Swiss Ruby, sister ship to Lord Byron, is designed for cruising on smaller rivers such as the Elbe.
Originally launched in 2002, Swiss Ruby has since been refurbished to a luxury standard with the latest equipment and high-class fittings. With just 88 passengers, there is a spacious feel on board and less than 4 guests to every crew member means there is an excellent service.
Enjoy the views of the passing scenery from the panoramic windows in the lounge at the front of the ship and relax in the evening listening to the pianist. The Sun Deck is also a great place to read and relax.
