The cabins are tastefully furnished in a stylish, individual atmosphere with many amenities. The first coffee of the day, freshly brewed with the in-room espresso machine, can be enjoyed privately in the cabin or on the balcony. The cabin design is bright, friendly, and timelessly modern.

With Mein Schiff® Premium Inclusive services, nearly all food and beverages in the restaurants, bars, and bistros are included in the cruise fare. A wide range of sports options, use of the wellness area and saunas, onboard entertainment, childcare, German-speaking tour guidance, and gratuities are also included. This makes budgeting easy – allowing guests to fully enjoy the personalised service and signature Mein Schiff feeling.
