Special Award - Best Luxury River Cruise Line, Europe

Cabins and an excellent kitchen at star level: Riverside Luxury Cruises has been setting new standards since its premiere in 2023. On the water, but also on land, where carefully curated excursions delight architecture lovers, art connoisseurs, music fans, nature lovers and gourmets alike. The three ships in the Seaside Collection owned by the Hamburg entrepreneurial family Gerlach (including the Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia in Gran Canaria and the Gewandhaus Dresden) will be sailing on the Danube, Rhine, Main, Moselle, Rhone and Saône in the coming season. The program includes the great imperial and royal metropolises such as Budapest and Vienna as well as the castles and vineyards along the Rhine and Moselle or the medieval towns of Provence. There are 3 to 14-day itineraries on offer, which can be combined with each other. A high degree of flexibility also characterizes the service in the on-board restaurants: fixed table times, as is usual with other providers, are unknown with Riverside Luxury Cruises. In addition, the 20 to 82 m² suites with elegant marble bathrooms and mostly floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows or French balconies offer plenty of space for relaxation. The crew-to-guest ratio on board is also impressive: whereas on other river ships there are usually 5 to 8 guests for every 2 crew members, on the Riverside Mozart, the Riverside Ravel and the Riverside Debussy there are just 4 passengers.
