Advent

Winter deck

Cologne's new favorite spot for magical winter moments

© KD Deutsche Rheinschiffahrt GmbH

Outdoors. Real. Special.
Our new location for wintertime:
KD Event ship MS RheinVision – directly in front of Cologne's old town.

Come aboard during Advent and treat yourself to a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and the Christmas markets. Our cozy winter deck awaits you on our covered open deck, offering arguably the best view of the Cologne Cathedral and the Rhine. Enjoy winter favorites and drinks at our food and beverage stands. From mulled wine and Hot Berry Lillet to Kölsch beer, from currywurst and warm cheese and herb pull-apart bread to chocolate cookies. A true insider tip for anyone wanting to experience Advent in Cologne in a unique way with family, friends, or colleagues.
