MS Edelweiss Review

Review of MS Edelweiss

MS Edelweiss was built in 2013, and her concept revolutionized the river cruising industry. She is the first riverboat of a new generation, featuring the elegant interiors for which Scylla is well known. With 90 cabins accommodating up to 180 passengers, the 4-star cruise ship offers a luxurious onboard experience. Her impressive atrium welcomes guests onboard, while the decor combines modern design with the signature style of the SCYLLA fleet. The history of the Swiss shipping company dates back to 1974 with the vessel MS Scylla.

The vessel’s hull and superstructure were constructed at the Vahali Shipyard in Belgrade, Serbia. The Dutch shipbuilding company Scheepswerf en Machinefabriek Vahali BV, founded in 1923, owns and operates shipyards in Serbia (Belgrade and Zasavica) and the Netherlands (Gendt). Vahali Shipyard Zasavica was officially opened in 2013. After construction in Serbia, the cruise ship was towed to the Netherlands for final outfitting at Scheepswerf Vahali in Gendt.
