Kohlparty “All-inclusive” on the Weser – Carefree Celebration

A northern German tradition with great atmosphere – and everything included: kale meal, drinks and a party with DJ.

The Kohlfahrt (kale walk) is part of Bremen just as the Weser is. With our all-inclusive Kohlparty, we provide the sociable setting for the hours after the walk: good food, music and dancing on board – carefree from start to finish. Perfect for kale walks with friends, colleagues or club groups.

Indulgence and Tradition: The Kale Menu

After your kale walk, you come on board and the evening begins with a welcome schnapps to warm up. We serve a hot soup at the table first, before you can help yourselves at the generous buffet with kale and Pinkel sausage. The menu is rounded off in classic style with Rote Grütze (red berry pudding) and vanilla sauce.

For guests who don't care for kale or who eat vegetarian or vegan, alternatives are available (please order in advance).

Drinks Without a Bar Tab

With the all-inclusive option, selected drinks are included in the price – from beer and wine through long drinks to soft drinks and hot beverages. You enjoy the evening without a menu, without a bill and without queueing at the bar.

Party on Board: Music, Dancing and Good Spirits

After the meal, the DJ takes over and provides plenty of atmosphere with current hits and beloved party classics. Dancing, celebrating and having fun together – just as a Kohlparty should be.
