1. Boutique ships with fewer guests

Most river ships have a capacity of less than 150 passengers, which means guests enjoy an exceptionally high crew-to-passenger ratio, personalised service and an intimate atmosphere onboard.

2. Luxurious staterooms

Likened to a luxury floating hotel, river cruise ships feature stunning accommodation, all of which come with an incredible view to immerse in the ever-changing landscape.

3. Unsurpassed views

Aboard a river cruise ship, every room has a view. Whether you’re in your stateroom or a restaurant, you’ll have a box seat to enjoy the beautiful scenery as you sail along the river.

4. Next-level culinary experiences

Dining onboard a river cruise is a culinary adventure. Designed around a paddock-to-plate philosophy, menus are regionally inspired and feature an array of produce sourced directly from ports along your route. Naturally, dining is accompanied by the service of fine wine and beer, also of local origin.

5. Travel right to the heart

Unlike ocean ships, a river cruise ship can take you right into the heart of a destination, literally docking in town so that you can step off your ship and immerse yourself straight into your dream destinations.

6. Exceptional service

With high crew-to-guest ratios, the service onboard a river cruise is second to none. Dedicated concierge services ensure all your needs are taken care of, whether you want to plan a port adventure or simply need a top-up on your champagne.
