Port information & tips for Treis-Karden
Treis-Karden is a picturesque jewel on the Lower Moselle and combines two charming districts into an idyllic stopover destination for river travelers. Nestled in steep vineyards and lush river meadows, the town exudes a calm, authentic atmosphere with historic half-timbered houses and a first-class wine-growing tradition. Cultural highlights include the impressive Stiftskirche St. Castor, also known as the "Moselle Cathedral", as well as the nearby, world-famous Burg Eltz and the informative Stiftsmuseum. River cruise ships dock directly at the pier along the Moselle promenade, from where the historic alleys of both districts as well as the cozy wine taverns can be easily reached in just a few minutes on foot thanks to the central location on the riverbank.
Treis-Karden on the Moselle welcomes you as a charming starting point for unforgettable river cruises and is easily accessible from the entire DACH region thanks to good transport connections. The piers are centrally located in the picturesque Moselle community, allowing you to reach your ship quickly.

Airplane
The nearest airport is Frankfurt-Hahn (HHN), approximately 25 kilometers away, allowing for a short onward journey. Alternatively, Köln/Bonn Airport (CGN) at around 79 kilometers and Frankfurt/Main Airport (FRA) at about 91 kilometers away are good options. Flexible transfer options by taxi, bus, or private airport transfer are available from all airports. For longer flights, we recommend arriving the day before to start your cruise well-rested.
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 accordingly and keep in mind that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination area - is generally scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the cruise: 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.
