About Riverside Luxury Cruises

Founded in 2023 by Mario Ferreira after acquiring three former Crystal River vessels, Riverside Luxury Cruises operates the Riverside Mozart, Ravel, Debussy and Bach as all-suite, all-butler ships on the Rhine, Danube, Main, Moselle, Seine and Bordeaux waterways.

Today the line operates a fleet of 4 ships ranging from 84 to 154 guests. The newest vessel in service entered the fleet in 2018, while the oldest still sailing under the brand was launched in 2009.

The brand currently sails 4 distinct waterways. Each river demands a slightly different vessel — Rhine and Danube longships are typically 3 ships at roughly 135 metres in length, while the line's Douro, Loire, Mekong and Nile vessels are purpose-built for shallower waters and tighter lock chambers.
