MS William Shakespeare

The MS William Shakespeare was built in 2014 and carries 152 passengers as she cruises along some of the most beautiful rivers in Europe. The 3 decks on-board are named after Shakespeare’s most famous characters-Romeo, Othello and Hamlet. On-board, guests will find two dining venues, a 24-hour tour/reception desk, library and boutique shop, as well as a Jacuzzi, sunbathing terrace, fitness suite and a hair salon.

Main Restaurant

The Main Restaurant is on the Othello Deck (middle) and provides guests with a buffet breakfast and lunch and a waiter served dinner. Here, you will be treated to the best of European cuisine as you sit at tables with top quality linen tablecloths and a silver service.

Midsummer Bar & Restaurant

The Midsummer Bar & Restaurant is located at the rear of the ship and is fitted with large panoramic windows and outside seating arrangements. This provides an intimate dining experience for only 24 diners with a fixed menu from the chef's favourite signature dishes-guests will have booked in advance at no extra charge.
