Anna Katharina

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 well-rehearsed kitchen and service team spoils you with all the amenities that the kitchen has to offer. On request, meals can also be prepared gluten-free, lactose-free or diabetic-friendly. Theme evenings, afternoon coffee or tea with cakes or pastries and a midnight snack round off the culinary offer on board the Anna Katharina. In addition, on many trips there is the traditional captain's reception and the captain's dinner with a festive menu. 

On board a selection of books, board and card games is available. Regular dance evenings with live music are offered. Also wellness lovers are in good hands on board. Sauna, steam bath and hairdressing area invite you to relax, while you can be active in the fitness area. The large sundeck offers a small pool, sun loungers, bar service and panoramic terrace, while the beautiful river landscape passes by.

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 comfortably and elegantly on the river and value a luxurious but familiar environment, you are exactly right on board the Anna Katharina.
