VistaDiamond from 1AVista Reisen : Everything you need to know
The VistaDiamond has been sailing on Europe’s rivers since 2006. Before the ship enters service with 1AVista Reisen from 2027, it will undergo partial refurbishment during the winter of 26/27.
Thanks to its unique design, in which the engine and passenger areas are separated, the ship is particularly quiet and vibration-free. All decks are accessible only via stairs, which is why the VistaDiamond is not wheelchair accessible.

VistaDiamond staterooms
In total, the VistaDiamond has 85 staterooms, each accommodating maximum two people. The staterooms are spread across three decks, and most feature a French balcony.
Standard amenities in all staterooms include individually controlled air conditioning, a mini-refrigerator, a safe, a TV, a telephone, a hair dryer, and a private bathroom with a shower and toilet.
The beds can be arranged together as a double bed or separately, depending on your preference.
For solo travelers, outside staterooms with portholes on the main deck or with French balconies on the middle and upper decks can be booked for a small surcharge.
The outside staterooms with portholes are located on the lowest deck, the main deck. The staterooms are approximately 14–15 square meters in size, and unfortunately, the windows cannot be opened due to the stateroom’s location.
The outside staterooms with French balconies are located on the middle and upper decks. These are the same size as the staterooms on the main deck. The main feature of these staterooms is the large floor-to-ceiling windows, which you can open. Here, you’ll feel especially close to the scenery and the water.
At the start of the cruise, guests in the outside staterooms and suites on the upper deck will receive a delicious fruit platter and a bottle of sparkling wine as a welcome gift.
The four suites are located midship on the upper deck and measure approximately 20 square meters. This provides a bit more space and a cozy living area. In addition, the bathrooms feature marble finishes. Of course, the suites also feature a French balcony.
Atmosphere on board the VistaDiamond
Most passengers quickly feel at home in the warm, relaxed and friendly atmosphere on board. As the ship is small, you’ll soon get to know your fellow passengers.
In keeping with the atmosphere, there is no strict dress code, although smart, well-presented clothing is preferred. For the festive farewell dinner, a slightly more smart-casual look is welcome.
VistaDiamond restaurants, bars & lounges
On board the VistaDiamond, there is one restaurant which is located at the front of the middle deck. It serves good European cuisine with vegetarian options.
You usually start the day with a varied breakfast. Multi-course meals are served at lunchtime and in the evening. In the afternoon, tea, coffee and cake are served. If you feel peckish later in the evening, there is also a late-night snack.
Drinks are included from 8 am to midnight, both in the restaurant and in the bar.
On the upper deck, you can visit the Panorama Salon and the bar within it. Through the large panoramic windows, you’ll enjoy a fantastic 270-degree view. The Panorama Salon is complemented by a small outdoor area, the bow terrace.
VistaDiamond entertainment, sports & wellness
The entertainment programme takes place mainly in the beautiful, light-filled Panorama Salon. You can find details of the events in the daily programme. For example, themed evenings and quiz nights are organised, or you can enjoy live music and talks.
You can also borrow books on the upper deck or play board and card games with fellow passengers.
