Spirit of the Rhine

Spirit of the Rhine was designed with our guests in mind. In the past we’ve chartered ships with varying style, size and facilities, but now we can offer the same boutique experience on board every ship.

Spirit of the Rhine was constructed at the Vahali Shipyards in Serbia in 2021 and set sail on her inaugural cruise later in the year. Her official naming ceremony took place in Arnhem in the Netherlands and was attended by her Godmother, broadcaster and journalist Dame Jenni Murray. Designed to the highest specification, Spirit of the Rhine has four passenger decks, can accommodate 182 passengers, and set the standard for our expanding fleet.

Accommodation

Over 75% of Spirit of the Rhine’s cabins have French balconies, looking out from the Middle and Upper decks. With floor-to-ceiling windows, they offer personal, private views of every destination. Cabins on the Lower deck are smaller and feature a small picture window, so they also have natural light. All cabins are equipped with a flat-screen television, a Bluetooth speaker with USB, tea and coffee-making facilities, a small fridge, hairdryer, telephone, safe, seating area bathrobes and slippers.

Decks
Dining

Spirit of the Rhine has two restaurants; the Panorama is the main restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the more intimate Rheinfels Restaurant is open for a light lunch or speciality dinner reservation. Alfresco barbecue dining is available on the outside terrace when the weather is fine. Every mealtime is a special event, often stretching to four or five courses.

Complimentary afternoon tea is served daily, and tea, coffee and biscuits are available whenever you choose from the self-service stations.

Entertainment

The Lorelei Lounge offers a light, sociable space where you can relax and watch the passing scenery through panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Other facilities include a small but well-stocked library, a bar and gym. Spirit of the Rhine is crowned with an extensive sundeck, complete with sun loungers, waiter-served drinks and a hot tub.

Health and fitness

There is a small fitness area on the lower deck.
