James Matthews escapes in style with Riverside Cruises, to discover how they create an experience like no other...
In late 2022, German hotelier, Seaside Collection, joined a handful of luxury hotel brands entering the cruise market, following the acquisition of the 5 ex-Crystal Cruises, ultra-luxury river cruise ships. Thus Riverside Luxury Cruises was born, beginning operations in April 2023, with sailings of 3 to 14 nights in unparalleled luxury on Europe’s most breathtaking rivers.
In an age where discerning travellers seek a slower pace of life and flight-light alternatives, guests can once again cruise in style aboard ships largely regarded as the most luxurious on the water.
Uniquely offering European river cruises of 3 – 14 nights, Riverside Luxury Cruises is defined not only by its 1:1 crew-to-suite ratio, but also by its service culture, which is authentically personal in nature. Nowhere is this better exemplified, than by its butlers, who go above and beyond to assist all guests with their needs, from 24-hour room service to special requests for unique excursion experiences. On shore and on board, wellness experiences are offered to encourage guests to enjoy the river and surrounding countryside with gusto.
As guests travel from port to port, Riverside strives to provide the finest cuisine and wine cellar, and places an emphasis on the freshness and quality of all ingredients on board. Award-winning chefs are on hand to create ever- changing specialities, inspired by locally sourced and seasonal produce from the regions through which you cruise. All of this, is complemented by a crew of trained sommeliers with access to special regional and global wines from a wine cellar that is unparalleled even among the best restaurants on land. Specially trained bartenders also offer a full onboard menu of premium spirits.
