Decks

Sun Deck
Here, you can catch the scenery change from the comfort of a sun lounger, sip cocktails on the deck and, when the sun starts to heat up, cool down with a dip in the plunge pool. Whether we're in port or sailing to our next destination, the Sun Deck is the place to relax.

Diamond Deck
The Diamond Deck is home to the social hub of the ship, the Panorama Loung 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 here after dinner to enjoy a digestif and the evening's entertainment.

The Bistro, located at the stern, is available at no extra charge for lunch and dinner. It offers a more intimate dining experience with an open kitchen, large panoramic windows and al fresco seating so you can admire the fantastic views. Here in the evenings, the chef presents his personal signature dishes to a small number of diners with menus varying according to the seasons.

All Grand Suites are located on the Diamond Deck as well as Superior Suites and Double Cabins.

Ruby Deck
The Ruby Deck can be summed up by the swish of a napkin and the clink of a glass. Our ship's main restaurant is located on the Ruby Deck, offering an exceptional service pairing seasonal menus with a glass of wine from our carefully curated wine list, including a selection of regional favourites. Our friendly and attentive staff are only too happy to help from recommendations to alternative dietary options, nothing is too much trouble. So, you can just sit back and delight in the wonderful elegance of your surroundings; beautifully laid tables of just 4 or 6 guests, crisp linen, deep wool carpets and warm wood panelling abound to offer a delectable dining experience of the highest order.

You'll usually find your Riviera Travel Cruise Director in the lobby area on the Ruby Deck as well as the reception desk where the helpful staff are on hand to assist you 24 hours a day. Close by, you'll also find our boutique shop.

On the Ruby Deck are Superior Suites and Double Cabins.

Emerald Deck
On the Emerald Deck is the fitness centre, perfect for working off all those delicious meals or, for something less strenuous, you could treat yourself to a relaxing massage.

Each evening, head towards the bow of the Emerald Deck to enjoy a set menu in our speciality restaurant - including vegetarian and vegan options – that showcase flavours inspired by destinations across the rivers of Europe.

 All cabins on the Emerald Deck are Double Cabins.
