construction

The push boat is 25.00 m long, 11.40 m wide and has a draft of 1.50 m. It is powered by two MTU - 8V 4000 M60 engines of 800 kW with two four-bladed twin rudder propellers of the company Veth . Three diesel generators, each 310 kVA, are installed for the power supply . The height-adjustable operator's platform is equipped with modern nautical equipment. A bow thruster is built in for better maneuvering when berthing and casting off .

The passenger unit has the dimensions 110.0 × 11.40 × 1.50 meters. The passenger cabins are built as prefabricated modules. This construction gives a wide range of design options. All cabins are on two decks above the waterline and are equipped with showers. The floor-to-ceiling glazing and a French balcony on each cabin are unique in inland shipping. The restaurant, the galley, the reception, a bar and a salon with a dance floor are also located on the two decks. The store rooms and 24 cabins for 44 crew members are located in the fuselage below the cabin decks. The ship is fully air-conditioned. Depending on the equipment, up to 98 cabins are available for 198 passengers.

By separating the drive and passenger modules, the transmission of drive noises and vibrations to the guest areas should be reduced. Nevertheless, the drive and passenger modules are coupled as permanent units and cannot simply be exchanged with one another at will.
