KD Köln-Düsseldorfer · Cochem

Two hours on the Moselle at dusk

KD's MS Moselprinz leaves the Cochem promenade in the evening for two hours on the Moselle, with lounge music from a DJ on the open deck. Pick it if the one-hour loop feels too much like sightseeing and you'd rather have a drink on the river.

KD Evening Lounge Cruise

About this experience

This is the KD boat after hours. Same ship as the daytime panorama trip, the MS Moselprinz, same pier in front of the KD ticket office, but twice as long and with the commentary swapped for lounge music from a DJ. The listing says the music plays weather permitting, and food and drink are for sale on board.

It doesn't sail every evening. It's a summer special, and one ticket reseller shows it on the first and third Saturday of the month, so check the calendar before you build an evening around it. With KD's 2026 season over, the next chance is in the 2027 season, which runs from 27 March to 17 October.

Keep expectations right. This is two relaxed hours with music and the riverfront lights, not a party boat and not a tour. If it's cold or wet, the open deck loses its point; a bad forecast is a good reason to move your date while free cancellation still applies (up to 24 hours before, per the listing).

  • Two hours on the river, twice the daytime loop
  • DJ lounge music on the open deck (weather permitting)
  • Cochem's riverfront and the Reichsburg in evening light
  • Drinks and snacks to buy on board

Tips before you book

  • Check the date before anything else. The lounge cruise runs on selected summer evenings, not every night.
  • Bring a layer. It's an open-deck trip and the river cools fast after sunset, even in July.
  • Eat in town before or after: the listing has food for sale on board, not a dinner.
  • Book this one ahead. There's one sailing on a given evening, unlike the hourly daytime boats.
