Germany Port of call
A river confluence, fortress galleries, or French art.
KD identifies its Rhine landing in Koblenz. Your river cruise line confirms its own berth on the Rhine or Moselle; save that location rather than using a sightseeing vessel’s departure point.
Option 1
Choose a plan for the stops, food, walking and extra costs. Suggested plans are flexible; use your ship’s all-aboard time to set your return.

Confirm admission, included areas and optional food, drinks, purchases or equipment before paying.
Option 2
Prefer an organized outing in Koblenz? Browse tours with Viator, then check the exact meeting point, departure, inclusions and cancellation terms before booking.
Tour duration is only part of your time ashore. Allow for getting to the meeting point, early check-in, any transfers outside the tour and your return reserve. Confirm the ship’s clock, all-aboard time and any earlier last tender. These results have not been checked against your sailing.
Search up to one year ahead. Schedules are indicative; confirm available departure times and your group’s final price on Viator.
