Unfortunately, too little was said about Cologne and the buildings on the Rhine and the tape announcement was very quiet. So that you couldn't understand anything in many places. Otherwise the trip was good

The Dchiff, also the service was very nice. We were on board with 2 people from Cologne and one from Münster. We had specifically chosen this trip because there would be a landing stage in Rodenkirchen. This was not the case, the ship turned around in front of the Rodenkirchen bridge and headed back towards the city. It can be assumed that there was a state visit by ship on this day of all days. They should have known that, I would have organized something else. Too bad.

We really enjoyed the trip on the ship, it was relaxed and nice, the waiter was very polite. The voice from the tape describing the surroundings could have been a tick louder, it was a bit drowned out by the volume level on board (we were sitting outside).
