About This Tour
We will take you on a little “educational trip” where you can explore places in Cologne that would normally be closed to you. Discover the ports of Cologne during the ship tour! The tour highlights the history of the Rheinauhafen, provides insights into the Deutzer Hafen and Mülheimer Hafen and takes you to the Niehl I container port. During the boat trip, our city guides will tell you interesting facts, anecdotes and all sorts of exciting stories about the people of Cologne live on board Ports. Find out everything you need to know, for example about trade, trade and stacking law, the importance of the Rhine and shipping traffic in different eras, architecture or use and capacity, as well as the technology of cranes and “trolleys”. Our guests are enthusiastic about this extraordinary Rhine tour... and you will certainly be too.
