Travel Map

30 June - Night of Fire Magic
Cologne - Bonn - Andernach - Boppard - Rudesheim (Rhine in Flames) - Cochem - Koblenz - Cologne

Set in Rudesheim, thought of as one of Germany’s prettiest towns, this is one of the most exciting festivals with elaborate shows set to a magnificent backdrop made up of fairy-tale castles and churches, set alight by awe-inspiring firework displays. 

12 August - Procession to Koblenz
Cologne - Bonn - Andernach - Cochem - Koblenz (Rhine in Flames) - Rudesheim - Boppard - Linz - Cologne

Koblenz hosts Europe’s longest boat parade along the Rhine, and is considered one of the most spectacular nights of the Rhine in Flames. The parade finishes with a wonderful fi rework finale, bringing the town’s castles and palaces to life. 

9 September - Night of a Thousand Fires
Cologne - Bonn - Linz - Oberwesel (Rhine in Flames) - Rudesheim - Bingen - Mainz - Koblenz - Cologne

Oberwesel celebrates with a fantastic musical firework display, as the riverboats sail the 7km stretch of Rhine. Coinciding with Oberwesel’s wine festival, this is always an incredible celebration, passing the stunning Loreley Rock and the Seven Virgins rock formation. 

15 September - The Lorely Night
Cologne - Bonn - Konigswinter - Koblenz - Boppard (Rhine in Flames) - Rudesheim - Linz - Cologne

The perfect end to the week-long Boppard wine festival, this is a truly wonderful event. The Rhine in Flames is completed with four separate firework displays, each illuminating the river with a dazzling display of light and colour around the Rheinfels, Katz and Maus Castles.

Cancellation policy

You may cancel your hotel break at any time, but if you do so you will have to pay us cancellation charges based on a scale. These charges are to compensate us for the risk of not being able to re-sell your accommodation. When you cancel you must inform us or your travel agent in writing and your cancellation only takes effect from the date we or your travel agent receive your notice in writing, signed by the person who made the booking, together with any travel tickets or vouchers we may already have sent you. Please note that if only part of a booking is cancelled this may mean that the accommodation booked will be under occupied and may result in the remaining guests having to pay any applicable supplements, e.g. changing a twin room to a single.
