Spirit of the Rhine

We designed Spirit of the Rhine with our customers in mind, relying on over three decades of experience in the cruise industry. Spirit of the Rhine is our first purpose-built ship and led the way for the design of future ships. She will predominantly cruise on the Rhine but also offers itineraries on the Dutch and Belgian waterways.

“Having our own purpose-built ships allows us to guarantee the things that are important to our guests.”

Head of River Cruise hotel operations, Lorraine Friend

Unique décor

Spirit of the Rhine’s interior design focuses on the river’s legends, such as Lorelei and Rheinfels Castle – a special commission of the castle painted by Sunga Park is exhibited in Rheinfels Restaurant. In the Lorelei Lounge you can see a 3D depiction of butterflies landing on ‘the Lorelei book’ by Lisa Haftel, while the ship’s corridors showcase delicate butterfly wing patterns by Lauri Dunn.

Spacious public spaces

The Lorelei Lounge offers a light, sociable space where you can relax and watch the passing scenery through panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Other facilities include a small but well-stocked library, a bar and gym. Spirit of the Rhine is crowned with an extensive sundeck, complete with sun loungers, waiter-served drinks and a hot tub.

Elegant cabins

Over 75% of Spirit of the Rhine’s cabins have French balconies, looking out from the Middle and Upper decks. With floor-to-ceiling windows, they offer personal, private views of every destination. Cabins on the Lower deck are smaller and feature a small picture window, so they also have natural light. All cabins are equipped with a flat-screen television, a Bluetooth speaker with USB, tea and coffee-making facilities, a small fridge, hairdryer, telephone, safe, seating area bathrobes and slippers.
