Riverside Debussy is a luxury river cruise ship launched in 2018, a floating resort that combines generous space with intimate privacy on the Rhine. With a gross tonnage of 5000 and a sleek 135-metre length by a 12-metre beam, it sails at up to 12 knots and welcomes 110 guests served by a dedicated crew of 85 across four decks and 55 cabins. The ship's design emphasises refined comfort: a first-class kitchen delivering restaurant-quality dining, expansive public areas for socialising or quiet reflection, and tranquil spaces designed to feel like an island of calm on the water. Onboard activities are thoughtfully curated to complement the itineraries, from chef demonstrations and wine pairings in the dining venues to guided shore excursions and enrichment talks that illuminate the Rhine's towns and landscapes. Guests can also indulge in wellness and fitness facilities, relax on panoramic decks and in the observation lounge, or enjoy evenings of live music and intimate performances. The Riverside Debussy is mindful of practical needs, with EU 2-pin 220V plugs (adapters not provided), ensuring guests can stay connected while enjoying the voyage. In short, it offers generous space, privacy, and a level of service that makes every journey along the Rhine feel both grand and deeply personal.

Excursions
VARIATION OF EXCURSIONS
And there's something else that sets us apart: our itineraries can be extended and combined as desired. Our short routes are perfect for newcomers to the world of river cruising. A variation of excursions can be booked according to personal interest and preference. We satisfy passions and also awaken them: architecture and design, art and cuisine, history and nature - these are our themes. And in addition we can also organize your vacation days before or after your Riverside Luxury Cruise.
Waterside Restaurant
It is a gourmet island with a buffet at lunchtime and a Michelin star-level, fine-dining world in the evening. The oval marble counter and the black-brown wooden mosaic at the entrance of the Waterside Restaurant already hint at a truly stylish interior here. Here, you sit on royal blue velvet armchairs and will do one thing above all: enjoy. Our chefs will enchant you. Promise.
Vintage Room
Special occasions need a special place. Our Vintage Room is just such a place: a room for small group dinners for up to 10 people. So much style: Here you sit on comfortable grey leather armchairs and enjoy Michelin star-level creations. Cabinets set in gold to temper the wines already reveal that only the very best is served here, finely tuned to each individual course. The Vintage Room can also be booked for private parties with friends.
Bistro
When the smell of freshly brewed coffee and tempting pastries hits your nose in the morning, you know: Here, you can enjoy a wonderful breakfast even if you are a late riser. Our bistro was modelled on a coffee house. In the evening, you will be sure to enjoy the simple things here: Tapas will let your heart sing. In culinary terms, these are matched to the region in which the ship has just docked – or through which it is currently sailing.
Vista Upper Deck
This deck is a bar and barbecue and another highlight on the Riverside Debussy. How about eating freshly grilled scampi for lunch, drinking a glass of Riesling from the region and letting the UNESCO-protected, romantic landscape between Bingen and Bacharach pass by? Or gazing at the cool and simultaneously grandiose testimonies to North Rhine’s industrial culture with a glass of champagne as the sun sets? Oh, life is beautiful!

Debussy Suite
Debussy’s works have an inherent gliding, floating, almost sublime quality to them. And the same goes for this suite by the same name. It is a place of ease, a place of contemplative gliding – along with all the comforts and luxuries you’d wish for.

And like the Owner’s Suite, guests in this suite enjoy individual limousine transfers.
