The 5-star MV Casanova was newly built for delivery in April 2001. The deluxe vessel accommodates 94 passengers in 48 cabins. She is distinguished by staterooms on her upper deck featuring full-length French doors, which can be opened (cabins on the lower deck have large windows). Original works of art can be found throughout the vessel. All double cabins are identical in size and are beautifully appointed with built-in closets, desk, shower and toilet, television, telephone and 4 channel radio. Hairdryer and terry robes are available upon request. Bedding is European style duvets with feather pillows and eiderdowns (synthetic materials available upon request).

The vessel features six meals daily (Breakfast, Morning Bouillon, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner and Midnight Snack). All meals are single seating with evening meals up to nine courses on selected nights. Additionally, there is a bar, Panorama Restaurant, lounge as well as an infirmary with a qualified doctor on board. The Sun deck offers plenty of deck chairs and blankets, if needed. Captain's Welcome and Captain's Farewell Receptions are provided as well as nightly entertainment and dancing. There is one crew member for every 2.5 passengers providing about the best crew to passenger ratio of any river vessel. This allows for a high level of service as well as sumptuous meals, served course by course for the evening dinner. English language announcements, menus and daily programs are provided.
