MS Jules Verne
The new location for exclusive events
There is no standing still at Köln-Düsseldorfer Deutsche Rheinschiffahrt GmbH.
With the new addition of the MS Jules Verne, a modern event ship with a futuristic design and striking lines, the company is even more efficient and flexible. It is named after the visionary French writer Jules Verne, who lived from 1828 to 1905. His best-known works include the novels "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "Around the World in 80 Days".
With its modern flair and impressive glass facades, the event ship is a real eye-catcher on the water. The main deck is equipped with modern surround sound technology, atmospheric lighting and a stylish lounge ambience. Weather permitting, the open-air deck offers space for relaxed meetings, interesting meetings or dignified receptions in the open air. These advantages make the MS Jules Verne a special location for events and exclusive charter trips. The ship complements KD 's high-performance event fleet with the established ships MS RheinMagie, MS RheinFantasie, MS RheinGalaxie, MS RheinVision, MS RheinHarmonie and MS RheinPoesie.
Tailor-made offers
The KD Event Team offers a tailor-made package for every event. From the initial idea through to implementation, always in close consultation with the customer. This applies equally to Christmas or company celebrations, business events, company anniversaries, gala dinners or private parties. The catering concepts, which are tailored to the customer's wishes, are also individual. Sophisticated buffets are just as possible as live cooking and multi-course menus. The technical implementation of every event is also taken care of: KD s own event technology supplies professional technology to the latest standards and, on request, takes care of the appropriate entertainment program. In this way, KD guarantees its customers perfect implementation and all-round support from a single source
MS Jules Verne as a new event location in Frankfurt
MS Jules Verne is primarily used for charter trips on the Rhine between Duisburg
and Mainz as well as in Frankfurt on the Main. The event ship is almost 76 meters long and 9.60 meters wide and offers around 800 square meters of space for a maximum of 600 people. The recommended number of passengers is 150 to 300.
Dinner Moments
In addition to charter operations, KD also organizes its own exclusive KD events on board. The first official deployment will be an evening cruise as part of the "Rhine in Flames in Bonn" event on the first weekend in May, where MS Jules Verne and
MS RheinMagie will be part of the convoy of ships that will form up in the Siebengebirge and then sail towards Bonn. Under the heading "Dinner Moment Special", guests will be treated to Japanese fireworks as part of the Culture and Encounter Festival in Düsseldorf. "Dinner Moment" is a new culinary offering that stages real moments of pleasure on board the MS Jules Verne. The evenings with a seasonal 4-course menu plus aperitif and optional wine accompaniment with wines from KD winegrowers Lisa Bunn and Tobias Rickes are offered on selected dates in Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf.
Central own berths in the heart of the cities
KD is present from Düsseldorf to Mainz as well as in Frankfurt and on the Moselle in Cochem and Bernkastel-Kues. The central, attractive location of the KD in the heart of the cities is a decisive factor for organizers and guests. As the market leader on the Rhine, the long-established company has a total of more than 60 of its own landing stages.
