Advent trip
Afternoon trip Advent KÖLN
River cruise in the cathedral city with Christmas spirit and Santa Claus on board

Enjoy an Advent excursion on the Rhine between Christmas shopping and baking cookies. Two atmospheric hours await you on board with us.
The smell of mulled wine and cinnamon is also in the air on board during the Advent season. But unlike at the Christmas markets and in the shopping streets of the city, things are wonderfully tranquil on our ships. With our Advent tours, we take you into calm waters, give you fantastic views of the illuminated old town of Cologne and spoil you with music and sweet delicacies. During the two hours on board, you can enjoy the Christmas spirit and look into the shining eyes of the children on board, because Santa Claus even comes on board with them.
