Fireworks
KÖLNER LICHTER
KD a spectacular aerial fireworks display with a drone show aboard the KD
In 2027, the Cologne Lights will once again transform the cathedral city into a spectacular sea of light filled with sparks, colors, and emotions. The best view? Of course, it’s from the water—and that means, without a doubt, aboard the KD.
In 2027, hundreds of thousands of visitors will once again line the riverfront promenades, bridges, and ships to experience one of Europe’s most fascinating music-synchronized fireworks displays. No matter which of our packages you choose, you’ll enjoy an evening full of atmosphere, first-class entertainment, and unparalleled views of the sparkling spectacle over the Rhine.
