Hochfelden is a Moselle River (Marne-Rhine Canal) barge cruise port and a small town (population around 4,000) located in France's Bas-Rhin department (Grand Est region/fka Alsace). The town is located on the Rhine-Marne Canal (Canal de la Marne au Rhin) - an artificial waterway used mostly by recreational boaters and luxury hotel barges. The 314-km (195-mi) long Marne-Rhine Canal connects Marne River (Vitry-le-Francois) to Rhine River (in Strasbourg).
Hochfelden is best-known for the Brasserie Meteor (beer brand) brewed and sold here. As barge cruise port, Hochfelden is included in the schedule of one of the world's largest river cruise companies - CroisiEurope. For summer 2021 season, the company had one hotel barge with planned visits to Hochfelden.
