Antonia

The German tour operator Phoenix Reisen was founded in 1973. In 1988 they started cruising the oceans with the charter of the ship Maxim Gorki. Starting as a pure ocean shipping company, Phoenix Reisen expanded its range in 1993 to include the popular river cruises. The four well-known ocean liners are now joined by more than 30 river ships as well as a few smaller ships for exceptional destinations. The shipping company is still in family hands and attaches great importance to a friendly and pleasant atmosphere aboard their ships.

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.
