This afternoon, witness one of the real highlights of the cruise: the dramatic Rhine Gorge. Steep vineyards give way to almost vertical rocky outcrops towering above the valley sides. Sail past Saint Goar and numerous ruined castles and feel the river’s legends come alive, especially around the Loreley Rock, where beautiful nymphs were said to have lured sailors to their deaths.
Relax on the sun deck as the captain skilfully navigates the huge looping bend at Boppard, one of the most impressive on the river, and look out for mighty Marksburg Castle, an imposing 13th-century fortress. Continue to picturesque Koblenz, where another meticulously prepared dinner awaits on board, followed by an upbeat live performance of traditional Rhenish folk music.
