Primadonna

The third largest Danube ship Primadonna is a distinctive appearance due to the interesting architecture in the double-hulled construction (catamaran) and the 9 m high bow glazing. In a sense, you are floating above the water. In the 60-metre-long and 8-metre-wide atrium, people meet before meals, read the daily papers undisturbed and more. After cycling you will find relaxation in the small whirlpool, deck chairs or comfortable seats on the sun deck or inside in the wellness area with indoor whirlpool, a Kneipp bath and a sauna. Get some sleep in your cabin! All 82 cabins are spacious 9,5 -16,5 m² and comfortably and tastefully furnished featuring en-suite facilities with shower/toilet, hairdryer, telephone, satellite TV, mini-bar, roomy wardrobe, writing desk, safe and (individually adjustable) air conditioning.
