It’s tapped! Experience Oktoberfest in a very special way – aboard the MS Rhein Star.

Mass mugs, waves, and madness await you as the party ship departs on Friday and Saturday, October 16 & 17, 2026, in Rüdesheim am Rhein. 

The Wiesn party on the water starts at 7:00 PM, with departure at 7:45 PM from Bridge 12, and arrival at 10:45 PM. Look forward to the genuine Oktoberfest atmosphere with a DJ, live program, endless mass mugs, and a party that continues until the anchor glows. This festival sounds, sparkles, and remains – an unforgettable event on the Rhine.

Better come in traditional costume: Dirndl or lederhosen are warmly welcomed. With a cool mass of beer in hand, you dive straight into the perfect Oktoberfest feeling. Music, dancing, beer, and an exuberant atmosphere combine to create a unique party that you’ll definitely not have experienced before. While you celebrate, you casually enjoy the fantastic view of the Rhine and the special atmosphere on the water. Together with friends and like-minded people, you party into the night – a perfect mix of tradition, fun, and scenery.
