On the deck of the "Filia Rheni," the turquoise-blue paint is still drying, while new Kölsch beer glasses are being put away behind the counter in the passenger compartment. Preparations for the 2022 season are also underway on the other three ships run by Bonner Personen Schiffahrt (BPS).

Scheduled trips of BPS passenger boats to Königswinter, Unkel, Remagen and Linz start on Good Friday, April 15. Departures are at 9:50 a.m., 11:50 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from the banks of the Rhine in Bonn.

The BPS White Fleet includes the saloon ship "Rheinprinzessin", the event catamaran "Filia Rheni", the event ship "Poseidon" and the landmark "Moby Dick", named after the whale that was sighted in the Rhine in Bonn in 1966.

All of the vessels are run by family businesses in Bonn. Themed cruises are available and there is music and dancing as well as sunset parties. When it comes to the Beethoven excursions, culture is the main focus. The BPS offers many different cruises, and ticket sales have begun.
