Rhine Cruise with MS Alina

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 14-16 sqm outside staterooms are mostly equipped with a French balcony. The comfortable and elegant interior invites you to relax and recover. The beds can be set up as double or single beds. The deluxe staterooms have a double bed. All staterooms are equipped with shower/WC, a hairdryer, an individually controlled air conditioning, a TV, a radio, a minibar, a safe, a telephone and a daily newspaper.

The rooms are flooded with light, stylishly but not overloaded furnished and offer a pleasant ambience. The atmosphere on board is usually casual. For the classic captain's dinner, dressier attire is expected, but evening attire is not necessary here either. Live music and light entertainment will make your trip a successful vacation experience.

MS Alina offers you European dishes in two different restaurants. Thanks to the long, common table time and free choice of seats, you are free to decide whether you want to eat earlier or later.

The following restaurants are already included in the price:

• Main restaurant: The restaurant is spread over three levels and therefore offers plenty of space.
• Barbecue-Restaurant/Bistro: Experience a special culinary highlight at the stern of the Orion Deck.

In addition to the restaurants, bars and lounges (not included) round off the culinary offering. For example, meet up with fellow passengers in the light-flooded Panorama-Lounge or enjoy your favorite drink in the Lido-Bar.

Entertainment is well provided for on board the Alina in all areas. During the voyage you can look forward to regular dance evenings with live music. A selection of books, board and card games are available for your enjoyment. Shuffleboard and 4-hole miniature golf invite activities on deck. If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, the ship's wellness area is the place to be. Here, in addition to a sauna, steam bath and fitness area, a spacious sun deck with pool awaits you.

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. 

If you want to travel in an upscale but also family-like atmosphere, you are in the right place at Alina.
