Review of MS Lord Byron

The 2012-built MS Lord Byron cruise ship offers voyages mostly on Moselle River (in Holland), also on Rhine and Danube. The ship is also deployed in France to operate voyages on Rhone River. The riverboat is owned by the Swiss company Scylla Cruises. In 2012-2020, the vessel was operated under charter by the UK cruisetour company Riviera Travel. Since 2020, the boat is chartered to VIVA Cruises (Scylla-owned subsidiary and travel brand).

Aft on Diamond Deck is the Bistro - Lido Restaurant, an alternative to the Dining Room Restaurant. The Bistro is served by its own Bar and also doubles as Library. It has an outdoor terrace and open kitchen. Here are served early Breakfast, light Lunch and Dinner. In good weather, the floor-ceiling window doors are fully opened onto the terrace for al fresco dining. Bistro's dining is complimentary, but dinners require reservations due to the restaurant's small capacity  (10 tables with 2 or 4 seats). Ship's Dining Room Restaurant (on Ruby / Middle Deck) provides single-seating capacity buffet-style Breakfast and waiter-served Lunch and Dinner.

On Emerald / Lower Deck is the ship's Wellness Centre consisting of Beauty Salon (hairdresser and barber services, nail studio), Fitness (Gym Room) and Spa (treatment room for massages). All cabin decks are fully air-conditioned and accessed via lift (passenger elevator) and stairs (forward, midship and aft), including a grand staircase in the Atrium.

MS Lord Byron Wiki

Vessel's construction (hull and superstructure) was done at the Vahali Shipyard in Belgrade 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).

In 2020, the vessel's flag-state/registry was changed from Malta (MMSI 229346000, registered in Valletta) to Switzerland (MMSI 269057570, registered in Basel).

In 2024 was completed an extensive refurbishment project that resulted in redesigned and renovated public areas, passenger cabins, and aft Bistro. The enhancements included new furnishings and carpeting.
