Oktoberfest Partyschiff Rüdesheim "Trachtrausch"

It's time to tap! Experience Oktoberfest in a very special way – aboard the MS Rhein Star.

Mass tankards, waves, and madness await you when the party ship sets sail on Friday and Saturday, October 16 & 17, 2026, in Rüdesheim am Rhein. 

Starting at 7:00 p.m., the Wiesn party on the water begins, with departure at 7:45 p.m. from Bridge 12, and arrival at 10:45 p.m. Look forward to authentic Oktoberfest vibes with a DJ, live program, endless mass tankards, and a party that lasts until the anchor glows. This festival sounds, shines, and lingers – an unforgettable event on the Rhine.

It’s best to come in traditional attire: Dirndl or lederhosen are expressly welcome. With a cool mass of beer in hand, you dive directly into the perfect Oktoberfest feeling. Music, dance, beer, and a lively atmosphere come together for a unique party that you definitely haven't experienced before. While you celebrate, you can also enjoy the fantastic view of the Rhine and the special atmosphere on the water. Together with friends and like-minded people, you will celebrate into the night – a perfect mix of tradition, fun, and panorama.
