The MV Katharina von Bora was built in 2000 and refurbished in 2005. Carrying only 79 passengers in 41 cabins, she is very deluxe yet intimate. She is distinguished by staterooms on her upper deck that have full-length French doors opening into your cabin (cabins on the lower deck have large windows). Original works of art can be found throughout. All double cabins are identical in size (there are three singles and two lower deck junior suites) and are beautifully appointed with built-in wardrrobes, desk, shower and toilet, television, telephone, refrigerator, safe, hairdryer and four channel radio. Terry robes are available upon request. Bedding is a European style duvet with feather pillows and eiderdowns (synthetic materials available upon request). Smoking is not allowed in the cabins, restaurant or in the corridors.
