Cologne - Christmas on Rhine

The floating Christmas market on the Rhine in Cologne presents an alternative to traditional markets: on board the MS Wappen von Köln, you can browse for gifts and enjoy panoramic views of the old town in winter as you sip a mug of glühwein in complete comfort. Exciting events held on this and other ships include dinner shows, culinary Christmas tours to suit all tastes and a fantastic New Year's Eve party. Visit the KD Riverboats website for more details.
