MPS Statendam

The 1966-built MPS Statendam river cruise ship is owned and operated by Feenstra Rijn Lijn (translated Feenstra Rhine Line). This premium riverboat operates on Main, Moselle, Rhine and Danube itineraries, as well as on the Dutch Waterways (in Holland). Departures are offered from homeports Arnhem, Cologne, Cochem and Dusseldorf. 

MPS Statendam cruise fares are inclusive of all transfers to and from the ship (by air, coach, or train /Eurostar).

Unlike most Feenstra ships, MPS Statendam was Switzerland-flagged and registered in Basel (until 2021) and not Netherlands-flagged (Maasbracht Holland). However, in 2021, the vessel (ENI number 7001727) changed its flag state/registry and identification number from Switzerland (MMSI 269057155) to the Netherlands (MMSI 244000892) and is now registered in Maasbracht.

Decks and cabins

All passenger staterooms (98 total ) are outside and with centrally-regulated air conditioning and heating. All accommodations feature private bathroom facilities (toilet, shower, washbasin/separate sink), as well as a TV, phone, hairdryer, electronic safe box (in the closet), a mirrored dressing table with chair, ample storage space.

MPS Statendam cabins are on 2 decks - Promenade and Main.

In the 3-bed cabins (triple occupancy), the 3rd bed is an upper bunk (Pullman) and suitable only for kids. This cabin type is same sized as the 2-bed (double occupancy).

Triple cabins can be booked as doubles (for 2 passengers) based on availability and on request.

Double cabins have twin beds that can be easily converted into comfortable sofas during the day.

All double cabins are almost same sized, with the exception of the smaller category B.

The 2-bed cabins on Promenade Deck have larger windows (compared to Main Deck's cabins) which are also placed higher.

Also available for booking are single cabins (without single supplement), which are almost the same sized as the standard doubles.

Shipboard facilities

Ample chairs and deck chairs are lined up on the partially covered Sun Deck around the heated to 29-Celsius aft swimming pool (located at the stern). On the sundeck are also available outdoor gym equipment, 4-hole Putting Green (minigolf) and Giant Chessboard Set. Most onboard public areas are on Upper Deck and with large panoramic windows. The ship has a large Bar Lounge with dance floor, but the Bar is separate from the Lounge. All public areas are air-conditioned. In the central hall on Promenade Deck is the lobby area with Souvenir Shop and Reception Desk. Stairlifts connect all decks and are wheelchair-friendly.

The luxury extends to the boat's stylish Panorama restaurant with breathtaking views, located on the Main Deck. Breakfast and lunch are buffet-style, with a wide choice of Continental and English items to choose from. The 4-course evening meal includes starter, soup, choice of meat or fish main course (vegetarian option is available on request) and a dessert, all expertly crafted. On one evening passengers enjoy a very special 5-course Captain’s dinner. In the morning and in the afternoon, tea and coffee are waiter-served, while light snacks are offered in the evenings.

Feenstra cruise prices include full bar service, with tea and coffee waiter-served daily at regular intervals. Drinks at the Bar Lounge and shore excursions are not included in the fares. Feenstra Rhine Line doesn't charge additionally for port fees and shipboard gratuities.
