One of the highlights on our entire trip. This La Paloma is a beautiful vessel and the staff were top notch. Watching the landscape and castles as we drift by with a spritzer. Ahhhhhh, bliss!

Full description

Welcome aboard the comfortable and exclusive ship La Paloma for a cruise in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley World Heritage Site. On no other stretch of the Rhine are the castles and palaces so beautifully strung together. On board the La Paloma, you can relax and enjoy the view.


Start in Koblenz and first sail a short distance down the Rhine with a view of the Rhine in front of Koblenz, the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, and the famous "Deutsche Eck" (German Corner). At the mouth of the Moselle, the ship turns around and makes its way up the Rhine to Braubach to Marksburg Castle.

The cruise takes you past the Electoral Palace of Koblenz (Kufürstliches Schloss Koblenz), the Koblenz Brewery, Lahneck Castle, Stolzenfels Castle and the Königsstuhl in Rhens. In Braubach (castle Marksburg) the ship turns around and sails back to Koblenz.

the activity was lovely, 2 hour boat ride is worth the admission fee. th boat service was good, seat accommodation, cleanliness of rest rooms and options for food and drinks was good. we only bought drinks and checked out the reviews left on website and Google. Since the weather was beautiful and warm, sitting on the deck and viewing the scene was fabulous
