Saverne and Haut-Barr Castle


Nestled at the foot of the Vosges Mountains, Saverne is one of the gateways to Alsace. Its rich heritage reflects the region's eventful history and its strong attachment to local traditions.

Overlooking the valley, Haut-Barr Castle offers exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. Nicknamed the "Eye of Alsace," this iconic site is one of the highlights of the cruise.


The Arzviller Boat Lift and Lutzelbourg


A remarkable feat of engineering, the Arzviller Boat Lift is a unique structure in Europe. Replacing a series of locks, it enables boats to overcome a significant change in elevation within a preserved natural setting.

Nearby, the village of Lutzelbourg reveals all the charm of the Moselle region. Surrounded by forests and dominated by the remains of its medieval castle, it offers a peaceful stop in the heart of unspoilt nature.
