Evening trip

Christmas all-inclusive evening cruise Cologne

Boat tour incl. buffet & drinks

© KD Deutsche Rheinschiffahrt GmbH

During the Advent season, we set sail from Tuesdays to Saturdays for our atmospheric evening cruises. Come on board and enjoy a sumptuous buffet with many culinary highlights.

During the holiday season, you should treat yourself! For example, an evening boat tour with KD. Festively decorated, the two event ships, the MS RheinFantasie and the MS RheinMagie, sparkle against the nighttime backdrop of Cologne’s Old Town. During the tour along the Rhine, a top-notch live band sets the mood, and of course, refreshments are provided. At our buffet, you can choose from salads, various appetizers, main courses with sides, and finally dessert. Beverages are served at your table—everything from red, white, and rosé wine to beer and soft drinks is included in the price. Celebrate the Advent season aboard the KD small or large group. A very popular event for Christmas parties as well. Of course, we’ll reserve a table or an entire table for your party.
