All cabins are similar in size (except for two suite rooms) and are handsomely appointed with built in closets, desk, shower and toilet, telephone, audio entertainment center and color TV. Each features a large picture window. Hairdryers are provided in the bathrooms and terry robes are available upon request. Bedding is European style duvets with feather pillows and eider downs (synthetic materials available upon request).

    The vessel features six meals daily (Breakfast, Morning Bouillon, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner and Midnight Snack). All meals are single seating with evening meals up to nine courses on selected nights. Additionally, there is a Panorama lounge, 2 bars, gift shop, beauty salon, library, safe-deposit boxes as well as an infirmary with a qualified doctor on board. The Sun deck offers plenty of deck chairs and blankets if needed. Captain's Welcome and Captain's Farewell Receptions are provided as well as nightly entertainment and dancing. There is one crew member for every 2.5 passengers providing about the best crew to passenger ratio of any river vessel. This allows for a high level of service as well as sumptuous food, served course by course for the evening meal. English language announcements, menus and daily programs are provided.
