MV Princesse de Provence: Arles - Lyon

We are very pleased to have joined forces with Peter Deilmann Cruises for the 2009 season, thus extending our range of holidays to include some delightful river cruises. The MV Princesse de Provence is a deluxe vessel built in 1992 and refurbished in 2005.
Our C.E.O visited her at Lyon toward the end of the 2008.
"It was lovely to be aboard such a luxurious vessel.
Despite my visiting at the end of the season, the ship was in excellent condition, smelling wonderful with an abundance of fresh flowers in the common areas, and the staff friendly and helpful.
My maid and waiter saw to my every need while remaining discreet throughout my stay.

This type of cruise is ideal for the individual traveller or a couple as both are bound to find similar company aboard.

On speaking to a number of guests, it was clear that the ship offers a very memorable cruise experience and the unique opportunity to explore a number of cities, in various regions.

This ship has a light and airy ambiance and is distinguished by staterooms on her upper deck that have full-length french doors that open into your cabin (cabins on the lower deck have large windows) Original works of art can be found throughout the vessel. She has a total of 70 twin, identically sized cabins of 130 square feet, all of which are outside, carrying 148 guests. Each cabin is beautifully appointed and features built-in closets, desk, shower, toilet, telephone and three-channel radio. A hair dryer and terry robes will offered by your maid.
