We are one of Europe’s leading providers of event and charter solutions on the water. Based in Cologne and with a company history dating back to 1826, we combine maritime tradition with innovative event concepts at the highest level.

In 2026, we celebrate our 200th anniversary – a remarkable milestone that reflects our transformation from a traditional shipping company into a strong partner within the MICE and corporate events industry.

With a versatile fleet of around 15 vessels – including several state-of-the-art event ships with capacities of up to 1,650 guests – we offer exceptional and scalable venues for corporate events, conferences, product launches and exclusive client functions.

Our floating event locations on the Rhine, Main and Moselle create unique experiences in iconic destinations and open up new perspectives beyond traditional venues. From elegant gala events and dynamic networking formats to fully customized brand experiences, we provide flexible space concepts, modern event technology as well as comprehensive catering and service solutions from a single source.

A particular focus lies on tailor-made B2B solutions such as exclusive charter operations, floating hotels for trade fairs and individual event formats for national and international clients. Especially in the context of major exhibitions, we offer compelling alternatives to conventional venues – combining prime locations with outstanding views of the Rhine metropolises and close proximity to key event hubs.

For almost two centuries, we have shaped passenger shipping on the Rhine and have established ourselves today as a market leader in event and MICE solutions on the water.

We stand for exceptional event experiences, reliable execution and the perfect combination of tradition, innovation and hospitality.
