Port information & tips for Konz
Konz is the picturesque gateway to the Saar-Mosel region and impresses with its unique location at the confluence of two significant rivers. The city radiates an inviting charm and, thanks to its extensive vineyards and historical architecture, is an ideal starting point for cultural discoveries. Outstanding highlights include the extensive open-air museum Roscheider Hof, the impressive Kloster Karthaus, and the striking Saar-Mosel-Eck. River cruise ships dock directly at the central Konz ship pier at Saar-Mosel-Platz. From this mooring point, guests can easily reach the lively city center and the most important sights on foot in just a few minutes, allowing for a particularly relaxed stay in this hospitable Saar-Mosel city.
Konz, located at the confluence of the Saar and Moselle, is an idyllic starting point for river cruises and is easily accessible thanks to its location in the border triangle of Germany, Luxembourg, and France. There is no dedicated large terminal here like at seaports; the ships usually dock centrally on the banks of the Saar or Moselle.
Car
Konz is optimally accessible via the A1 (from the direction of Köln/Saarbrücken), A64 motorways, and the B51 federal highway. The route to the city center and the moorings is well signposted. Public parking spaces are available in Konz, for example on the banks of the Moselle or near the train station, from where the ships are usually within walking distance. Special Park & Cruise offers are rather unusual for river cruises in smaller towns, but there are sufficient options for the duration of the trip.
Train
Konz train station is a relevant rail hub that is very well connected to Trier, Saarbrücken, and Luxembourg via regional trains. From Trier, there are also ICE connections to many major German cities. From Konz station, you can usually reach the river cruise ship moorings easily on foot in a few minutes, as they are often located in the immediate vicinity.
Airplane
The nearest international airport is Luxembourg Airport (LUX), located about 30 kilometers from Konz. The travel time by taxi or rental car is around 30-40 minutes. Another option is Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (HHN), which is about 60 kilometers away and is primarily served by low-cost airlines; the travel time to Konz here is about 50-60 minutes. A direct public transport transfer from the airport is often more complicated and requires transfers, which is why a taxi or rental car is the most comfortable choice.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that your travel documents usually include a fixed time slot for check-in, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your journey to the port and bear in mind that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination - is usually about one hour before the scheduled departure.
The following also applies during the trip: for shore excursions, you should be back on board no later than one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements and notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
