Johann Strauss
Built in 2004, the four star MS Johann Strauss is a 90 cabin vessel built to the highest specifications. One of her many fine features are the number of French balcony cabins. There are over 60 such cabins with a sliding glass door and a glass wall. From these cabins, which are located on the Opera and Waltz decks, the views are spectacular and for many the opportunity to open the door to fresh air is a great bonus. All cabins are large, being 170 square feet of space, comparing favourably with hotel rooms or the better cabins on large ships. They are well planned and smartly furnished in light woods and restful colours. Facilities include a king sized bed, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, television, telephone, minibar, safe, hairdryer, radio and a well appointed bathroom with shower and toilet.
Another well designed feature of the vessel is the positioning of the restaurant, lounge, bar and cafe on the top deck. These public areas also have floor to ceiling windows, affording excellent views as you dine or relax. On board you will also find a fitness centre with a sauna, whirlpool and gymnasium equipment. There is also a small shop for convenience items.
