Germany's beautiful river landscapes Mosel The Saar region invites you! Combine varied cycling tours with a comfortable stay aboard the MS Switzerland. During this 8-day trip, explore Saarburg, sometimes called "Little Venice," among other places. However, the town is by no means the only highlight of this journey for romantics and gourmets. Beautiful half-timbered houses, vineyards, the Porta Nigra in Trier, and the old course of the Saar River: all will be highlights. While you are active during the day, the ship follows you along the river, returning to serve as your floating hotel at the end of each day's journey. 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.

You should take the time to taste the good wines of the Mosel know.

Schedule and program changes are always possible. If, for example, a section of the route cannot be navigated due to low or high water levels or bad weather, the captain reserves the right to change the route for your safety (this is not grounds for a free cancellation). The same applies to lock and/or bridge repairs ordered by authorities and not announced in advance.
Bringing your own bicycle: Due to limited space on the sun deck, bringing your own bicycle is only possible upon request and subject to availability. We exclude all liability for loss, theft, or damage – this also applies to damage incurred during transport from the ship to shore and back.
Other information: Please bear in mind that your riverboat is both your "holiday hotel" and a working vessel that moves using engine power and requires constant operation, including at night (sometimes involving lock and bridge passages). We recommend that particularly noise-sensitive guests bring earplugs. Lock passages are disruptive and unfortunately cannot be avoided.
Route profileThe 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.
Available on board (limited quantity): Bicycle helmet (UVEX I-VO) €45 each, mobile phone holder €10 each, power bank (10.000 mAh) €20 each
