Phoenix Reisen

Phoenix Reisen is a premium German travel agency and cruise operator based in Bonn, known for providing an intimate, “welcome home” atmosphere across its fleet of ocean and river vessels. Founded in 1973 by Johannes Zurnieden, the company transitioned into the cruise industry in 1988 and has since cultivated a loyal following by focusing on smaller, classic ships. These vessels are celebrated for their ability to reach unique ports that larger mega-ships cannot access, offering a traditional cruising experience characterized by German-language service, regional culinary specialties, and a relaxed, unpretentious environment. The brand gained significant cultural prominence in Germany as its ships have served as the iconic filming locations for popular television programs.
