The Route

The flagship route through the UNESCO Rhine Gorge.

Castles on every promontory, vineyards sweeping to the water, and the Loreley legend on the current. A Frankfurt round-trip, with a tributary excursion up the Moselle to medieval Cochem. It's the first sailing of the route that anchors every Frontier Year to come.
