What she's like
A floating resort with the most to do. Expect lines at boarding, the buffet and tender boats. About 40 tons of ship per guest. As a rule of thumb, 40 or more feels roomy and under 30 feels busy.
'The language spoken on board is German.' Crew language is English; German-speaking staff at all service points. German-market line.
Our judgment, from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (ultra-luxury).
'Premium inclusive': most meals and a wide selection of drinks in almost all bars and lounges, sports, sauna, entertainment, childcare. Extra: some specialty restaurants (e.g. Surf & Turf steakhouse, Hanami by Tim Raue, La Spezia), shore excursions, spa, workshops.
Infants 6 months+ (12 months if 3+ consecutive sea days). Kids' Club ages 3-11 (9am-9pm); baby room 'Nest' for under-3s with a parent.
'There is no formal dress code', classic casual; no swimwear or shorts at dinner in restaurants. No gala or Captain's dinner.
Where she sails in Europe
Western Mediterranean, Northern Europe & Baltic, Norwegian Fjords, Canary Islands & Madeira
We don't have her sailing-by-sailing schedule yet. See the line's site for dates.
