Please keep in mind that your riverboat is on the one hand your "vacation hotel" but on the other hand also a working machine that moves with engine power and has to be operated constantly, even at night (partly with lock and bridge passages). We recommend that guests who are particularly sensitive to noise bring earplugs.
