Frequently Asked Questions
The Rhone and the Saone, between Lyon and Provence. She has never left Europe. The Asian itineraries shown on this page belong to another ship of the fleet and come from an error in our inventory.
By mistake. Our inventory gave her the five hundred and ninety-six departures of the Mekong ship, at the same dates and on the same itineraries. The correction is requested. The dates shown are not hers.
Through your advisor, who queries the supplier directly and obtains the real Rhone and Saone dates. The calendar on this page is not reliable until the inventory is corrected.
One hundred and ten metres, four decks, 70 cabins and 138 travellers. Capacity is given as one hundred and thirty-six, one hundred and thirty-eight or one hundred and forty depending on the source: we keep the median.
2017, from the Den Breejen yard in the Netherlands. She is the only one hundred and ten metre hull of the European fleet, drawn for the Rhone locks rather than the Rhine ones.
The Australian group that sells the cruise. It owns its hulls and, since 2020, its own shipbuilder. The ship is not chartered from a third-party shipowner, which avoids having her taken back from one season to the next.
We do not assert it. One source says so, two others describe the pool and the cinema as two separate installations under the same retractable glass roof. Without confirmation from the supplier, we promise nothing.
The cabin decks, yes. The sun deck, no: the lift shaft cannot rise above the upper deck or the ship would not clear the bridges. The loungers and the walking track are reached by stairs.
An inside balcony, in the upper categories: the top half of the floor-to-ceiling window lowers at the push of a button, opening the cabin to the outside. There is no floor surface, you do not step out. Lower deck cabins have a fixed window.
Standard cabins judged cramped, bathrooms tighter still, mechanical noise and cabin doors that stick. Nothing touching safety, but it is said before the sale rather than after.
The line requires an able companion, accepts folding wheelchairs only and judges mobility scooters unsuitable. It warns that cabin and bathroom doors may not admit a standard wheelchair.
No figure is published for the river ships of this fleet. A single 2019 source mentions one cabin on two of the hulls, without the line ever confirming it. We do not publish that figure as a fact.
Yes. The fare covers gratuities to the onboard crew, to local guides and to drivers. No daily service charge is posted to your onboard account.
Beer, wine and soft drinks are included at lunch and dinner, as are specialty coffees and teas throughout the day. Premium brands and bar drinks outside meals are not.
Not in the offer sold here. The same brand's British catalogue includes the international flight and the transfers: that is a different product under the same name. Do not transpose an inclusion read on a European site.
