All meals are served in the main dining room with panoramic river views, and the sun deck gives open-air access to the passing scenery throughout the voyage. The ship’s lounge, bar and library provide comfortable social spaces for the evenings. All staterooms have individual climate control and private bathrooms. The Window Stateroom category, the price basis for this package, features a large picture window giving direct river views from the cabin.
