Germany's beautiful river landscapes Mosel and Saar invite you! Combine varied bike tours with a pleasant stay on board the MS OLYMPIA. During this 8-day trip, explore Saarburg, which is sometimes called "Little Venice". However, the city is by no means the only highlight of this trip for romantics and connoisseurs. Beautiful half-timbered houses, vineyards, the Porta Nigra in Trier, the old arm of the Saar: they will all be little highlights. While you are active during the day, the ship follows you along the river, and then returns to your hotel ship at your destination for the day. Mosel and Saar present themselves in the best light.
Individual arrival and boarding from 16:00 p.m. The captain and his crew as well as your on-board tour guide will warmly welcome you on board.

Your ship will take you to Alken today. From here you will cycle to Moselcore and then on to Cochem, where historic half-timbered houses in the old town, the town hall and the old market square with St. Martin's fountain await you - and the Reichsburg castle towers over everything like a fairytale castle. We recommend that inexperienced cyclists spend the day on board and use the free afternoon in Cochem.
Overnight place: Cochem
After breakfast, cycle along the winding Mosel along the river to the small town of Beilstein. As “Rothenburg an der Mosel“ this lovely little town even went into the Filmhistory. After a short tour, we head past the steepest vineyard in Europe, the Bremmer Calmont, to Zell an der Mosel – known for the vineyard “Zeller Schwarze Katz”. You should take the time to taste the good wines of the Mosel know.

Timetable and program changes are generally reserved. If, for example, a route cannot be navigated due to low or high water or bad weather, the captain reserves the right to change the route for your safety (this is not a free reason for cancellation). The same applies to lock and/or bridge repairs ordered by the authorities and not announced in advance.
Taking your own bikes with you: Due to the limited space on the sun deck, bringing your own bike is only possible on request and only to a limited extent. We exclude all liability for loss, theft, damage - this also applies to transport damage from the ship to land and back.
Other information: Please keep in mind that your riverboat is both your "vacation hotel" and a working tool that moves using its engine and requires constant operation, even at night (sometimes when passing through locks and bridges). We recommend that guests who are particularly sensitive to noise bring earplugs. Lock passages are subject to disruption, and unfortunately, this cannot be changed.
The quality of the cycle paths is excellent. MoselThe cycle path mostly runs on paved or asphalted roads without any significant gradients. This means that this trip is also suitable for inexperienced cyclists.
