Aurelia

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.

Recently refurbished the Aurelia is one of the most popular ships in the Phoenix fleet. The luxury class ship was built in Holland and operates in Holland and Belgium as well as on the Rhine, Main and Danube. The tastefully furnished staterooms, some with French balcony, the spacious lounges and the large sundeck with whirlpool offer you all the required comfort. At a length of 110 m the ship can accommodate up to 158 passengers.

Look forward to a rich breakfast buffet as well as delicious lunch and dinner in the form of multi-course meals. The well experienced kitchen and service team will spoil you on board the Aurelia with all the amenities that the kitchen has to offer. If you wish you can also participate in the afternoon coffee and midnight snack. In addition, there are theme nights, the captain's reception and the captain's dinner with a festive menu.

During the cruise, regular dance nights with live music await you. A selection of books, board and card games is at your disposal. Regional events such as folklore performances, language courses or lectures about the country and its people do not leave boredom on board.

Through a variety of shore excursions, you have the opportunity to get to know the country and it’s 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. Payment is on board.
