Swiss Jewel can accommodate 118 guests in a spacious, club-like atmosphere. 85 percent of staterooms feature ocean views and French balconies, and the ship boasts 14 suites measuring 300 square feet each – the most of any river cruise ship in Europe, including full marble baths. Seven Junior suites are also on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All staterooms feature  terrycloth bathrobes, L\u2019Occitane toiletries, and slippers. For guests staying in Category 6 suites, Interactive video on demand is provided via flat panel plasma televisions along with room service breakfast and a 100 \u20ac laundry credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SWISS JEWEL Public Areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though Swiss Jewel is a river cruise ship, it offers many of the amenities you might expect from a much larger oceangoing vessel. The wood-paneled Lido offers coffee, tea and light snacks 24 hours per day, as well as alternative bistro-style dining. The room features a 180-degree glass wall that can open fully, allowing passengers to enjoy the passing scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complimentary snack baskets are served from 2pm onward, and open-seating dinner is served in the ship\u2019s main restaurant. Complimentary free-pour wine, beer and soft drinks are available with lunch and dinner. The ship also has a 24-hour Jacuzzi, as well as a fitness center, library and boutique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with AMA Waterways, Tauck features complimentary wireless internet access throughout its fleet, and Nintendo Wii games are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with her combination of space and enhanced amenities, Swiss Jewel transports guests to some of Europe’s most stunning destinations aboard a ship that is at once intimate and inviting, but modern and luxurious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
