Spend two hours cruising Cologne’s Rhine at sunset, passing the cathedral, Romanesque churches, bridges, and historic riverfront. Choose an open-deck chair or a window seat below, listen to live lounge or DJ music, and buy drinks and snacks from the onboard bar. There is no regular landmark commentary.

“We enjoyed the 2 hour river cruise with an 8pm start time. The sun set a little after 9, so we were able to experience both daylight and night. Our boat had a large open top with lots of tables and seating, as well as a large covered area down below with plenty of windows. There is a bar on each level with quick service and decent prices. They played dance/house music on both levels which was fun. There is no narration or tour guide to point out the sites - just the music. The views are not amazing, but pleasant, and if the weather is nice a 2 hour…”
