When a ship or yacht is in dry dock for maintenance, the ship’s crew needs accommodations. Overnight accommodations may also be needed when maintenance work is being performed on gas platforms, at-sea wind farms are being built or dredging activities are taking place. River cruise ships are ideal for off-shore overnight stays.  

A hotel ship can lay anchor in the water. This makes it the most flexible form of overnight accommodations. We sail in Europe’s inland waters – the Rhine, Main, Moselle, Danube, Elbe and Saar rivers – near cities such as Arnhem, Bratislava, Novi Sad, Strasbourg and Cologne. We have agreements with a large number of ports. Of course, we can also moor at your own berth. If the ship needs to go to a location for off-shore overnight stays with which we do not yet have an agreement, we will conclude one. The floating hotel is available for overnight stays for short as well as semi-permanent periods. Should the work run longer, this will generally not be a problem. The big advantage is that the crew can stay on the water close to the workplace. This will save you time and costs for transportation to the accommodations on the quay.

We offer two options for off-shore accommodations. Your own complete ship crew stays aboard the floatel to sleep and eat. The ships we mediate are fully equipped. Each cabin has either a double bed or two single beds, a bathroom with toilet and possibly a desk and refrigerator. There are also crew cabins, as well as a bar, restaurant and lounge. The kitchen is fully equipped, which your crew can use at their leisure.

If you opt for convenience, you can have your entire crew stay on the hotel ship. Ship Accommodation will take care of the cleaning, catering and hospitality. As soon as the work on the gas platform, wind farm or other facility has been completed, the crew can relax on the floatel and enjoy some time off at the end of the workday.
