Ship "MS Kelheim"
Ship ahoy: The fleet of the Stadler passenger shipping company shows all guests the fascinating river landscapes of the Danube and Altmühl.
On the modern passenger ships of the Stadler fleet, all guests can experience the most beautiful river landscapes of Bavaria: From Kelheim, the ships set off through the majestic Danube breakthrough to the Weltenburg Monastery or into the wildly romantic Altmühl Valley past ancient castles and fortresses towards Riedenburg - the pearl of the Altmühl Valley. A trip to the world heritage city of Regensburg is as charming as it is impressive. The steeply towering Jura rock massifs reveal bizarre shapes at the edge of the river. An event location of a special kind: In addition to the regular scheduled trips, Stadler Passenger Shipping also offers unforgettable theme and excursion trips on the "MS Kelheim" and the "MS Weltenburg", such as barbecue evenings with music, winter mulled wine or romantic fireworks trips. You can even get married on board. The barrier-free "MS Kelheim" is completely accessible without steps, from boarding to the sun deck. Since the ship has an elevator, it is ideally suited for people with limited mobility. It has barrier-free sanitary facilities. Visual contrasts facilitate orientation. The main deck with spacious corridors is air-conditioned.
