About

Experience the Magic of the Middle Rhine Valley

Step aboard for a picturesque journey through one of Germany’s most celebrated scenic regions—the Middle Rhine Valley. This two-hour boat tour lets you discover a landscape packed with legend, history and natural splendour, and is perfect for travellers seeking noteworthy castles, palaces and timeless river views near Koblenz.

Unmatched Scenery and Historic Landmarks

The cruise glides past many remarkable fortresses crowning the cliffs and riverbanks. You'll see Stolzenfels Castle, an impressive neo-Gothic estate with sweeping views, and Lahneck Castle, steeped in stories of medieval chivalry and the Knights Templar. Continue on to admire the robust outline of Marksburg Castle as well as the stately Martinsburg Castle—each one revealing a different piece of local history and architectural style.

Churches and Chapels Rich in Tradition

This region is not only known for its castles. Sail by cultural treasures such as the St John’s Monastery, the valley’s most historic church, alongside the fascinating All Saints Chapel, a revered pilgrimage destination since the 17th century. These sites are a testament to the enduring religious and social traditions of the Middle Rhine region.

Geographical Wonders Along the Rhine

Comfort, Insight and Local Legends

Relax in comfortable boat seating as you listen to audio or multilingual commentary explaining the significance of each site you pass. The crew is ready to share lesser-known tales—such as the legend of the last twelve Knights Templar who famously sought shelter in Lahneck Castle upon their order’s dissolution in 1312.
