MS Antonia Wiki

The vessel's construction (hull and superstructure, ENI number tba) was done at the Vahali Shipyard in Zasavica (Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia). The 1923-founded Dutch shipbuilding company (Scheepswerf En Machinefabriek Vahali BV) owns and operates yards in Serbia (Belgrade, and Zasavica) and in Holland (Gendt). Vahali Shipyard Zasavica was officially opened in 2013.

Following the construction in Serbia, the cruise ship was towed to Holland for final outfitting at Scheepswerf Vahali (Gendt).

 

The riverboat was christened in Bonn Germany on June June 17, 2021. The ship's godmother was Petra Fendel-Sridharan (wife of Ashok-Alexander Sridharan - Bonn City's former Mayor). The special event (part of the Maiden Voyage departing on June 16th from Cologne/Koln) was attended by Benjamin Krumpen (Phoenix Reisen GmbH's Managing Director). The vessel was blessed by pfarrer/pastor Raimund Blanke.

Antonia's Inaugural Cruise was also Phoenix Reisen's first voyage with passengers following the Coronavirus crisis 2020-2021.
