Phoenix Reisen is a Germany-based

SS Maxim Gorkiy.[2]

History

Phoenix Reisen first begun operating cruises under its own brand in 1988 when the company chartered the West German-built cruise ship

SS Albatros was chartered from V-Ships. Unlike the Maxim Gorkiy, which retained the colours of her owners in Phoenix service,[4] the Albatros was painted in Phoenix Reisen's own colours with a turquoise funnel displaying the company logo.[5]

Due to numerous mechanical problems, Phoenix Reisen decided to prematurely terminate the charter of the Albatros in December 2003.

In April 2011, the company took delivery of MV Artania, which formerly sailed as MV Artemis for P&O Cruises. In July 2019 the fleet was increased with a former HAL ship.
