SANS SOUCI

History

The SANS SOUCI was built in 2000 under the name EUROPA. Ship data lists later record the river cruise ship as SANS SOUCI and associate both names with ENI 02324177.

Cabins and decks

Plantours describes the SANS SOUCI as a small boutique ship for a maximum of 81 guests. Outside cabins are located on several decks; on the Elbe Deck, they have French balconies. One cabin example measures around 12 square metres and is equipped with two single beds placed together, a bathroom with shower and toilet, a hairdryer, TV, telephone, safe and individually controlled air conditioning. The Elbe Deck also offers a single cabin measuring around 10 square metres, with a fold-away bed and a very small bathroom. The twin cabins on the Eems Deck, measuring around 12 square metres, have large, centrally divided panoramic windows that cannot be opened.

According to Plantours, cabins were renovated and hotel beds installed in winter 2018/19; French balconies were also added to cabins on the Elbe Deck. For 2027, the operator has announced a new design for all cabins.

Life on board

Shared spaces include a lobby and reception, a restaurant, a library, a panoramic lounge and a sun deck with a sun awning. Plantours highlights the elegant furnishings, featuring fine woods and brass, and the refined atmosphere. A lift connects the Eems and Elbe decks; a stairlift provides access to the sun deck. The restaurant is on the Eems Deck, while the fully glazed panoramic lounge offers views of the passing scenery.
