Schoenes Wochenende + KD Line?

I know the K-D line will accept some German railpass tickets to board
their ships. Is the Schoenes Wochenende one of those tickets that are
accepted? If not, where is a list or explanation of the tickets/passes
which ARE accepted? I'm trying to figure out the least expensive means
of getting to Bingen/Ruedesheim from Koeln and taking the boats to
Koblenz, then getting back to Koeln.

Thanks.

Actually, as I recall, some of the ships go all the way to Köln. And
while I don't know about the Schönes Wochenende ticket, I seem to
recall(again, it's been a good while) using a GerRail Pass on a ship.

Yeah they do go all the way to Koeln, but unfortunately I don't have
enough time to take that entire cruise, so I'm going to focus on the
Mittelrhein portion of the ride. When you say GerRail pass, are you
talking about the "minimum 4 days pass" from dBahn? Those start at 180
EUR (2nd class) -- versus the 37 EUR Schoenes Wochenende. The KD
ticket by itself for Bingen-Koblenz is 28.20 EUR (and a one-way dBahn
ticket Koeln-Bingen looks like it starts at 29 EUR, 2nd class...
that's starting to add up!)

Oh, that's definitely the best part! 8-)

I haven't used anything but a Flexi-pass for years, actually. I use
it for days when I'm traveling some distance and buy individual tickets
for short bits. I don't recall what I used for a train/ship
combination; it's been some time.
