Your project, your priorities
Start with your operating brief
Every river cruise project brings its own route, guest concept and operational requirements. We work with the owner and design partners to shape the brief and define the scope before organising the build.
From hull strategy to outfitting
Discuss a complete newbuild or a defined outfitting scope with us. Hull procurement, engineering responsibilities, equipment interfaces and delivery requirements are established for the individual project.
Relevant experience
Proven vessels. Useful perspective.

The experience on board.
The vessel and its interior are developed around the people who use them.
From guest experience to a workable vessel
Define the vessel around the operation
The route, intended guest capacity, onboard experience and operating requirements establish the brief. From there, the project brings together the vessel arrangement, technical installation and interior outfitting. De Hoop’s own team coordinates the agreed scope with the specialist partners required for each phase.
Experience that informs the next project
The Amadeus series for Lüftner Cruises and the Emerald references show experience across multiple river cruise vessels. The reference pages let you explore those projects as evidence of past work. A new project starts with your requirements, with design choices and responsibilities agreed for the proposed vessel.
Start with the right information
Tell us about your intended waterways, vessel dimensions, capacity, delivery ambitions and any existing design. That gives us a practical starting point for discussing newbuild, modification or an upcoming yard period.
