Deilmann’s offers Rhine and Moselle river cruises
Deilmann’s Rhine and Moselle river cruises sail aboard five-star ships. Cruising the legendary Rhine River between Amsterdam and Basel aboard Peter Deilmann five-star river ships provides an opportunity to discover the beauty of Germany’s castle gorge region between Koblenz and Mainz, one of the highlights of European river sailings.
The two ships, MV Heidelberg and MV Casanova are small floating hotels that dock in the center of towns from which passengers can explore by foot as well as on sightseeing excursions.
Seven-night cruises on the smaller Moselle River, which meets the Rhine at the town of Koblenz, reveal wine villages with hilltop castle ruins, half-timbered houses and old market squares – here village houses are clustered together in the narrow space between the river and the vineyard-covered hills.
Among the Heidelberg’s itineraries are seven-night cruises roundtrip from the capital city of Amsterdam to large and small Dutch cities – Rotterdam, Dordrecht and Middleberg and the historic Flemish cities of Ghent, Antwerp and Volendam in Belgium.
Amsterdam to Mainz (Frankfurt) sailings combine the Rhine and Moselle rivers calling at the modern port city of Rotterdam, historic and art-filled Cologne with its grand cathedral, Koblenz at the confluence of the two rivers, the Rhine wine town of Rüdesheim, the Moselle villages of Cochem and Bernkastel and town of Trier, Germany’s oldest, with 2000 years of history evident in its Roman town gate.
Classic Rhine itineraries sail from Amsterdam to Strasbourg in the Alsace region of France, known for its medieval quarter of well-preserved half-timbered houses and Gothic cathedral, and the centuries-old Swiss city of Basel.
The Heidelberg offers two longer July cruises – one 10-night sailing from Mainz to Amsterdam that visits the Moselle towns, Cologne and Düsseldorf and an 11-night itinerary from Amsterdam to Basel that covers the classic Rhine route.
The five-star Casanova sails a variety of itineraries on the Rhine, Moselle and the Rhine-Main Danube Canal with most cruises seven nights in length. Rhine-Main Canal sailings in August call at the “Student Prince” city of Heidelberg on the Neckar River. The 96-passenger Casanova has a 14-night sailing from Amsterdam to Budapest, Sept. 29, that cruises the Rhine, the Rhine-Main Danube Canal and the Danube River to Vienna and Budapest.
Spring and fall value seasons on the Heidelberg start at $1,595 per person in an outside twin cabin. Main season rates start at $2,050 per person twin; 10-night cruises start at $2,930 per person twin. Casanova rates start at $1,540 in the value season and $1,990 in the main season, per person in an outside twin cabin. The 14-night cruise is priced from $3,530 per person double.
