Party trip
Carnival om Rhing
The popular party on the Rhine
Kölle Alaaf! During the fifth season, all of Cologne is upside down, and that also applies to the KD. Under the motto "Jeck an Deck", people party like crazy.
Best location, best music, best mood. The KD carnival parties have long been legendary and have become an integral part of the carnival calendar. Within sight of Cologne's Old Town, top DJs and chart-topping live acts get the revellers in the party mood on the KD party boats. When colorfully costumed revellers storm the beautifully decorated dance floors, a party atmosphere is guaranteed. Alaaf!
