Concordia Damen secures contract to deliver River Cruise 135 to Swiss luxury cruise operator

This in-house designed vessel represents a step forward in sustainable and luxurious river cruising and has the Green Award Gold Standard.

The new ship will have hybrid propulsion for reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions, high insulation, laser-controlled ventilation, and environmentally friendly materials are used for the outfitting, to name but a few features.

After the hull is completed, the cruiser can of course be adapted in many ways to suit individual customer’s needs and wishes. 

Johan Muilenburg, Project Manager at Concordia Damen, comments:

“We are excited to partner with this leading Swiss operator to deliver our innovative River Cruise 135. This contract underscores our commitment to eco-friendly practices and excellence in shipbuilding; and these are not just words! Cruise vessel owners and operators are welcome to visit our yard and see for themselves what this statement means in practice. One of the features I personally like best is the fact that we’ve integrated solar panels in the railing, which are instrumental in charging the battery system.

Another one is that we’ve proven that this design needs significantly less power to sail under normal circumstances – a real fuel- and cost saver. We are thankful to our client and very happy with this contract. After the A-Rosa Sena, this new ‘135’ proves that Concordia Damen is really establishing itself in the River cruise market, the sustainable cruise market, to be precise.”
