Port information & tips for Wasserbillig
Wasserbillig is Luxembourg's charming border town, idyllically situated at the picturesque confluence of the Sauer and Moselle. Its special location in the green Moselle Valley gives the town a relaxed flair and makes it an ideal starting point for cross-border discoveries in the Grand Duchy. Cultural and scenic highlights include the famous Spatz at the striking river triangle, the fascinating Aquarium Wasserbillig, and the baroque parish church of St. Lucia. River cruise ships dock directly at the central pier on the banks of the Moselle (Quai de la Moselle). From here, guests can reach the cozy town center with its cafes and attractive shopping opportunities in just a few minutes' walk thanks to short distances and its immediate proximity to the center.
Wasserbillig, Luxembourg's largest inland port on the Moselle, is a popular starting point for river cruises and, thanks to its location close to the border, is easily accessible from the DACH region. The landing stage is centrally located on the Esplanade de la Moselle, from where the small town can be easily explored on foot.
Car
The port of Wasserbillig is optimally connected to the road network and is located directly on the A1/E44 motorway, also known as the Trierer Autobahn, which provides a direct connection to Germany. Exit 15 leads you directly to Wasserbillig. For travelers arriving with their own vehicle, free short-term parking is available at Wasserbillig station (half an hour using the "Brötchentaste"). Additionally, there is a free Park & Ride car park in the municipality of Mertert, which is located close to the bus and train stations and offers a practical alternative.
Train
Wasserbillig station is an important border station on the railway line connecting Luxembourg City with Trier. CFL trains run approximately every 30 minutes during the day and take you comfortably from Luxembourg Central Station to Wasserbillig in about 30 to 45 minutes. A major advantage is that public transport throughout Luxembourg has been free of charge since March 2020. From Wasserbillig station, you can reach the ship piers at the Esplanade de la Moselle after a short walk of only 300 to 400 meters, conveniently through a pedestrian tunnel under the tracks.
Airplane
The nearest airport is Luxembourg Airport (LUX), also known as Findel Airport, located around 35 to 40 kilometers from Wasserbillig. For a comfortable onward journey to the ship, a taxi or a pre-organized private transfer is recommended, as there is no direct public bus connection without changing in Luxembourg City. When arriving from the DACH region with longer flight times, arriving the day before embarkation is recommended to start your cruise experience relaxed.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will usually receive a fixed time slot for check-in with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for the journey to the port accordingly and take into account that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the journey: for shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements as well as the notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
