The brand-new MS Riviera Resplendence provides the perfect balance of contemporary and cosy, with some of our biggest-ever suites.
Life on board the 135-metre MS Riviera Resplendence feels airy and light with split-level lounge and dining in the main restaurant and the floor-to-ceiling French balconies available in over 80% of cabins and suites. On the Diamond deck, the Grand Suites are an impressive 32 square metres and feature separate living and sleeping space as well as a full balcony. They're some of our largest suites yet! And, at 24 square metres, our Superior Suites feel luxuriously spacious too.
Our brand-new ship features all the facilities you'd expect to find in a boutique hotel. The main restaurant takes fine dining to another level, complemented by delicate European porcelain, gleaming glassware and the intuitive service in which the Swiss excel. On board are two additional, speciality restaurants, which offer a more intimate dining experience and showcase a delicious array of local flavours. You'll never go hungry on board!
Designed with the very latest technology and our strong environmental values in mind, MS Riviera Resplendence is on track to qualify for the Gold Standard as part of the Green Award programme. So, you can lay back, relax and enjoy that cocktail on the Sun Deck guilt-free knowing your holiday will have a minimised impact on the peaceful natural landscapes we cruise through, protecting the world we love exploring for future generations to enjoy.
A small number of bicycles are available on board for our guests. Please enquire at the reception desk for information.
Giving a gratuity is entirely at your discretion, so we have not included these in your holiday cost, and we don't add it as a set percentage.
If you would like to tip the staff, a good guideline is to give €8-12 per person per day should you feel that is appropriate.
If you do choose to give a gratuity, there will usually be an envelope is left in your cabin on the final evening. This is for you to be able include any tips, and you can then drop it off at reception the following morning. The tips are divided equally between the crew.
Should you also wish to give a gratuity directly to your Riviera Travel Cruise Director and Concierge, this is also at your discretion.

Get ready for the day's adventure with a buffet breakfast in the main dining room with hot and cold options. Onboard MS Riviera Resplendence you have three dining options for lunch and dinner. The main restaurant offers a buffet lunch and a four-course à la carte dinner. The Riverview Kitchen - available at no extra charge - takes its inspiration from a traditional grill restaurant and the Mosaic Restaurant where each course features a number of elements inspired by the rivers of Europe, paired with the perfect wine and selected by our sommelier.

We are a well-travelled collective - made up of our guests as well as our team. We'll admit it - we're obsessed with travel.
But that's not our only interest. We also love architecture, history, the arts, and gastronomy - everything that makes a culture unique. And we plan our itineraries to ensure we're catering to those interests. Perfecting every excursion to ensure you get the most out of your onshore adventures.
Most days are filled with full or half-day excursions. Whether that's a city tour, an introduction to a brand-new town or a more in-depth visit to a specific landmark or attraction. You'll see the very best of every destination. Not just the legendary locations, we'll uncover the top-secret local spots too.
The Diamond Deck is home to the social hub of the ship, the Panorama Lounge and Bar. From here, you can watch the waters of one of Europe's most beautiful waterways rush by and spot the small settlements that reside on the riverbank. And, after the day's adventure, you and your sun-kissed fellow travellers will congregate here to swap stories and discuss the highlights of the day, returning after dinner to enjoy a digestif and the evening's entertainment.
