Day trip Düsseldorf - Cologne

Trip to the cathedral city

View of the cathedral and the old town from the ship

The Rhine connects the major cities of Düsseldorf and Cologne. Embark on a surprising tour by boat to the cathedral city. We serve a sumptuous brunch buffet on board.

When was the last time you traveled from Düsseldorf to neighboring Cologne? You can now experience the route by boat again. See for yourself how the Rhine winds its way to the cathedral city. On our day trip, we will take you to Cologne in comfort on the KD . Freshly fortified from the brunch buffet on board, we moor in the middle of Cologne's old town at 3.00 pm. Before we set sail again at 5 p.m. for the return journey, you will have the opportunity during your stay to discover the most important sights of the cathedral city or to stroll through the alleyways of the historic old town.
