For IBTM, KD and Oceandiva proudly present a unique partnership that combines 200 years of maritime expertise with innovative floating event concepts. As part of UNITED WATERWAYS, Europe's leading portfolio of premium passenger shipping and event companies, both brands combine their strengths to deliver exceptional event experiences on the water.

Founded in 1826, KD celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2026. Over the past two centuries, the company has evolved from a traditional Rhine shipping operator into one of Europe's leading providers of charter and event solutions on the Rhine, Main and Moselle. With a versatile fleet of 15 vessels, including several state-of-the-art event ships accommodating up to 1,650 guests, KD creates exceptional venues for conferences, corporate events, product launches, floating hotels and exclusive client experiences along the Rhine, Main and Moselle.

Oceandiva complements this heritage with a forward-thinking vision on events. Its premium floating event venues accommodate 100 to 1,500 guests and combine the vibrant energy of the city with the freedom of the water. The fully customisable ships provide a true blank canvas for conferences, award ceremonies, brand activations, dinners and celebrations. As the operator of the world's first 100% electrically powered event ship, awarded the prestigious Green Award Platinum, Oceandiva continues to set new standards in sustainable event hospitality.

Together, KD and Oceandiva offer an unparalleled portfolio of floating event venues, combining prime waterfront locations, outstanding accessibility, modern event technology, flexible venue concepts and full-service hospitality. Whether it's an exclusive charter, a major corporate event or a fully tailored brand experience, clients benefit from centuries of maritime excellence combined with Oceandiva's pioneering approach to bespoke events.
