Step off the ship with a plan
Arrival, terminals and getting into town
Confirm the actual berth first—local access can change substantially between terminals.
Where your ship arrives
Koblenz river vessels use several Rhine and Moselle landing stages rather than one fixed cruise terminal. Confirm the named landing and the side of the river before arranging pickup or walking back to the ship.
Getting into town
Landings along Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer or Peter-Altmeier-Ufer generally place the old town and Deutsches Eck within about a 5–15 minute walk. More distant stages, Ehrenbreitstein, and regional Rhine or Moselle plans require local transit, taxi, cable car, or a tour.
Port shuttle
Ship, tour, and local transfers vary by landing area and excursion.
Taxi and local transport
Taxi is practical for farther landing areas and regional castle or wine plans.

Destination guide
About Koblenz
Located in the West of the country, Koblenz is one of the oldest cities in Germany. It is situated on both banks of the river Rhine, at its confluence with the Moselle River. The beginnings of Koblenz can be traced back to its military beginnings around 8 BC. The city is rich in its history and heritage and is easily explored on foot.
Take the cable car crossing over the river Rhine for spectacular aerial views or enjoy the city from the one thousand year old fortress, Ehrenbreitstein. The upper middle Rhine Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its unique landscape can be enjoyed and discovered through the interactive multimedia journey at the Romanticum. Historical and architectural sites of interest include Stolzenfels Castle, the Electoral Palace of Koblenz and Old Town. From the romantic winding streets and small squares of Old Town, stroll through the alleyways from the Church of the Holy Virgin to the St Kastor Basilica and enjoy the picturesque buildings and squares along the way. Koblenz is also very popular for its Riesling and strong Spatburgunder wines since the Romans introduced it two thousand years ago.
