Day 6 - Rüdesheim & the Rhine Gorge
We moor in the classic wine town of Rüdesheim am Rhein this
morning. This destination is awash in natural beauty, with dramatic
riverside scenery and rolling Riesling vineyards. Your time here is
at leisure to walk along the river or to wander into the town,
where half-timbered houses and charming narrow lanes abound. The
ship departs for Koblenz later this morning, with breathtaking
scenery on the horizon. Our route ventures through the remarkable
Rhine Gorge, one of the river's most beautiful sections and a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. Look up at the sheer riverbanks and the
deep forests, vineyards, and ancient castles that top them. Our
Cruise Director narrates our journey through this stretch, adding
stories and facts that enhance your understanding of this magical
region.
But the views are only some of the things you can look forward
to this afternoon. As we sail, savor a themed buffet lunch with a
suckling pig centerpiece and several smaller regional dishes.
Weather permitting, lunch will be served on the sun deck to allow
you to savor the views and the cuisine simultaneously. As we arrive
in Koblenz later today, enjoy time to visit wine taverns and
explore at leisure. Overnight ship.
