About this experience
KD'S cruises start where Düsseldorf is at its liveliest, in the legendary Old Town. The one hour cruise on the Rhine is the perfect way to become acquainted with the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Whether you take a seat on the sundeck or in the saloon, a panorama cruise with KD through Düsseldorf is worthwhile in any weather. On board our comfortable ships you explore the city on the Rhine from the river, and that means that you enjoy views and insights which you do not have from any other angle. The Old Town, Palace Tower and Media Harbour seem to glide peacefully past, and almost incidentally you learn all kinds of facts about the turbulent history of the city, which was once a royal residence and which is now the political centre of North Rhine-Westphalia.
