BOTTICELLI Ship Review

BOTTICELLI Overview

Built in 2004, Botticelli takes 151 passengers on a journey along France’s Seine River. At 361 feet in length, she is large enough to offer plenty of public rooms and amenities for guests to enjoy while onboard, but still small enough to provide the intimate river cruising experience that family owned CroisiEurope is known for.

Her sister-ship, Seine Princess, also operates river cruises along the Seine.

BOTTICELLI Staterooms

Each of the 75 staterooms available aboard the Botticelli are nearly identical in size and amenities. Their main differences lie in their physical placement on the ship’s two passenger decks.

Staterooms on Upper Deck feature French balconies, while those on Main Deck have fixed windows. Each stateroom includes a private bathroom with shower, toilet and sink/vanity area; a hairdryer, personal safe and a satellite television set.

CroisiEurope has also set aside one stateroom on Main Deck for those guests with disabilities, conveniently located adjacent to the ship’s main Reception Lobby.

BOTTICELLI Public Areas

Aboard Botticelli, all public rooms are located on the ship’s Upper Deck.  A main Restaurant located all the way aft serves up meals buffet-style for breakfast, with a set menu that changes daily for lunch and dinner. The Restaurant has an intimate feel and encourages a social atmosphere, with a variety of table sizes.

All the way forward on the same deck is the Main Lounge aboard the Botticelli. This features 180-degree panoramic windows that look out on the stunning scenery passing by. With a full-service bar, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy newfound company. The Lounge also features a decently sized dance floor that becomes well-used as the night wears on.

On the Sun Deck, located one deck higher, guests can admire the passing views of Europe’s most storied waterways with outdoor deck space that stretches from bow to stern.
