What will you see on the Moselle cruise from Cochem?
The Moselle at Cochem is one of the most scenic river stretches in Germany — tight loops, steep vineyard slopes and medieval castles shape the landscape. On the cruise you’ll pass:
- Cochem itself — with its picturesque old town right on the Moselle
- Reichsburg Cochem — the imposing castle high above the town, seen from multiple angles
- Hotels, wineries and restaurants below the castle
- Brauselay Rock — the distinctive rocky outcrop above the river
- Numerous wineries and vineyard terraces on both banks
- Village of Ernst — the idyllic Moselle village at the turning point, with optional shore stop
Cochem and the Moselle — a trip onto the water
Cochem is one of the most visited small towns on the Moselle — and with good reason. The Reichsburg above the town, the narrow half-timbered houses in the old town and the vineyards climbing the slopes right behind the buildings together create a picture that’s hard to beat.
From the boat, you get a perspective on this panorama that you simply can’t get on foot. The boat offers three decks including a sun deck — on fine days, the top spots fill up fast. The bar on board serves drinks, coffee, snacks, cake, beer and local Moselle wines at fair prices.
In Ernst — the small riverside village at the turning point — weekend festivals are often held in summer. You can hop off for a wine tasting or a short stroll and continue back to Cochem on a later boat. Just let the crew know in advance.
Are there other boat tours in Cochem and on the Moselle?

Is the Cochem boat tour worth it?
Yes, absolutely. The Moselle at Cochem is genuinely beautiful — and an hour on the water is one of the most relaxed ways to enjoy this landscape. Guests praise the friendly crew and warm welcome on board. At €13–14 per person, the price is very fair.
