Patria

Patria and her former river routes

Built in 1940 and converted into a passenger vessel in 1969, the Patria previously sailed under the names Hoesch 1, Georg Reitz 1 and Ruhr. Her ENI number is 02312744. Historical routes for the Patria are documented on the Saar, Moselle, Rhine and Neckar: one eight-day itinerary ran from Saarburg along the Saar and Moselle to Koblenz; another connected Koblenz with Bad Wimpfen via the Rhine and Neckar.

On earlier voyages, the Patria accommodated 68 guests. The facilities at the time included twin cabins with private bathrooms, a restaurant, a lounge bar and a sun deck.
