The cruise was very easy to find, Google maps took you to the exact location. Ticket scanning, simple and straightforward. Lots of room to sit down even with it being full. Table service was great, attentive although a QR code would also be favourable in the future. Boat was lovely, decorated really well and we had the best experience. The singer/piano player was fab. He was entertaining, so full of energy and made the experience feel very personal. Loved it, got to see Cologne at dusk, very pretty.

All you want for Christmas

Christmas knocks on your door earlier this festive season with the Cologne Advent cruise. If you’re in Cologne and want to see the city dressed to the nines in Christmas colors, this cruise is for you. With pleasant live musicians humming Christmas tunes or DJs pumping you up with Christmas jams to break a leg to, you’re in for a treat.

Rock around Cologne’s Christmas trees

The sound of bells ringing in the distance, the spires of Cologne Cathedral peeking through the clouds, and the sight of Christmas decorations at the Old Market will make you feel like it’s the 25th. Catch sight of the Rhine Bridges, early winter picnics unfolding at the Rhine Park, and the pastel houses rearing their heads in front of the Church of St. Martin. Buy a snack, drink, or cake from the bar on board, get cozy on the heated decks, and hum along Christmas carols as the merriment takes over.
