My wife and I have been on three A-Rosa cruises and are looking forward to planning our next trip. This tour of the Moselle and Rhine was spectacular. We enjoyed the small towns, the food on-board and the always attentive staff. The ships are always comfortable. This time we brought our son’s family and we especially appreciated the attention given to our 7-year old grandson by the captain and hotel manager. Others have commented on being on a German cruise line with mostly German speakers. While we were the only Americans, there were dozens of passengers from Wales and England. Frankly, we prefer being with Germans when we are in Germany. If we wanted to hang out with Americans, we’d vacation in Dallas. We were sad to miss being able to visit Trier due to low water level, but have deep respect for how well A-Rosa dealt with the challenge.

Best time to visit
- Summer 2026
Summer opens every possible way to explore the Moselle. The river cruises hit that sweet spot between comfort and cultural immersion - you can relax on deck as castles drift past, then step ashore to wander through Trier's Roman ruins or join a local mustard-making workshop in one of the valley's historic mills. Our bike-and-barge tours are particularly popular; customers love cycling through vineyards and medieval villages by day, then returning to a comfortable boat each evening. Many trips include nice touches like castle concerts and private tastings at family wineries. The guides get loads of praise for pointing out those local details you'd probably miss on your own.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn puts the Moselle's wine heritage front and center. The Rhine-Moselle combination cruises time their visits perfectly for harvest festivals in Bernkastel-Kues, Cochem and other wine towns. Our guests love watching the grape harvest from deck, then heading into centuries-old cellars for tastings. The cycling tours work brilliantly in autumn too - the paths are quieter and you'll find plenty of village wine festivals to stop at. Many routes include walks through working vineyards where you can chat with families who've been making wine here for generations. The evening entertainment gets great feedback, with local musicians coming aboard and special harvest dinners featuring regional dishes and also wines.

- Spring 2027
The Moselle really comes alive in spring, especially for river cruises and cycling trips. Setting off from Luxembourg, you can join guided vineyard walks before the summer crowds arrive, plus hop on a bike between villages whenever you feel like stretching your legs. Our travelers often tell us how magical it is watching the morning mist lift off the river, slowly revealing those medieval castles and terraced vineyards. Some clever routes mix Amsterdam's tulip season with Moselle wine country, giving you both Dutch gardens and German wines in one go. We've found the smaller ships work perfectly this time of year - they can pull right into the heart of towns like Cochem and Bernkastel-Kues, where you'll meet fewer tourists than in peak months.
