Saga christens new river cruise ship










Saga has christened its latest boutique river cruise ship, Spirit of the Moselle, during a ceremony held in Amsterdam, ahead of her maiden cruise.
 
Spirit of the Moselle is the third purpose-built river ship to join Saga’s award-winning fleet, following Spirit of the Rhine and Spirit of the Danube.
 
Spirit of the Moselle starts her maiden season on the Main. In 2026, she takes to the Moselle itself. A tributary of the Rhine River, the Moselle River winds its way from the Vosges Mountains of north-eastern France, through Luxembourg and into Germany, where it meets the Rhine in Koblenz.

The ship design has been inspired by the Romantic beauty of the Moselle region, with artistic nods to J.M.W. Turner’s Beilstein and Burg Metternich and the Roman poet Ausonius’ Mosella.
 
On board, guests can enjoy two elegant restaurants, the Panorama and the intimate Beilstein speciality restaurant, while the public spaces include a panoramic lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows, a Parisian-style café and a library area. The ship’s 92 cabins, most with French balconies, offer a stylish and relaxing retreat for guests after a day of exploration.
