This isn’t the newest ship in our fleet – but it’s a classic, and one our guests return to for its comfort, space and relaxed feel.

Rather than following minimalist trends, the ship has a more familiar, characterful feel – a space that feels well cared for and easy to settle into. From the moment you step into the light-filled atrium, with its open, airy lobby, there’s a clear sense of space and calm.

Across the ship, public areas have been designed with guest comfort in mind, from the lounge and bar to the restaurant, reception and fitness area. Materials such as warm woods, polished metals and glass are used with care, creating a timeless, balanced look that has been refreshed over time.

Up on the sun deck, there’s space to sit back and enjoy the ever-changing views, while cabins include thoughtful details that make relaxing on board simple and comfortable.

A small number of bicycles are also available – just ask at reception for more information.

At the end of the day, sit down to a carefully crafted four-course à la carte dinner featuring familiar dishes as well as soon-to-be favourites inspired by the destinations you visit.

The Sun Deck

The Sun Deck is a relaxed, easy-to-enjoy space designed with comfort in mind. A second staircase amidship (that's mid-ship to you and I) makes it simple to access, so you can come and go as you please.

Settle into a sun lounger and watch riverside life drift by, with shaded areas available for warmer days. There’s a small splash pool for a refreshing dip, as well as a putting green if you fancy something a little more active.

At the front of the ship, the terrace area offers open views over the river, with a direct line of sight into the wheelhouse where you can see the captain and crew at work. It’s a lovely spot to sit with a drink or a book and take in the passing scenery.

Please note: The Sun Deck is only accessible by stairs. 

The Diamond (Upper) Deck

The Diamond Deck is home to the main lounge and bar – a welcoming space where much of life on board gently unfolds.

With comfortable armchairs and sofas, it’s an easy place to settle in with a cup of tea or something from the bar while watching the river scenery pass by through the wide windows. The atmosphere is relaxed and sociable, whether you’re chatting with fellow guests or simply enjoying the view.

In the evenings, it becomes a natural place to gather after dinner, perhaps with a drink while listening to the ship’s pianist.

Also on this deck, the Riverview Kitchen offers an alternative dining setting. With its open kitchen and panoramic windows, it provides a more informal and intimate experience. You can dine indoors or, when the weather allows, out on the terrace.

The menu changes with the seasons, with dishes prepared by the chef for a small number of guests. This experience can be reserved on board at no extra charge.

The Ruby (Middle) Deck

The main restaurant is located on the Ruby Deck, offering a relaxed and welcoming setting for meals throughout your cruise.

Tables are arranged for smaller groups, creating a sociable yet comfortable dining experience, whether you’re sharing with others or enjoying a quieter table. Crisp linen, warm wood finishes and soft carpeting add to the calm, well-considered feel of the space.

Service is attentive and friendly, with the crew on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly, while the menu offers a varied selection of dishes to enjoy at your own pace – perhaps with a glass of wine from the onboard list.

The Emerald (Lower) Deck

On the Emerald Deck, you’ll find the ship’s fitness area – a practical space if you’d like to stay active during your time on board.

For something more relaxing, massages are available, offering a quiet moment to unwind and recharge.

It’s a calm, informal part of the ship, giving you the freedom to choose how you spend your time – whether that’s keeping moving or simply taking things easy.
