Danube Cruise with MS Prinzessin Isabella

The tour operator and cruise provider Phoenix Reisen was founded in 1973 and is specialized in high-quality river and ocean cruises. The portfolio includes not only classic river trips, e.g. on the Danube, the Rhine and the Volga, but also exotic routes such as cruises in South America, the Orient or the South Seas. Due to the small ship sizes with capacities of 150 to 1200 passengers, there is a family atmosphere on board. During the cruise you can enjoy high-quality dishes, from the maritime fish buffet to grilled specialties to desserts and cakes. Phoenix Reisen also offers special arrangements for wedding couples, birthday children or other anniversaries and celebrations.

The twin-plus staterooms on the Saturn deck are comfortably half a deck above the other staterooms and equipped with a French balcony. Depending on the category, the staterooms are between 14 and 21 sqm. The staterooms have a shower/WC (suites with bath/WC), a hairdryer, an individually adjustable air conditioning (suites with a minibar and coffee machine), a TV, a radio, a safe, a telephone and a daily newspaper. 

As on all Phoenix ships, the atmosphere on board the Prinzessin Isabella is cosy and informal with a classic touch. The dress code on board is casual. At the traditional captain's dinner a more elegant wardrobe is expected, but evening wear is not needed. Regional events, live music and light entertainment make your trip an all-round successful river experience. 

Look forward to a rich breakfast buffet every morning to start the day. Lunch and dinner are served in the form of multi-course menus. The light-flooded Panorama-Restaurant is already included in the price and offers you sophisticated European dishes at a shared table time. The spacious Aussichtslounge with bar and dance floor (not included) rounds off the culinary offer.

On board a selection of books, board and card games is available. Regular dance evenings with live music are offered in the viewing lounge with bar and dance floor. For quiet moments on board, you can relax on the sundeck and enjoy the passing river landscape of the Danube or retire to the library with a good book. For more active guests, the on-board fitness room offers the opportunity to exercise and keep fit while you are on vacation. 

Through a variety of shore excursions, you have the opportunity to get to know the country and its people along the route. The excursion program is adapted to the length of stay of the ship and is accompanied by qualified tour guides. The excursions are usually in German language. The shore excursions can be booked directly on board or partly in advance online at the shipping company. At some cruises a variety of shore excursions is already included.

If you want to explore the Danube region by boat, with great emphasis on comfort and fine cuisine, you are just right on board the Prinzessin Isabella.
