New Ship Lumiere Photos
The Scylla website has the new ship built for Tauck Rhone cruises on their website. You can use the link below or go to Scylla.com and look thru the Our Ships section. It has loads of photos and detailed ship deck plans. Beautiful.

Very nice looking ship.
Scylla has come a long way in their decor. Picture below was the cabin decor years ago. Bordello red and gold. Was so glad they had changed it by the time we took our first cruise.
Thank you for sharing Claudia. We are booked on a river cruise on the Lumiere next year.
Nice interior, same layout. I'm not a fan of the bathroom from what I can see in the photo. The mirrors on the bathroom wall seem to eliminate the medicine cabinet that was great for storing "stuff" and hiding the 4 outlets. If the result is having to put all, or most, of your toiletries and whatever on the counter top that would have been in the medicine cabinets then this is a step backwards, IMO. Also, not a fan of the raised sink. I never found them to be practical, but I guess they look classy. They spec the voltage as 230Vac, so does not mean there will be no 110V outlets? Just my observations based on the limited photos and specs. YMMV.
Good luck, may she sail safely and a pleasure to all who travel with her.
I’ve only taken one river cruise with Tauck so I can’t comment much apart from that the bedroom looks exactly as I recall the MS Inspire that we were on. Yes, the bathroom looks less practical, no cabinet as inlanikai observed. Those above counter sinks are not good for a short person like me and so easy to chip the edges. But what stands out most to me is the maximum number of passengers, 146! What happened to the small intimate ship capacities that Tauck used to boast about? Aren’t some of their ships for 90 people.
And boy, the rivers must be getting more crowded than ever. Well, we take a river cruise in March, so I hope it’s not too crowded. I’m prepared that the weather may be quite cool and still be a possibility of snow. Still trying to prioritize land tours.
Re the bathroom, it's possible there is storage and/or electric outlets in the wall next to the sink you can't see in the picture.
On passenger count, Scylla's numbers often don't match Tauck's which says 130 guest's for that ship.
Ah, good observation Claudia!
