Overview

Join us on an unforgettable journey on one of the best-known river cruise ships in France. Formerly sailing as Viking Burgundy, MS Maribelle offers a leisurely journey through Southern France under its new name.

Reception/Lobby

The middle deck lobby area is a great place to get information or meet up with friends. Your Program Director’s desk is located here, so that you can easily ask questions or discuss the day’s activities. There is a small seating area, a 24-hour tea and coffee station with a fruit basket, an onboard boutique and restrooms.

Sun Deck

Enjoy sunshine and fresh air while you take in 360-degree views of the scenery as you sail past castles, towns, villages, trees and vineyards. Stand at the railings or relax in a comfortable deck chair. Some of the seating has a canopy for those who prefer shade. There is an access way from the sun deck to the bridge.

Restaurant

The restaurant is where all meals are served during your cruise. It features panoramic windows, so you will not miss any of the scenery while you are dining. It seats all guests at 24 tables which vary in size, accommodating 4, 6 or 8 guests per table. The dining room is open seating, so you are free to sit where you like—a great way to make new friends. The atmosphere is casual but elegant, with high-quality table linens, china, cutlery and glassware. The room has a stereo system for playing quiet music during meals.

Observation Lounge/Bar

The observation lounge is a terrific place to meet friends before and after meals. It boasts a large sitting area with chairs, small tables, sofas and a bar area with barstools. The lounge has a projector and screen installed in the ceiling, so slides can be shown, and there is a stereo system and dance floor.

Library

The library has comfortable seating and excellent reading light. Our ships’ libraries carry approximately 80 books, in various languages but mostly English, and several games such as chess, backgammon and playing cards.

Elevator

There is an elevator from the upper deck to the middle deck.
