They always offer their guests an oasis of luxury that is unique to their particular setting. Regardless where in the world they are located, they offer their guests fi rst class accommodation, excellent cuisine and highly personalized service. They allow their customers to relax, release their stress and thoroughly enjoy their beautiful settings and wonderful ambience. In a word, they allow each guest to experience their “dream” vacation. So too do we offer a unique opportunity to experience your dream vacation aboard one of our luxury river vessels. Before you is a choice of whether to enjoy your fi ne fl oating hotel amid the picturesque beauty of the Wachau valley along the Danube River or to immerse yourself in the splendor of Paris and the tranquility of the Normandy countryside along the Seine. Perhaps a musical performance in Vienna or the grandeur of passing below eight bridges as you enter Budapest will be just the right tonic for you. History, culture, pastoral settings, castles, celebrated thousand-year-old cities, sun drenched vineyards, breathtaking landscapes, medieval villages, ancient Roman temples, half timbered houses, magnifi cent palaces, enchanting fl ora and fauna, abbeys, green parks, romantic gardens, glorious mansions, mysterious fl ood plains with birds nesting in their natural habitats and much more. The diversity is truly inspiring. Regardless which vessel and river that you select, you can know that we are there to help make your dream come true. We extend to you a sincere “welcome aboard” one of our small dream ships!

The selection of delectable continental cuisine and local specialties is beyond compare on the rivers of Europe. A host of chefs is available for every voyage, each typically with one or two specialties. Although many vessels serve only buffet for breakfast or lunch, Peter Deilmann vessels offer you a choice of buffet or a full 5-course meal. It is truly the style of dining you would find only in an elegant European restaurant or aboard a 5-star ocean liner. And your setting is equally special because each Peter Deilmann dining room is large, non-smoking and beautifully decorated with comfortable upholstered chairs and ample space between tables. More Staff to Serve You A friendly, English-speaking crew caters to your every wish with all announcements made in English and German. The Peter Deilmann vessels have the best passenger-to-crew ratio of all river vessels in Europe, with no more than 2.5 passengers for each staff member. Most other vessels have 4 or 5 passengers for each crew member. The extra crew allows for an outstanding level of service, care and attention, which is the hallmark of the Peter Deilmann brand. It is also nice to know that, unlike most other river cruises, there is a certified medical doctor on-board every voyage. 5 6 fter Sightseeing, Your AFloating Hotel Awaits You Shore Excursions Excursions ashore are coordinated right from the ship, hosted by local English-speaking guides in each place along the route.
