town most of the old houses from the 17th and 18th century, which give Saarburg such a picturesque look, are still intact. Today there is no dinner on board. You can select one of the local restaurants of Saarburg.

    Day 7: Saarburg – Remich (45 km/27 mi. or 53 km/32 mi.)

    Today there are 2 cycling options. One is easy, but a bit longer along the rivers. The shorter option is a bit more challenging, through the hills. Whatever your choice is, the cycling will lead you into the Grand Duchy Luxembourg. Here the Moselle forms the border between Germany and Luxembourg. Luxembourg is a small country, but her capital (also called Luxembourg) is an important finance center and EU administrative city. On the way, at the Luxembourg side, we visit a wine cooperative, specialized in the so called “Cremant”, say the Champagne of the

    Moselle. Close to Remich you can admire a Roman mosaic floor. The tile floor which lies in its original place, was once the centerpiece in a palatial Roman villa. The scene (in 3 million individual tile pieces) reveals scenes from gladiator games in the amphitheater.

    Day 8: Remich – Schengen | Schengen – Thionville (30 km/18 mi.) | Thionville – Metz

    While having breakfast you will cruise to Schengen, where your cycling tour will start. The “Schengen agreement” is something everybody in Europe has heard of, whereas almost nobody knows that it is named after this little town in Luxembourg at the 3-country border. Soon we will cross the Luxembourg- French border and experience the outcome of this agreement: no border controls. We pass the fortress of Sierck-les-Bains, one of the palaces inhabited by the powerful Dukes of Lorraine. The route is lovely through French countryside, and friendly villages. Around lunchtime you will arrive in Thionville, the center of the steel industry until the 1980s. That might sound modern and industrial, but the city is ancient. The historic center shows us the medieval ramparts, lovely gardens, old streets and St.Maximin basilica. Here the ship is waiting to pick you up to cruise to Metz, another ancient city strategically situated on a Roman trading route. St.Etienne Cathedral is the 3rd largest gothic church in France with flying buttresses and Marc Chagall stained glass windows. Metz is full of stunning architecture, flowers and great cafes.

    Day 9: Metz

    End of tour. Disembarkation after breakfast, at around 9:30 a.m.

    Day 9-11: Paris

    After leaving the boat we'll transfer via bus to Paris (approx 3.5 hours), where we'll spend two nights in a the Hotel Mercure Paris Alesia before flying back to the US.

    2024 VISA CHANGES FOR EUROPE:

    https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/etias/us-citizens/  

    https://www.handyvisas.com/etias/requirements-for-americans/

    Starting in 2024,  Americans will need to register online with the ETIAS system before their trip to get visa-free entry . By completing an ETIAS application for US citizens online, you can avoid having to go through a lengthy visa application process at a European embassy or consulate.

    Do US Citizens Need a Visa to Visit Europe?

    American citizens do not need a visa to visit countries in the Schengen Area or for prospective member states that are preparing to join Schengen. This includes most European Union (EU countries) and a few others.

    Starting in 2024 , Americans will need to register online with the ETIAS system before their trip to get visa-free entry.

    By completing an ETIAS application for US citizens online, you can avoid having to go through a length visa application process at a European embassy or consulate.

    What is the ETIAS for US citizens?

    The European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) is a digital visa waiver system. It allows eligible travelers to visit the Schengen Area without a visa.

    It is being introduced as a security measure to screen travelers who have not had to apply for a visa. It is modeled on similar systems around the world such as the US ESTA.

    The ETIAS system is designed to be quick and convenient, while providing an extra layer of security for the Schengen border.

    It will take a matter of minutes for American applicants to enter their details. Confirmation of the approved ETIAS visa waiver for US citizens will be delivered by email within a few business days at most, making it a much simpler and faster process than applying for a visa.

    Countries that Americans Can Visit with ETIAS

    The ETIAS for US citizens allows Americans to visit any country within the Schengen Area The Schengen Area currently consists of 27 member states: 23 European Union (EU) countries and the 4 members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).

    This means that ETIAS will grant Americans access to most of the EU member states, with only the Republic of Ireland maintaining a separate visa policy.

    As of 7/31/23 ETIAS is not yet live, but you can sign up for updates and find more information here: https://etias.com/etias-application
