The Rhine River is simply omnipresent in Cologne—almost as much as the cathedral itself. That is why you should definitely take a Rhine River cruise.

At the same time, you will enjoy magnificent views of the city and the cathedral. There are many boat tours available on the Rhine in Cologne: harbor cruises, scenic cruises, and city tours.

On harbor cruises, you can marvel at massive container ships up close as they load their cargo, while scenic cruises pass by the cathedral and the Old Town, offering plenty of interesting facts about the city and Cologne Cathedral.

Especially if you have been doing a lot of walking around the city with your children, a boat tour is a great way to give your weary legs a rest while still getting to know a bit of the city.

Boat tours may depart from Piers 1, 2, 3, 4, or 7, operated by the company KD. The designated boarding point depends on the ship's positioning on any given day and is assigned by the tour operator for each specific date. Please check the information boards on-site or visit the KD passenger office (at Pier 7) for the most up-to-date information.
