Lying still: Sleeping on maritime heritage
The Christa Maria combines the character of a historic ship from 1961 with the comfort of a modern luxury residence. At 132 feet in length, this exceptional yacht offers ample space, privacy, and atmosphere for an unforgettable vacation on the water. You can stay on board while the ship is moored at a beautiful location, or you can opt for a relaxing cruise on European inland waterways. This way, the ship becomes your exclusive floating villa, perfectly tailored to the destination and travel experience you have in mind.
or by boat: Discover Europe from the water
The Christa Maria can sail on famous rivers such as the Rhine, the Loire, and the Danube. Along the way, you can visit iconic cities, including Amsterdam, Bruges, Paris, Avignon, Berlin, and Prague. Charming villages, tranquil nature reserves, and atmospheric spots along the river are also among the possibilities. Those wishing to travel further can even set course for the Black Sea. Thanks to the slow pace of travel, you have plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. Every leg offers a new view, while your comfortable accommodation simply travels with you.
Your stay, your route
You decide what your time on board looks like. Opt for a stationary stay in the center of a bustling city, as if you were booking a very spacious private hotel suite on the water. If you prefer to combine multiple destinations, the Christa Maria can sail to your favorite locations. The telescopic spud poles make it possible to moor stably at attractive berths. Additionally, you can align your stay with a special event, such as the French National Day in Paris, an art fair in Maastricht, or the cozy Christmas market in Berlin.
Comfort for every guest
Personal comfort takes center stage on board. The spaces feature individually adjustable climate control and multimedia, allowing every guest to create their own pleasant environment. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ensure a comfortable temperature in every season. Stone floors with underfloor heating give the interior a warm and stylish appearance. The king-size beds invite you to enjoy long, restful nights after a day of sailing or exploring. There is overnight accommodation for 11 to 12 people, making the ship suitable for families, groups of friends, and special multi-generational voyages.
Relax in luxury
After a day on the water, you can unwind completely in the private sauna or the jacuzzi. Afterwards, find a comfortable spot in the lounge and enjoy the play of flames in the fireplace. The carefully designed interiors combine nautical charm with contemporary elegance. Thanks to the high-quality surround sound system, you can play your favorite music throughout the ship. For extra relaxation, a massage can also be arranged on board. Everything is geared towards providing you with a peaceful, personal experience, far away from the hustle and bustle of a typical hotel.
Outdoor living on board
The terrace is suitable for every season and provides a delightful spot to eat together, relax, or simply watch the passing landscape. The outdoor kitchen makes long lunches and atmospheric dinners in the open air possible. Start your morning with coffee on deck, enjoy the river during the day, and end the evening under the stars. Four bicycles are available, ideal for exploring a city, village, or nature reserve from the mooring. Additionally, you can easily make short trips from the ship using the tender when the situation and route permit. A short sail in an authentic 12-foot dinghy is also possible: it is hoisted off the ship using deck cranes and is then accessible via the gangway and the inflatable jetty.
Personal culinary moments
If you wish to make your stay extra special, catering with professional chefs can be arranged. From an elaborate multi-course dinner to a menu suitable for a party, family gathering, or other special occasion, the culinary experience can be tailored to your wishes. Fresh ingredients and personalized menus make every meal special. Onboard service can also be requested. Bringing your own food and drinks is permitted with some booking types, subject to agreements and applicable port regulations. This gives you plenty of freedom to determine the atmosphere and content of your stay yourself.
Entertainment and special extras
Even when planning a quiet day on board, there is plenty to do. The entertainment system and PlayStation 5 ensure enjoyable moments with family or friends. If you wish to head out comfortably during a stopover, a professional chauffeur can be arranged, optionally with a Rolls-Royce limousine or another vehicle of your choice. This is ideal for transfers, events, and personal excursions. The combination of cruising, wellness, entertainment, and on-demand service makes the Christa Maria suitable for a relaxing holiday, a festive gathering, or an exclusive trip to multiple European destinations.
A stay to remember
The Christa Maria is more than just a place to sleep. The ship offers you the freedom to wake up in the heart of a historic city, along a tranquil riverbank, or amidst a lush green landscape. You travel without constantly packing and unpacking suitcases, while your comfortable accommodation takes on a fresh backdrop with every trip. With space for company, extensive wellness facilities, and options for personalized service, every journey feels special. Whether you stay put or set sail, here you experience Europe from a unique perspective, with water, history, and luxury always within reach.
