Medical Facilities

There are no medical facilities or doctors aboard Riverside ships. If required, medical services can be accessed quickly through local shoreside facilities. Guests who require ongoing medication or who have specific dietary needs are advised to bring an ample supply of medication or dietary supplements with them in their carry-on luggage. Please be advised that we are not permitted to carry any over-the-counter medicine.

Riverside Luxury Cruises reserves the right, without liability, to refuse to board and transport guests who need constant care by the staff.

Our Laundry is obliged to provide you with all the services you need, however – we offer our guests a fully equipped self-service laundry with Miele washing machines and driers as well as an ironing-board.

Internet Access

Riverside ships provide guests with complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi.

NOTE: Service may be interrupted along certain river stretches and while the ship is transiting locks.

Dress Code

On Ship & In Ports

Comfortable and smart casual is perfect on board or in ports for sightseeing. Visits to cathedrals and churches along the river require covered shoulders and knees (no shorts), even during the summer months. Pack at least one pair of comfortable, sturdy shoes, as many shore excursions include walking on cobblestones or other uneven surfaces. If you plan to bike, hike, or participate in other sports-related excursions, please be sure to bring clothing suitable for your activities.

Dining Room – Waterside

During the day, Dining Room attire is casual, however, swimsuits, cover-ups / robes, and baseball hats are not permitted.

In the evening, T-shirts, shorts, and flipflops are not permitted in the Dining Room. We recommend the following attire:

Ladies: Blouse, sweater, trousers, skirt, dress, pashmina / jacket / scarf for fall and winter months.

Gentlemen: Open-collar shirt, collared polo shirt, button-down shirt, dress shirt (no tie required), dress trousers / smart trousers, sport jacket, overcoat / scarf for fall and winter months.

Should you decide to dine on your own at a more formal restaurant on land or attend a theater performance, then a jacket and tie may be preferred or required for gentlemen. Be sure to pack appropriately for all your planned experiences.

Change of Itineraries

We have prepared extensively for when unexpected circumstances, such as disruptive weather patterns or lock delays & closures, occur. Whilst we make every effort to minimize disruptions, the nature of river cruising dictates an expectation of deviations in the published itinerary.

Excursions

In each port we visit, Riverside Luxury Cruises offers a selection of RIVERSIDE CHOICE shore excursions. Select excursions are included in the Excursion Package; others can be selected and booked according to your personal preferences.

We expect our shore excursion operators to meet our high standards, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable land experience. When you book excursions arranged by us, we promise:

Safety: Our tour operators meet and exceed our high safety standards and insurance requirements.

Convenience: Drop-off and pick-up points in each port are coordinated with your ship’s arrival / departure.

Comfort: By limiting the group size, our excursions deliver a more intimate and personalized experience. All shore excursions operate using an audio-guide device for each participant, so you’ll never miss a word of your guide’s fascinating commentary.

Protection: No penalties are charged in the event of site closures or sailing time changes.

No Hidden Fees: All-inclusive pricing means entry fees / admissions, transportation, refreshments (where applicable), etc., are included, as detailed in the tour description.

Butler Service

Our all-Suite cruise ships include Butler services for every guest. Dedicated Butlers provide exceptional levels of comfort and care daily, which may include packing / unpacking luggage, scheduling laundry and pressing services, shoeshine, serving hors d’oeuvres / meals in the Suite when requested, deliveries, providing recommendations, and assistance making reservations on board for restaurants and spa appointments, as well as on shore for excursions, private arrangements, restaurants, theater / opera, etc.

Transfers to and from ship

On the days of embarkation and disembarkation, Riverside Luxury Cruises is pleased to provide complimentary transfers between the ship and select airports. Service is offered to/from the following airports: BUD (Budapest Ferenc Liszt International), MUC (Munich International for Passau) and VIE (Vienna International). Guests traveling to/from other airports, train stations or local hotels may reserve private car transfers for an additional charge.

All guests arriving by air (either international or domestic), must claim their luggage, clear customs and then will be met by our Riverside Luxury Cruises‘ representative in the arrivals hall (not in the baggage claim area).

Solo Travellers

We get things started in the Harmony Suite (Riverside Mozart) and Melody Suite (Riverside Debussy and Riverside Ravel), where solo travelers enjoy no suite surcharge, subject to availability.

Wheelchair Accessibility

Wheelchair accessibility is limited on Riverside ships. There is an elevator between the main decks, but it does not reach Vista Deck 4. The Dining Room and Lounge can accommodate wheelchairs; Suites cannot, as they have thresholds between the room and bathroom and door widths that do not accommodate wheelchairs. When the ship is full, the wheelchair may need to be stored in the Suite. As gangways may not be wide enough to accommodate the width of a wheelchair or scooter, guests with limited mobility are required to get on and off the ship without a wheelchair. The wheelchair can be taken off and brought back on to the ship separately. Please note that it is customary to dock at other riverboats during the port stay. In this case, guests must be able to walk over these vessels to get ashore.

NOTE: It is common to tie up to other river ships while in port. When this occurs, guests must walk across the ships, sometimes up and over the top decks, where there is only stair access.
