What People Say About Us

“A belated but sincere thanks for arranging the best trip for the Christmas markets for us. Everything was flawless and we had the nicest people taking care of us on the Debussy.” 

“The service was excellent. I’d rate the food A+++. The excursions were great and in some cases the guide took us off the normal route to see some amazing scenery and answer all the questions we had. The special event – wine tasting at Mission Bouachon in Chateauneuf du Pape – was wonderful.” 

“I had a SPECTACULAR vacation. On our last night, we were enjoying a quiet pre-dinner cocktail in the lounge with other folks who also stayed on board. Suddenly, the lounge was filled with the crew and we witnessed a marriage proposal of two crew members! She said yes — there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!”

“I cannot tell you what an amazing experience this has been onboard the gorgeous Debussy.  Riverside is absolutely the premier product and experience on the rivers. I'm almost speechless. There is simply no comparison on the rivers.” 

“I have been sailing on all the best cruise lines for more than 14 years, and I don’t think that I have ever experienced any that were as exceptional as Riverside Luxury Cruises! The staff could not be more personable, attentive, charming, friendly, and genuinely caring, wonderful people!  While I expected the food to be very good, it was all beyond belief – the executive chef is so passionate and caring about the food. Every detail is perfection.” 

"My experience with Riverside Luxury Cruises was nothing short of exceptional! Our Budapest to Passau Danube Cruise (October 17-24, 2024) truly showcased the best of river cruising – from the stunning ship and elegant staterooms to the outstanding service and immersive excursions. The staff went above and beyond. Riverside Luxury Cruises stands out as the best in river cruising, and I can’t wait to share more about this incredible experience. Thank you for an unforgettable journey!"

"My week aboard the Mozart was absolutely incredible! From the stunning ship to the seamless experience curated by Megan and TopFams, every detail exceeded expectations. I’m already planning to host a group for the 2025 Markets and can’t wait to share the Riverside experience with my clients. The service, accommodations, and Premium All-Inclusive with Excursions package truly set Riverside Luxury Cruises apart. Thank you for making this journey so special – I can’t wait to sail again!" 

"Our Riverside Luxury Cruises experience was beyond our expectations! A special thank you for the surprise cabin upgrade – it was such a wonderful surprise. The service was exceptional, and seeing familiar faces from our previous Mozart Danube cruise made us feel right at home. Every detail was handled with care, from the outstanding dining (including a beautiful birthday cake for our granddaughter) to the well-organized shore excursions. A special shoutout to Karolina, the shore excursion manager, whose professionalism and personal touch made all the difference. The entire Debussy team was outstanding – truly a world-class experience!" 

“I 100% believe in Riverside and won’t sell anything else! … It is a no-brainer to sell … totally amazing!”

“I am almost without words to describe my experience onboard the Debussy from Riverside Luxury Cruises sailing from Amsterdam to Basel. Their attention to detail for service, cuisine, excursions, amenities, and the staff, were higher than any 5 star hotel, or 3 star Michelin rating I have ever experienced.”

“The staff took better care of me than my mom when I was sick!”

“The cruise was AWESOME.  Far exceeded my expectations and by far blows away the other 3 river cruise lines I have been on. Our friends who joined us and had never been on a river are sold and will only go on Riverside.” 

“Hit the ball out of the park, couldn’t have gone better, a slam dunk success! I’m a loyal fan, going to sell as much Riverside as I can – it’s a no brainer.”

“I recently sailed on the Riverside Mozart and whilst the onboard experience was everything that I expected what I didn’t expect was the exceptional service from my butler. I had been travelling prior to boarding the ship and had some laundry to do so I headed to the onboard laundry and on my return to my stateroom I ran into my butler. I was leaving for dinner shortly and was expecting to return to the laundry after dinner until I saw my butler approaching during dinner …to tell me that he had taken care of my laundry and everything was clean and now back in my stateroom, folded and put away in the drawers! Wow … now that’s what I call 6-star service!”

The Danube cruise with Riverside was a truly six-star experience. The cuisine was breathtaking – 30 different dishes every day, all of them delicious! The service was perfect, from the Vintage Room Experience to surprises such as masked waiters at the murder mystery dinner. The ship is modern, stylish and immaculately maintained. A trip you will never forget.

“We loved the cruise we took on the Riverside Mozart Ship to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary! The service from the ship's staff was top-notch, and best of all, we had incredible food and wine offerings at every single lunch and dinner, plus daily gourmet breakfast choices (with the option to have our butler bring breakfast to our suite). Such a fabulous vacation for foodies like us! It was our first river cruise, and we loved it.”
