A Culinary Journey Like No Other

Riverside Luxury Cruises has earned a reputation for exceptional cuisine, recognized as the “Best in Dining on a River Cruise” by Cruise Critic’s Best in Cruise awards for two consecutive years. More than just a meal, dining aboard Riverside is a journey through flavor, craftsmanship, and the finest locally sourced ingredients.

Unlike others, Riverside offers multiple dining venues, each designed to elevate your culinary experience. Onboard, every meal is an experience—whether it’s an elegant multi-course dinner, a relaxed afternoon bite, or a spontaneous late-night indulgence, the choice is yours. Because at Riverside, luxury isn’t just about what’s included—it’s about having the freedom to choose.

  • The Bistro & Atelier – A European-inspired space that transforms throughout the day. Mornings feature fresh pastries, house-made jams, and artisanal cheeses. Afternoons offer charcuterie boards, decadent cakes, and light bites. In the evening, The Bistro becomes Atelier, an intimate dining experience where 12–14 seasonal dishes are served family-style, with chefs sharing the stories behind each creation.
  • Waterside – The ship’s Michelin-inspired main restaurant, where every dish is prepared à la minute using the freshest ingredients. Expect elevated à la carte selections that showcase impeccable technique and creativity.
  • Vista Bar & Grill – An open-air dining experience with perfectly grilled seafood, premium cuts of steak, and a full-service pop-up bar—all served with breathtaking river views.
  • The Vintage Room – An exclusive, intimate venue hosting up to12 guests for a seven-course wine-pairing dinner, personally introduced by the ship’s executive chef and sommelier. With a setting draped in fine linens and a menu crafted to perfection, this is a true gastronomic masterpiece. (A supplemental fee applies.)

From breakfast to dinner—and every moment in between—Riverside’s chefs are dedicated to creating unforgettable dining experiences. Every plate tells a story, every sip enhances the journey, and every meal is a celebration of culinary excellence.

Curated Excursions: Travel Beyond the Shoreline

Guests can cycle along scenic river paths, hike through rolling vineyards, or explore medieval fortresses with expert guides. Those with a passion for culture can enjoy exclusive access to world-renowned museums, attend private classical concerts in historic venues, or take part in hands-on culinary workshops with local chefs. Food and wine enthusiasts will delight in private tastings at family-owned vineyards, savor artisanal chocolates and cheeses, and dine at Michelin-recommended restaurants in some of Europe’s most celebrated wine regions. Whether strolling through cobblestone streets at a leisurely pace, indulging in an onboard spa treatment, or joining a small-group tour, every guest has the freedom to explore in their own way—ensuring that every moment ashore is as enriching as the time spent on board.

A Flexible Approach to Luxury Travel

Riverside Luxury Cruises offers a uniquely flexible pricing structure, allowing guests to customize their experience based on personal travel preferences. Unlike traditional all-inclusive river cruises, Riverside provides four distinct pricing tiers, ensuring travelers pay only for the level of service and inclusions they desire.
