Outing Highlights
Gala dinner then a midnight buffet
The evening opens with a served gala menu — welcome drink, appetizer, soup, main and dessert — followed later by an extensive midnight buffet with starters, soups, multiple mains (including vegetarian options), salads and pastries.
Music, a presenter and late‑night dancing
A DJ runs the soundtrack throughout the night and a live presenter keeps the program moving; a dance floor and raffle round out the entertainment for guests celebrating into the early hours.
International cuisine meets a festive river setting

What the night feels like
Boarding at dusk, the ship moves into a program of two cruises punctuated by long moorings at the pontoon: a seated first cruise for the gala dinner, an extended on‑board party while moored, and a short second cruise for the midnight buffet before the vessel returns to the pontoon for after‑party time until the early morning.
