The day-trip boats along the Rhein are perfect for a romantic afternoon in the region's capital. There is a trip for just about everyone; including the 'nostalgic route' with its panoramic views, or 'a trip into the blue'. The fact that all drinks on board are completely free is also a bonus.

Aside from that there are always live music acts or events to take part in on the ships. A real treat is the 'Tatort Dinner' where alongside your dinner, you can experience a live version of one of Germany's best detective TV series and assist in the investigation and resolution of a gruelling crime.

You can also book a table at one of the many dinner musicals or the 'Kölner Lichter' (Cologne lights) and view the pyrotechnic highlight from the ship's deck. The white fleet has a programme to push anybody's buttons.
