Antonia

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 stylish new building will set new standards in comfort and elegance from 2021. A tasteful, warm ambience and a sporty, elegant atmosphere prevail on board. The large rooms are flooded with light, stylish, but not overloaded. There is a comfortable panoramic lounge and the lobby with reception. The ship offers space for 190 guests on 4 passenger decks and a total length of 135 meters.
