About the location:

The MS Karlsruhe - your event location on the Rhine

The MS Karlsruhe is more than just a passenger ship - it is a floating event location with a unique flair. From her home port of Karlsruhe, she will take you and your guests to unforgettable experiences on the Rhine: whether towards Strasbourg, to the Iffezheim barrage, to Germersheim or Speyer - or on an exclusive 2 to 3.5-hour round trip directly from Karlsruhe.

Following a comprehensive renovation and technical modernization in summer 2024, the MS Karlsruhe shines in new splendour and offers the perfect backdrop for business events, incentives, celebrations and industry meetings. A stylish atmosphere, extraordinary perspectives and the special experience of a cruise on the Rhine are combined on board - a setting that makes every event unforgettable.

Use the entire evening for an active exchange.
