We went down the Mosel last summer and thoroughly enjoyed it, however children will probably be bored.
We stopped in Verdun on the way (small detour) and that is wll worth seeing.
We enjoyed the Mosel (twice) but we are boring old wrinklies . . . the kids would find it one long yawn I think, and if they are rebellious it won't do a lot for the family holiday!!
There are other areas of Germany with more to offer the youngsters, and the oldies as well. Have a look at a few websites like this http://www.romantic-germany.info/

Plenty going on in the Black Forest as well, lakes, mountains, activities, worlds largest Cuckoo clock!

Don't know whether you qualify but over 60's get 20% discount on the Newhaven route. It applies only if you book by phone or at the ports.
There's also the Frequent Traveller points.
Hmm, I have to say we planned on "doing" the Mosel in 2 weeks last Summer, it actually took 3 days! I suppose it depends on your taste, and the scenery is undeniably attractive, but we are happier in France, where we make sure we have access to swimming, easy wild camping and fishing, German fishing rules are odd to say the least !
We actually preferred the Rhine I think and lower down towards the Black Forest, there's a good stellplatz at Wangen, a very interesting town, equally we enjoyed Lake Constance and Lake Titisee.
Now there is a place. Lake Titisee. I first went there with my parents in the 80's when I was 15. I met a local girl there and we took off into the forest with a stack of cheap German wine and built a tree house! Happy days. I flipping loved it and returned in 2009 and this year in the van. Never found the girl though.
Plenty to do, a smashing lake for swimming in as well as a new huge indoor centre parks type pool complex nearyby. Great walking and biking in the hills. Its a little touristy and chocolate boxy but we love it.
Smashing Stellplatz outside one of the main lake side campsites £12 euros including use of the site facilities.
Lake Constance I agree is great but the German side is better than the Swiss and a trip to the Rhine falls is a must.

Germany's a great place for a family holiday. We've had many of them there - but as has been said, if you want to amuse kids, the Mosel is probably not the place for you. We've travelled extensively in Germany and love it, but I'd say the Mosel is probably one of our least favourite bits. We find it monotonous. OK for a stopover on the way to somewhere else. We've had excellent family holidays in the Black Forest, Bavaria and at Bodensee.

No, I've got quite a while to go before I qualify for the over 60 discount (although some days I definitely feel as though I'm there already).
Interested in the frequent travellers discount though, I shall have to investigate that!
Looks like the Mosel may have to wait until my youngest has gone to uni...
...oh well, there's always the Black Forest to think about. So what would be the best way of getting down to there from Dieppe then?
Can't help with the route, but if you're going to the Black Forest, Europapark Rust, north of Freiburg is a large theme park. Don't know what it's like these days, but our son used to enjoy it when he was a teenager. It's also worth looking out for signs to 'Sommerrodelbahn'. These are dry tabogan runs and great fun with teenagers.
You'll have a fab time. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip, looks like I'm gonna have to do a bit more research!
