Spotlight on MS Olympia
MS Olympia is registered in Switzerland, where the Rhine rises in the high Alps. She flies the Swiss flag She has sailed all Europes great rivers, including the Rhine, the Moselle, the Main, the Danube, the Po and the Dutch waterways Her shallow draft means that she can navigate even at low water With just 96 passengers on board, Olympias friendly crew really can get to know everyone English is the on-board language and the Euro the on-board currency during your cruise
The Cruise Manager was excellent, as were the staff in the restaurant.
Mrs Honiford, Hampshire
One of the undoubted highlights of your Olympia river cruise holiday will be the full-board dining arrangement in the ships delightful lower-deck restaurant. Crisp linen tablecloths, attentive waiting staff and sumptuous fare a mix of regional specialities, international dishes and meals tailored to British palates, all prepared by the on-board chefs served in comfortable, relaxed surroundings add up to a wonderful experience three times each day.

A well-stocked breakfast buffet, including hot dishes, sets you up for the day ahead, while lunch generally includes a salad buffet and lighter main dish. In the evening, when the atmosphere is generally more smart casual than formal although gentlemen may like to don a jacket for the special Captains Welcome and Farewell nights (available on longer duration cruises only) a delicious four-course meal is served. As Olympia sails through regions famed for their love of good food, expect to taste some local dishes, and dont miss the opportunity to sample the wines for which the Rhine and Moselle are celebrated. In Cologne, its the local Klsch beer that takes pride of place, while in Rdesheim, another regular port of call, you might try the local Asbach brandy.

Fly out to join MS Olympia
For those clients who prefer the convenience of air travel, we offer departures inclusive of flights and transfers directly to the quayside on all our Olympia river cruise holidays. With a choice of departure airports shown on the panel opposite our Flight-Inclusive Holidays are the quickest way of travelling out to the ship, and often include the added bonus, dependent upon your arrival time, of having the opportunity for some extra pre-embarkation sight-seeing or shopping.
*Although Standard Promenade cabins are generally larger in size and mainly have double beds (which do not convert into sofas), they do not have a table or stool, and on occasions these cabins may be subject to engine noise during overnight and early morning sailings.
