history

The DCS Amethyst was the fourth of a total of six almost identical river cruise ships that was commissioned as an investment project by Premicon AG from the Nobiskrug shipyard in Rendsburg . The limited partnership was around 8 million euros - the investment of investors was around 7 million euros . The ship was individually equipped and painted according to the wishes of the first chart participant, the Swiss Globus Cosmos Group. The shipyard handed over the completed ship to the client in April 2004. On May 6th, the ceremonial christening under the name Artistry took place in Mainz - the godmother was Gemma Albek, the tour operator's daughter. The charter contract was not extended by Globus in 2010 despite the two-year option. Since 2011 there has been a transport contract with the Nagler tour operator DCS Touristik which runs until 2014. The ship was repainted in early 2011 and renamed DCS Amethyst .

The restaurant with 172 seats is located in the central nave, followed by the kitchen and 17 cabins aft. On the sun deck that begins behind the driver's cab, deckchairs and seating groups are available to passengers.
