Spirit of the Moselle
New in 2025: The latest addition to our fleet
It is one of the best first-time experiences you can try, sailing away on a shiny new ship!
Spirit of the Moselle is the newest addition to our growing fleet of purpose-built river cruise ships. She promises the same levels of comfort, service and value as her sisters Spirit of the Rhine and Spirit of the Danube, taking you into the heart of Europe in 2025.
Built exclusively for Saga guests, with a strong focus on bright, spacious surroundings, she comes complete with a wealth of facilities. On board guests can enjoy amenities such as speciality dining, a splash pool and a choice of comfortable cabins.
For her inaugural year, Spirit of the Moselle will sail on the Main and Rhine rivers through to destinations such as Nuremberg, Frankfurt, Bamberg and the UNESCO-protected Rhine Gorge. With excursions included on every cruise, you’ll be able to explore more of the river as she stops off at fascinating destinations along the way.
Exclusively for you
Every feature of Spirit of the Moselle has been designed for Saga guests. This includes a panoramic lounge and bar, a small library and fitness area. There is also a shaded sun deck with splash pool – ideal for enjoying the passing scenery – and there will also be a lower sun terrace for when the sun deck is closed.
I’m looking forward to welcoming guests onboard for the first time in 2025 to enjoy the levels of service, value and exceptional experiences our guests have come to expect from Saga.

Light spacious cabins
Carrying up to 172 guests, Spirit of the Moselle will have 92 cabins, of which 73 will have a French Balcony and an average floor plan of 17 square metres. Cabins on the lower deck are 14 square metres with a high-level window. There is a large number of single cabins too, giving all guests plenty of choice.
Spirit of the Moselle’s design has been inspired by what our previous guests have told us. It is wonderful to make their feedback a reality and see this beautiful ship take shape. I am sure they will fall in love with her as much as I have already.

Dining
The ship’s main Panoramic restaurant will serve buffet breakfasts and lunches, with waiter-served fine dining in the evening. A more intimate speciality dining restaurant, Beilstein – meaning 'Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle' – is perfect for special occasions. Like our other purpose-built ships, it will be free to dine in this speciality restaurant, and you will be able to book on board.
The Spirit of Moselle will continue the same high quality river cruising while allowing us to explore a wider range of rivers.
