Accommodation

The cabins aboard these modern ships are some of the most spacious examples in the river cruise industry, providing a comfortable and well-designed private area. A lot of space has been dedicated to the bathroom, making them the same size as you would expect to have in a stylish hotel room. Some staterooms feature private balconies, whilst those that don’t offer a picture window that opens so you can let the fresh air in.

Air-conditioning, bathroom products, flat-screen TVs and DVD players are all amongst the standard amenities and there is a twice-daily maid service to help keep your stateroom in ship shape. Single staterooms are also available on every ship to help those travelling solo avoid single supplements.
