MS Swiss Corona 2022/2023

Built in 2004 utilising the most modern design techniques and latest in safety features, as its name suggests, the five-star MS Swiss Corona is Swiss owned and managed - and one of the finest such vessels adorning any European river! Your first experience is the strikingly luxurious lobby, with beautiful polished marble decks, adorned with rich hardwoods, tasteful brass fittings and classic wrought-iron staircases, recalling classic five-star hotels from the golden age of travel. Blend this with the ship’s low passenger complement, just 139 guests (many similar size vessels carry nearly 200), with 35 crew, the ratio to passengers at less than 4 to 1 is very high, guaranteeing an excellent level of service and a more personal touch.

The cabins on the Swiss Corona are some of the largest, best appointed and most luxuriously furnished of any river cruiser anywhere in the world. Tastefully carpeted, they are large, 15 square metres (161 square feet) which makes them amongst the largest of such accommodation and most importantly, beds are hotel standard and a turn down service operates whilst you have dinner. Please note all cabins have two twin beds with individual bedding which can be moved together or separated accordingly. The beds have the best mattresses whilst the linen is of the finest cotton with high quality down pillows (hypoallergenic alternatives are available, please advise on booking) with adjustable beds to find the perfect sleeping position, so you experience a real home-from-home. The well-appointed bathroom features a glazed shower cubicle not a curtain, plus of course WC, and quality bathroom cosmetics. There is a safe, mini-bar, tea and coffee making facilities, telephone, individual air-conditioning, hairdryer, seating area with two chairs and plenty of storage space. The flat-screen TV features satellite channels so you can keep in contact with the world, for added interest has a GPS system enabling you to plot the ship’s exact position should you so wish, whilst bow and aft cameras enable you to enjoy the view without even leaving your cabin! On the Diamond (upper) and Ruby (middle) deck, all cabins feature floor-to-ceiling sliding patio-style 'French balcony' windows, whilst those on the Emerald (lower) deck have smaller fixed windows. Cabins for sole occupancy are available at the relevant supplement (subject to availability).

With smaller fixed windows this is where the Swiss Corona really shows its true pedigree, with a limited number of suites of 18 square metres (193 square feet) on each deck, giving that extra room for added comfort. They feature the window style relative to the deck on which they are located plus added space and more luxurious seating. In short your is comfort is assured.
