Why travellers choose the MS Jaz Viceroy
The ship
With 37 cabins, Jaz Viceroy is one of the three smallest ships in our Luxury category, and more than half of it is suites. Few guests and many balconies — that combination is what it is booked for. It is run under the Jaz brand of the JAZ Hotel Group.
Cabins
The 21 suites each have a private balcony, an espresso machine and an extra seating area. The 16 deluxe doubles have panoramic windows onto the river instead of a balcony. Every cabin has air-conditioning, a minibar, a TV and a private bathroom.
Life on board
The sun deck carries the pool and a bar; below are a spa, a gym and the fine-dining restaurant, on a full-board basis. There is no lift between the five decks.
