Creator's Key Takeaways

We are taking a look at our sixth and last cruise on board of the Swiss Diamond.

The food on board is amazing and of course also on this cruise the food was fantastic, way above the standard of a cruise ship of this class.

It's not quite common to have a river cruise on the Mosel in a December as it is a wine destination most of the cruises are from spring until autumn but also in winter there are a lot of nice things you can see and do.

I really enjoy it. I still think it's interesting, even though I've seen it, for sure, a few hundred times.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit the Marksburg Castle in Braubach for a guided tour and beautiful views.
Explore Cochem's city center even in winter for half-timbered houses and open bars.
