Two riverships, Switzerland and Rousse Prestige, will be refitted with new French balconies in time for the 2018 season, while Ivan Bunin – operating Russian rivers – will sail all-inclusive cruises.

Alena, a sister of rivership Asara inaugurated this year, is due to be named in spring 2018. The 135mtr long vessel accommodating up to 190 passengers is tailored for operation on rivers Danube, Rhine Main and Moselle.

In China, the 2005-built Century Sky will be added to the portfolio: The 126mtr long vessel managed by Century Cruises accommodates up to 306 guests and boasts all private balcony cabins.

Motoryacht Paradis joins Phoenix's portfolio on the Adriatic coast. The 40mtr long ship accommodates up to 42 passengers in 20 cabins and operates with a crew of ten.

Paradis will operate week-long itineraries from the Croatian port of Split to the islands of Brac, Hvar, Korcula, Mljet and to Dubrovnik, between end April and late September 2018.

All itineraries are targetted at the Germna-speaking market.
