MS Royal Crown operates on Danube River cruises exclusively, with itineraries offering departures from homeports Vienna and Budapest. This elegant 1996-built riverboat combines the charm of the 1930s with the comfort and 4-star hotel services. The vessel (ENI number 07001647) is Germany-flagged (registered in Hamburg), privately owned (by Euro Shipping Voyages) and chartered to various cruise companies, including Noble Caledonia.
