Short information from Wikipedia:

Augusta Victoria, later Auguste Victoria, placed in service in 1889 and named for Empress Augusta Victoria, wife of German Emperor Wilhelm II, was the name ship of the Augusta Victoria series and the first of a new generation of luxury Hamburg America Line ocean liners.
She was the first European liner with twin propellers and when first
placed in service, the fastest liner in the Atlantic trade. She was also the first luxury liner at Hamburg America, introducing the concept of the "floating hotel".


Off-season pleasure cruises were therefore started in 1891, and Augusta Victoria's
cruise in the Mediterranean and the Near East from 22 January to 22
March 1891, with 241 passengers including the Ballins themselves, is often stated to have been the first ever cruise.
