Named for Helen of Troy, the S.S. Helen will marry the natural beauty of the Danube region with the Greek values of philoxenia (hospitality) and connection to nature, inviting guests to relax in a serene atmosphere of modern, Mediterranean elegance with subtle nods to Classical antiquity and the influence of Greek culture on European aesthetics. Guests who book a Grand Suite and the adjoining Deluxe French Balcony next door can see their stateroom transformed into an incredibly spacious 2-bedroom suite.
