Trips between Bonn and Königswinter Bonn passenger cruises are running again
Bonn · Passenger cruises in Bonn started up again on Thursday. Leisure cruises on the Rhine are available between Bonn and Königswinter. All passengers must be tested, vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19. More information about the cruises can be found here.
Normally, the cruise operator Bonner Personen Schifffahrt (BPS) starts up again at Easter time. But due to the pandemic situation, the city had to postpone the start again this year. Since Thursday, June 3, the fleet of cruisers including the "Rhine Princess", the event boat "Filia Rheni", the iconic "Moby Dick" and the event ship "Poseidon" have been running again, as board member Clemens Schmitz announced.
Operations will initially start with round trips between Bonn and Königswinter. The cruisers operate Fridays to Sundays and on holidays, departing from Bonn at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. respectively. If the incidence rate in Bonn is permanently below 50, the BPS will also commence with trips to Remagen, Linz, Koblenz and Cologne.
