The cruise starts in D\u00fcsseldorf and sails up the Rhine to the cathedral city of Cologne, the wine town of R\u00fcdesheim and through the Romantic Rhine to Koblenz, where we spend New Year&#039;s Eve. Here we celebrate the turn of the year with a New Year&#039;s Eve dinner and a glass of sparkling wine at midnight. On New Year&#039;s Day we sail back to D\u00fcsseldorf. A calm and festive way to begin the new year, with time for both good company on board and experiences ashore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c2g-highlights has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list c2g-checklist\"><li>New Year&#039;s Eve in Koblenz with dinner on board<\/li><li>Sparkling wine at midnight<\/li><li>Cologne, R\u00fcdesheim and the Romantic Rhine<\/li><li>6-day river cruise on MS Leonora<\/li><li>All meals on board<\/li><li>English-speaking staff on board<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped c2g-gallery wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" data-id=\"134\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/nytaar-leonora-1024x659.jpg\" alt=\"MS Leonora ved kaj om aftenen med fyrv\u00e6rkeri p\u00e5 himlen\" class=\"wp-image-134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/nytaar-leonora-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/nytaar-leonora-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/nytaar-leonora.jpg 1380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"135\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/champagne-glasses-1940497_1920-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"To glas mousserende vin og et stjernekaster\" class=\"wp-image-135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/champagne-glasses-1940497_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/champagne-glasses-1940497_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/champagne-glasses-1940497_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"782\" data-id=\"136\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/cologne-cathedral-1881306_1920-1024x782.jpg\" alt=\"K\u00f6lner Dom og Hohenzollernbroen med fyrv\u00e6rkeri\" class=\"wp-image-136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/cologne-cathedral-1881306_1920-1024x782.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/cologne-cathedral-1881306_1920-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/cologne-cathedral-1881306_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-id=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/hohenzollern-bridge-2204898_1920-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"K\u00f6ln med domkirken og Hohenzollernbroen ved aftentid\" class=\"wp-image-133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/hohenzollern-bridge-2204898_1920-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/hohenzollern-bridge-2204898_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/hohenzollern-bridge-2204898_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"dagsprogram\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c2g-itinerary has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><span><strong>Day 1<\/strong>Embarkation, D\u00fcsseldorf<\/span><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you arrive on MS Leonora, the ship&#039;s cruise manager welcomes you in the lounge and goes through safety procedures and practical information.
