What to expect from Riverside Debussy

Overview

Charming and poetic, the compositions of Debussy created a beautiful bridge between romanticism and the developing modern world. So too will your ship, the Riverside Debussy, deliver the rich history of Europe along with all the modern comforts that bring you joy. The best of both worlds await you on the romantic Rhine river, where we are creating unique journeys that will allow you to see the old world in an entirely new, and oh so luxurious way.

He was a true charmer — his music full of poetry and elegance. Claude Debussy’s compositions marked the beginning of a “new form of music,” and in that same spirit, the Riverside Debussy ushers in a new era of river cruising on the Rhine. This ship is both a luxury resort on water and a haven of tranquillity. With spacious accommodations, exceptional cuisine, and a commitment to privacy, Riverside Debussy leaves nothing to be desired

Accommodation

Our suites on the Debussy

The Riverside Debussy sets a new standard in river cruising. Each suite is appointed with the finest materials—refined fabrics, rich velvets, and supple leather—paired with elegant bathrooms and king-size beds. The color palette reflects the natural tones of the surrounding landscape, creating a calming and sophisticated ambiance. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows invite the beauty of the outside world in, allowing you to take in the view even from the comfort of your bed. Our suites differ only in size and subtle design details—each one a sanctuary of comfort and style.

Owner's Suite

A state-of-the-art space, and our largest suite. A home on board. Nature can be savoured not just from the comfort of your bed, but also from the bathroom. If you feel like intimacy and privacy, you can sit in your own salon by the fireplace. Read a book or take a nap on the sofa. Or watch TV in the evening. A butler will collect your clothes and bring them back washed and ironed. Pure luxury.

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. Thanks to the generous floor-to-ceiling windows, the first view after waking up is out into nature. Your clothing will find space in the walk-in closet, of course. And like the Owner’s Suite, guests in this suite enjoy individual limousine transfers.

Dining

EXCLUSIVE CULINARY ON THE DEBUSSY

Luxury is about choice – and aboard the Riverside Debussy, you’ll enjoy a variety of exceptional culinary experiences. From breakfast to dinner, our chefs prepare each dish themselves using fresh, regional ingredients. Even the bread and jam are made onboard. Dining becomes part of the journey, as our menus are thoughtfully crafted to reflect the flavors of the regions we sail through. The same care is taken in selecting wines that complement both the cuisine and the destinations. With Riverside Debussy, travel becomes a feast for the senses – where every moment is meant to be savored.

Exquisite Dining, Thoughtfully Prepared.

Luxury means having a choice. On the Riverside Debussy, you have the choice between different culinary concepts. Our chefs will spoil you from breakfast to dinner – they prepare everything themselves, with regional, fresh products. The bread and jam are also baked and prepped on board. With the Riverside Debussy, travel has two dimensions to it: You will experience dreamlike landscapes and special cities, and at the same time our chefs will tailor their creations to the regions through which the ship is currently sailing. The same goes for wine. Here’s to life, and all the pleasure it brings!

Waterside Restaurant

It is a gourmet island with a buffet in the morning and 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 – we promise.

Vintage Room

A place for gourmets and fine wine enthusiasts. The Vintage Room aboard the Riverside Debussy offers an exclusive culinary experience. On selected evenings, our chefs present a refined 6- to 7-course menu, perfectly paired with exquisite wines carefully chosen by our Head Sommelier.

Up to 10 guests gather at the long table to indulge in the fine art of dining in an elegant and intimate atmosphere. For a lighter daytime option, the Champagne Vintage Room offers a thoughtfully composed 4-course lunch menu. Exceptional craftsmanship, elegant surroundings, and distinguished wines make the Vintage Room the perfect setting for unforgettable evenings. Additional charges apply.

Atelier

At the Atelier, refined flavors, seasonal ingredients, and creative culinary craftsmanship come together to create light, elegant dishes that elevate your day. In the morning, we delight you with fragrant coffee and freshly baked pastries – the perfect start to a leisurely breakfast. At midday, inspired compositions await you, and in the evening, the Atelier reveals its most sophisticated side: pure, refined, and full of flavor. Culinary artistry with a delicate touch.

Additional charges may apply depending on your selected culinary package.

Vista Deck

Home to our bar and barbecue, the Vista Deck is another standout feature on the Riverside Debussy. Picture this: freshly grilled scampi for lunch at our Uniquely Riverside barbecue, a crisp glass of regional Riesling in hand, and the UNESCO-protected, romantic landscapes between Bingen and Bacharach drifting by. Or perhaps you’re toasting the sunset with champagne as the striking silhouettes of the North Rhine’s industrial heritage come into view. Life doesn’t get much better than this.

Health and Fitness

MOVEMENT, MINDFULNESS, AND PURE RELAXATION

Our spa is designed in soft, natural tones to create a calming atmosphere and offer you moments of pure tranquility. A highly trained therapist will focus on your individual needs, with each treatment tailored just for you.

On board the Riverside ships, you do not have to give up your daily sports routines. With modern Technogym equipment, free weights, balls and Thera-bands, you can enjoy the perfect workout in our gym. Whether muscle building or cardio, everything is possible. Of course, there are also towels ready and water to quench your thirst.
