Notes: |
|
KD River Cruises of Europe began cruising the Rhine river in 1827, and over the years entered the Moselle, the waterways of Holland, the Main, Elbe, Saar, Neckar, and Danube. In 1826, 10 years after the first steamship to navigate the Rhine, the city fathers of Cologne established the Prussian Rhine Steamship Company of Cologne, forerunner of KD River Cruises of Europe. It was one of Germany’s first stock companies, shareholders being almost all townspeople of Cologne. For more than a century the Cologne Company operated ferries and freighters, first in competition with and later together with the Köln (Cologne) - Düsseldorfer Line or, for short, KD. It took another 114 years to become a single company, and later when it expanded to other rivers, the name changed to KD River Cruises of Europe. KD nowadays operates
almost 400 cruises on some of Europe’s most appealing waterways flowing
through Germany, Austria, Holland, Switzerland, Slovakia, Hungary, the
Czech Republic and France. During its long experience, KD has developed
and maintained meticulous standards of service that has become its
hallmark. KD is now part of Viking River Cruises, which also operates in
France and Russia.
