Her deck plan is innovative, with a total of 67 cabins, the most popular cabins tend to be the largest... so cruise have used the added ship length to offer twenty-two 300-square-foot Tauck Suites – the most of any river cruise ship on any European river. To increase the amount of natural sunlight on the lower deck, cruise created 8 loft cabins that extend from the first to the second decks, providing guests with an additional view, all windows in these loft cabins open.
