The MS Victor Hugo is named after one of the most famous figures in French literature. This attractive standard ship sails on the Tisza, Sava, Elbe, Rhine and Danube, rivers with a vast history and culture.

Completely refitted in 2019, the MS Victor Hugo is an intimate-sized standard ship, measuring 82 m long and 9,50 m wide. It can accommodate 90 passengers, in 45 comfortable and spacious cabins spread over two decks, offering amenities and providing guests with all the comforts they need during their stay. The decoration is a contribution to romanticism. Mineral and bluish colors refer to the Channel Islands where the writer was exiled, while touches of brass and some art-deco elements evoke the characteristic style of the period. Located on the upper deck, the restaurant offers a delicate cuisine in a refined setting, where large bay windows allow guests to fully enjoy the panorama. The lounge bar with a dance floor is located on the same deck, while on the sun deck, an ideal place to relax and admire

the landscapes, passengers can enjoy comfortable sun loungers, as well as a large shaded area.
