Schängelschiff Koblenz – Carnival Night on the Rhine
Carnival ships on the Rhine and Moselle with DJ, dance groups, and live band Kabelbrand
About Schängelschiff
The Schängelschiff is a trademark of the AKK and utilizes Koblenz's unique location at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Instead of a classic ballroom event, the Carnival party takes place on a passenger ship that cruises the Rhine and Moselle during the event.
Concept
The Carnival ships are fully decorated and offer all the amenities of a Carnival party: dance floor, stage, several bars, seating areas, and a covered outdoor space. The program alternates between DJ sets, live performances by dance groups, and concerts by well-known Carnival bands.
Dates 2026
The 2026 series includes four Schängelschiff evenings:
- January 20: Themed evening 'Carnival on the Rhine and Moselle' — exclusively Carnival music.
- January 21: Mix evening with Carnival and party music.
- January 23: Additional Carnival evening.
- January 24: Additional Carnival evening to kick off the weekend.
Artists
Featuring DJ Jay Pee, the established dance group KG Grün-Weiß Urmitz, the dance group Black and White Löf, and the well-known live band Kabelbrand from Lahnstein, the 2026 program offers an attractive mix of DJ sets and live acts.
Schängelschiff — edition 2026
