MS SWISS RUBY

Overview

The SWISS RUBY, Where The Exclusive Is Always Inclusive!

Welcome to The SWISS RUBY.   You will journey through the heart of Europe as you travel along several of the continent’s most important waterways. SWISS RUBY has everything a traveler could ask for: castles and monasteries, vineyards and villages, cathedrals and a wealth of epicurean delights to be savored at every bend. On our scenic-packed journeys, you’ll see and experience it all while enjoying all-inclusive 5-star service on our classic fleet designed to put the best of Europe at your fingertips.  Start off with the cruise of your dreams along one of Europe’s fabled rivers.

On the Diamond Deck there are cabins with French balconies, through which you can enjoy the beautiful scenery from your bed. Each cabin is comfortably equipped with TV, radio, minibar, safe, hairdryer, air conditioning and shower and toilet. The entrance hall with the reception, as well as the inviting lounge with panorama bar and dance floor can be found on the Diamond Deck. The boutique invites you to browse and store on the Emerald Deck. Pleasure for all senses is offered by the ship’s restaurant with its timeless elegant style, which invites you to linger.

Dining on the SWISS RUBY is a true pleasure. Seated at tables for lunch and dinner, you will dine on a multi-course gourmet menu.  Freshly prepared dishes made with local ingredients are graciously served along with a curated selection of regional wines. Breakfasts on the SWISS RUBY are presented service à la française, with a bounty of unique and tasty options that will have you heading back to the buffet ‘just one more time.’ As part of our all-inclusive concept, selected alcoholic drinks and high-quality, non-alcoholic drinks (mineral water, soft drinks, juices, various coffee specialties, tea, and cocoa) and snacks are available to enjoy all day.  

As you’d expect from any 5-star hotel, each cabin on the SWISS RUBY delivers passengers a well-appointed retreat to call home. Sink into beds dressed in the finest linens after a full day of exploring.   Luxury bath & body products, individual air/heating thermostats, to help you to settle in, as well as a flat-screen satellite TV, should a lazy afternoon be preferred.

At the heart of this classic ship are the people you’ll share your journey with. The talent and professionalism of the SWISS RUBY’S warm and caring crew, combined with the camaraderie forged with your new adventure-loving cruise mates will make this a one-of-a-kind experience you can’t wait to repeat!
