Bonner Personen Schiffahrt

The BPS is a cooperative with a long tradition. Since 1929, families have come together here to draw up joint schedules and support each other in times of crisis. In this way, the community of family businesses forms a unique association on the Rhine.

Each owner family gives their ship a personal flair and a special touch. There is always a representative of the family business on board for you to contact. Over time, the ships have become more comfortable, the catering more varied and the management more sustainable, and wherever possible we work with family businesses from the region.

The careful use of energy and fuel is not just a price issue for us, but has been part of our everyday work for years. Adapted travel times and mooring situations in scheduled services are just as much a part of this as switching off non-essential energy consumers - the generators are only used when necessary. Since 2018, our ships have been running on GTL, liquefied natural gas, which produces significantly fewer emissions than diesel and considerably reduces the consumption of lubricants, but we are also open to new drive systems and are constantly finding out about their feasibility.

As your host, we are always personally on board for you. Together with our long-standing employees on our ships and at the stations, we are fully committed to ensuring that you feel at home with us as our guests. With many years of experience, we are at your side to help you plan your event and will be happy to advise you.

All our ships are lovingly maintained and constantly modernized by their families. This enables us to offer you a level of equipment and comfort that is rarely found on board ships.

We look forward to welcoming you on board!
