Winner of the ‘Condé Nast 2009 Best Small Ship’ award, the River Queen sails the Moselle and Rhine Rivers on 9- and 12-night cruises through Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, and Switzerland. Having been refurbished in 2006, the River Queen features an art-deco design with decadent cabins that include direct-dial telephones, spacious closets, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, hotel-style bedding, fine linens, plush bathrobes, and more. A highlight of the panoramic main lounge is a working fireplace, the only such addition on any river cruise ship. With a library, fitness options, massage treatments, lounges, and more, there is never a shortage of things to do onboard the River Queen. At dining times, cuisine is delivered with a personal touch and attentive service and is prepared from fresh ingredients often from the surrounding region. The River Queen features 24-hour reception and complimentary coffee, tea, and use of bicycles and Nordic walking sticks for each port.
