Köln-Düsseldorfer Deutsche Rheinschiffahrt

There's something adventurous about stepping onto the swaying boarding bridge to come aboard. It's the start of a journey to new shores, a panoramic cruise past the sights of the cathedral city, or a memorable experience at the blue hour, before the night descends over Cologne with its sparkling, colorful lights.

With the KD fleet, you have a wide range to "explore" Cologne and its surroundings by ship – and how far you want to venture from Cologne's city center: whether just to the Rheinauhafen, to the medieval town of Zons  or to the legendary Siebengebirge and the Lorelei in the beautiful Rhine Valley. Particularly imaginative and laid-back: the lounge evening cruises on board with music, cocktails, Kölsch, and plenty of panoramic views in the evening light.
