Marylou

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.

Built in 1953, Marylou offers guests the very special charm of a classic river ship. With a length of almost 40 m and a width of about 5 m, it is very family-friendly for the maximum of 16 passengers on 2 passenger decks. On board you can discover the beautiful Spreewald with its fantastic landscapes and at the same time relax in a pleasant atmosphere, whereby the small number of passengers allows a very personal service.

All approx. 11 sqm outside staterooms on board the MS Marylou are approx. 11 sqm in size, each equipped with a small window that can be opened. The furnishings and the design are functional and maritime. In addition, the staterooms have a shower/WC and an adjustable air conditioning. The voltage is 230 V AC.

As on all Phoenix ships, the atmosphere on board the MS Adora is cozy and informal. Due to the rather sporty atmosphere on board, you can easily dress casually. A trip with the MS Marylou means a particularly personal experience. The small size and number of passengers make it possible to quickly make new contacts and enjoy the trip together in good company..

Look forward to a rich breakfast buffet and tasty lunch and dinner menus with regional and seasonal specialties. On request, meals can also be prepared gluten-free, lactose-free or diabetic-friendly. In this case, advance notification is necessary (possibly for a fee). A free coffee and tea service is available during the day. In the afternoon, pastries are at your free disposal.

On the sundeck, which is equipped with garden furniture, it is great to relax and soak up the sun. The salon also offers the perfect opportunity to review the experiences with a drink.

Through a variety of shore excursions, you have the opportunity to get to know the country and its people along the river. The excursion program is adapted to the berthing times 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 online in advance. You can pay cash on board. Girocard or credit cards are not accepted.

A trip with the Marylou is ideal for guests who like to travel in a relaxed atmosphere off the major waterways.
