La Nouvelle Etoile
Moselle Cruise


 

The La Nouville Etoile  slowly plies along picturesque inland waterways of Holland, Belgium, France  and Germany lined with magnificent foliage and speckled with charming towns.

The La Nouville Etoile includes a large sundeck with jacuzzi, a main deck with a panoramic  lounge, a bar area with piano, a dining room, a fitness room and an elevator.  There are 4 oversized  suites (over 200 square feet), featuring flat screen monitors with internet connection, satellite television and video, double sink bathrooms with large showers.

Meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout - from the selection of the linens, to the fresh fruit and flowers in each suite.  The warm, elegant teak interiors, subtle color schemes and pleasant furnishings invite you to relax and enjoy.

Monday, Day 2 Koblenz to Cochem

A morning cruise guides us through the lowest part of the Mosel River up to the charming town of Cochem. After lunch we drive to the castle of Burg Eltz, also called the “Queen of the German Castles” as it is one of the few that were not destroyed by the French King Louis XIV in 1689.
