Embark on a journey of sensory delight with river cruising, a gateway to a world of unparalleled experiences. Engage your senses as you behold, touch, and immerse yourself in the beauty that unfolds before you. Picture yourself seated on the inviting open-air Vista Deck, where every passing landscape and vibrant destination becomes a part of your soul’s tapestry. Inhale the essence of life and wisdom as you traverse these remarkable moments, etching them into the very core of your being.

Indulge in the art of savoring life’s finer moments; let the warm embrace of the sun on your skin and the gentle breeze on your face accompany you. Sip on an exquisite cup of Earl Grey during teatime, or raise a glass of Taittinger rosé as the sun bids adieu, all while marveling at the ingenuity of the intricate locks that guide your voyage.

As you step ashore, allow yourself to become one with the culture and heritage of Europe’s most enchanting cities. Immerse yourself in the stories that cobblestone streets and historic landmarks have to tell. And when you return to the vessel, prepare to embark on a culinary expedition, savoring the authentic flavors of the regions you’ve just explored.

Unburden yourself from the rigors of packing and unpacking; instead, wrap yourself in the embrace of endless memories waiting to be made. A voyage with Riverside Luxury Cruises transcends the boundaries of mere travel – it’s a chance to wander in the vast expanse of the world and, in doing so, discover the depths of your own being. Get ready to let go, to get lost, and in that journey, find the most authentic version of yourself.

Riverside Bach

The Riverside Bach carries the name of the great German composer for good reason. There are – we can claim with all modesty – certain parallels in their characters. Bach was exceptionally welcoming to guests. Abstinence was not his thing; he valued quality food, tobacco, beer, and wine. Historians have praised his integrity and his sometimes humorous, jolly disposition. And all of these fine characteristics can also quite rightly be ascribed to the Riverside Bach. It’s a grand ship offering its guests ample room and most attentive service while simultaneously guaranteeing them the highest level of discretion. Luxus par excellence – including the select food and drink on board and land excursions that will not soon be forgotten. This is what makes this river cruise ship on the Rhine so exceptional.

Riverside Debussy

He was a real charmer. Poetry and charm characterise his works. His compositions were regarded at the time as the start of a “new form of music”, and the tours with the Riverside Debussy may also be understood as the dawn of a new era of river cruising on the Rhine. This ship is a luxury resort on water, and at the same time an island of tranquillity. It offers guests plenty of space and a first-class kitchen, while simultaneously guaranteeing privacy. The Riverside Debussy leaves nothing to be desired.
