Ship Facts
About Spirit of the Danube
Constructed at the Vahali Shipyards in Serbia, Spirit of the Danube was built in 2022 and set sail on her inaugural cruise in the same year. Her naming ceremony took place in Arnhem in the Netherlands with her Godmother, broadcaster and journalist Dame Jenni Murray, in attendance. She has four passenger decks, can accommodate 172 passengers and is one of the most eco-friendly ships on the European waterways.
The importance of experience
Using over three decades of experience in the cruise industry, we designed Spirit of the Danube with our customers in mind. She will mainly be cruising the Danube River.
Elegant décor
The interior design features Art Nouveau style in pink and green hues and a Danube Delta wildlife theme, with designs incorporating migratory birds throughout. The elegant lobby features a stunning mosaic representing the river and the places of interest that run along it created by artist Ann Bubis. While the ship’s corridors showcase hand-cut paper artworks by Andrew Malon.
Accommodation
Staterooms
Over 75% of Spirit of the Danube’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 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.
Dining & Cuisine
Main Dining
Every mealtime is a special event, often stretching to four or five courses. Spirit of the Danube has two restaurants; the Panorama is the main restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the more intimate Delta Restaurant is open for a light lunch or speciality dinner reservation. Alfresco barbecue dining is available on the outside terrace when the weather is fine.
Complimentary afternoon tea is served daily, and tea, coffee and biscuits are available whenever you choose from the self-service stations.
