KD Day Cruises

About

KD, the White Fleet of the Rhine, has been ferrying travelers along Germany’s most iconic waterway for more than 185 years. With a modern fleet of 14 vessels, the company offers an extensive menu of cruises that range from short, scenic city‑to‑city routes to full‑day adventures featuring on‑board meals, shore excursions, and themed entertainment. Guests can book classic sightseeing tours, rail‑style cruise‑ships with panoramic decks, and lively party cruises that showcase fireworks, music, and gourmet dining. For those looking for a more flexible experience, KD’s voucher shop sells value‑based gift cards that can be redeemed for any cruise, dining, or special event on board. Operating from Cologne’s historic dock, passengers enjoy 7‑day seasonal schedules that highlight the natural beauty of the Rhine, Main, and Mosel valleys as well as the cultural highlights of nearby cities. Service hours on the website reflect the real‑world hours, with daily opening times of 8:30 am‑4:30 pm from Tuesday to Friday, and 9:00 am‑4:30 pm on Mondays. All contact information, including telephone and e‑mail, is readily available, and ticket purchasing is streamlined through the "Tickets kaufen" (Buy Tickets) section of the site. Whether you’re exploring the romantic Middle Rhine, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for a relaxing day on the water, KD combines a rich heritage with modern amenities, making each voyage a memorable part of any Rhine‑region itinerary.
