After just completing its first year of operation, Riverside Luxury Cruises has been recognized among the top 10 best river cruise lines in the 29th edition of Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards. The annual readers survey highlights the best travel destinations and organizations across the globe.

“We are delighted to be recognized by Travel + Leisure’s readers, and it is particularly gratifying to be named among the World’s Best Awards after only being in service for one year,” said Jen Halboth, CEO of Riverside Luxury Cruises.

Riverside is Europe’s newest river cruise line offering distinctive vacations on the Rhine, Rhône, Danube, Moselle, and Main rivers. The all-suites Riverside Mozart, Riverside Ravel, and newly inaugurated Riverside Debussy – all former Crystal River vessels -- offer the most spacious accommodations, highest staff-to-guest ratio, and more onboard amenities than other river lines.

“We have always aimed for excellence and this award honours the exceptional staff and crew aboard Riverside’s three most luxurious river ships, as well as our management. We thank readers for cruising with us and appreciate our valued travel advisor partners for recommending Riverside Luxury Cruises,” Holboth added.

Travellers can still reserve a 2024 or 2025 all-inclusive, European river cruise with Riverside Luxury Cruises. Early booking savings of up to 25% is available for 2025 voyages and the line is offering no single supplements for select suites on nearly all sailings.

On board, guests enjoy butler service in every suite; gourmet cuisine made with high-quality, fresh ingredients; included premium wines and spirits; complimentary StarLink broadband Wi-Fi; unlimited shore excursions to immerse in Europe’s history, cultures and landmarks; prepaid gratuities; and complimentary ground transfers.
