Day 3
Koblenz (Germany)
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.

Day 4
Cologne (Germany)
About Cologne
Cologne is a city in western Germany located across the Rhine river. It is the oldest in Germany, dating back 2000 years and is considered the region’s cultural hub. The city is known for its iconic landmark of the twin-spired Cologne Cathedral set against the reconstructed Old Town buildings. When in Old Town, visit the historic Old Town Hall and the Roman Church Great St Martin, or take time out and sit at one of the traditional breweries and enjoy the scenery around you. Historical sites such as the Roman Dionysus mosaic and the medieval Overstolzenhaus are worth a visit too. Another iconic sight in Cologne is at Hohenzollern Bridge. Here, local and tourist couples affix padlocks to the railings of the bridge and swear their loyalty to each other, they then throw the key into the Rhein to ensure everlasting love. Cologne is home to over 30 stages providing cabaret, free ensembles, theatre and dance and also celebrates its openly gay culture.
Day 5
Amsterdam (Netherlands)
About Amsterdam
Amsterdam combines the unrivaled beauty of the 17th-century Golden Age city center with plenty of museums and art of the highest order, not to mention a remarkably laid-back atmosphere. It all comes together to make this one of the world's most appealing and offbeat metropolises in the world. Built on a latticework of concentric canals like an aquatic rainbow, Amsterdam is known as the City of Canals—but it's no Venice, content to live on moonlight serenades and former glory. Quite the contrary: on nearly every street here you'll find old and new side by side—quiet corners where time seems to be holding its breath next to streets like neon-lit Kalverstraat, and Red Light ladies strutting by the city's oldest church. Indeed, Amsterdam has as many lovely facets as a 40-carat diamond polished by one of the city's gem cutters. It's certainly a metropolis, but a rather small and very accessible one. Locals tend to refer to it as a big village, albeit one that happens to pack the cultural wallop of a major world destination. There are scores of concerts every day, numerous museums, summertime festivals, and, of course, a legendary year-round party scene. It's pretty much impossible to resist Amsterdam's charms. With 7,000 registered monuments, most of which began as the residences and warehouses of humble merchants, set on 160 man-made canals, and traversed by 1,500 or so bridges, Amsterdam has the largest historical inner city in Europe. Its famous circle of waterways, the grachtengordel, was a 17th-century urban expansion plan for the rich and is a lasting testament to the city’s Golden Age. This town is endearing because of its kinder, gentler nature—but a reputation for championing sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll does not alone account for Amsterdam's being one of the most popular destinations in Europe: consider that within a single square mile the city harbors some of the greatest achievements in Western art, from Rembrandt to Van Gogh. Not to mention that this is one of Europe's great walking cities, with so many of its treasures in the untouted details: tiny alleyways barely visible on the map, hidden garden courtyards, shop windows, floating houseboats, hidden hofjes(courtyards with almshouses), sudden vistas of church spires, and gabled roofs that look like so many unframed paintings. And don’t forget that the joy lies in details: elaborate gables and witty gable stones denoting the trade of a previous owner. Keep in mind that those XXX symbols you see all over town are not a mark of the city's triple-X reputation. They're part of Amsterdam's official coat of arms—three St. Andrew's crosses, believed to represent the three dangers that have traditionally plagued the city: flood, fire, and pestilence. The coat's motto ("Valiant, determined, compassionate") was introduced in 1947 by Queen Wilhelmina in remembrance of the 1941 February Strike in Amsterdam—the first time in Europe that non-Jewish people protested against the persecution of Jews by the Nazi regime.

Riverside Debussy
He was a real charmer. Poetry and charm characterise his works. His compositions were regarded at the time as the start of a “new form of music”, and the tours with the Riverside Debussy may also be understood as the dawn of a new era of river cruising on the Rhine. This ship is a luxury resort on water, and at the same time an island of tranquillity. It offers guests plenty of space and a first-class kitchen, while simultaneously guaranteeing privacy. The Riverside Debussy leaves nothing to be desired.

FINE CUISINE COMME IL FAUT!
Luxury means having a choice. On the Riverside Debussy, you have the choice between different culinary concepts. Our chefs will spoil you from breakfast to dinner – they prepare everything themselves, with regional, fresh products. The bread and jam are also baked and prepped on board. With the Riverside Debussy, travel has two dimensions to it: You will experience dreamlike landscapes and special cities, and at the same time our chefs will tailor their creations to the regions through which the ship is currently sailing. The same goes for wine. Here’s to life, and all the pleasure it brings!
Bistro
Experience: cover
Food: Food Hall
When the smell of freshly brewed coffee and tempting pastries hits your nose in the morning, you know: Here, you can enjoy a wonderful breakfast even if you are a late riser. Our bistro was modelled on a coffee house. In the evening, you will be sure to enjoy the simple things here: Tapas will let your heart sing. In culinary terms, these are matched to the region in which the ship has just docked – or through which it is currently sailing.
Vista Upper Deck
Experience: cover
Food: bbq
This deck is a bar and barbecue and another highlight on the Riverside Debussy. How about eating freshly grilled scampi for lunch, drinking a glass of Riesling from the region and letting the UNESCO-protected, romantic landscape between Bingen and Bacharach pass by? Or gazing at the cool and simultaneously grandiose testimonies to North Rhine’s industrial culture with a glass of champagne as the sun sets? Oh, life is beautiful!
Waterside Restaurant
Experience: cover
Food: fine
It is a gourmet island with a buffet at lunchtime and a Michelin star-level, fine-dining world in the evening. The oval marble counter and the black-brown wooden mosaic at the entrance of the Waterside Restaurant already hint at a truly stylish interior here. Here, you sit on royal blue velvet armchairs and will do one thing above all: enjoy. Our chefs will enchant you. Promise.
Vintage Room
Experience: cover
Food: Exclusive
Special occasions need a special place. Our Vintage Room is just such a place: a room for small group dinners for up to 10 people. So much style: Here you sit on comfortable grey leather armchairs and enjoy Michelin star-level creations. Cabinets set in gold to temper the wines already reveal that only the very best is served here, finely tuned to each individual course. The Vintage Room can also be booked for private parties with friends.
