Welcome aboard the Riverside Debussy
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.
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.
LIVING AREADebussy’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.
LIVING AREAThe name says it all. Everything flows here in both senses of the word. And the flow of the river can already be seen through the panoramic window from the bed in the morning. Enjoy style and comfort, perfectly formed, a King size bed or optionally also twin beds. Sheer luxury far away from everyday worries – for romanticism à deux. But also for solo travellers.
BEDROOMThe visuals: perfect. The feel: a dream. Our Seahorse Suites combine the practical with the beautiful. Even the bathrooms are made of marble, have a double sink and offer a wonderful amount of space. And they let you start the day in a way that couldn’t be more beautiful: with your tea or a coffee in bed – and a view of nature.

BATHROOM
At nearly 18 square metres it’s a little smaller, but you’ll still enjoy great comfort in a Symphony Suite. Luxuriate in bed covers made of the finest cotton and start your day with a tea or coffee in bed with a view outdoors. The rain shower in the bathroom will revitalise you with energy for the day. A small desk offers you the opportunity to make some notes – after all, travelling with the Ravel is rich in experiences.
BEDROOMJust as a melody can strike the listener’s mood, so too do our Melody Suites ensure the greatest of moods among our guests. Simply beautiful. Almost small worlds of comfort in themselves – with king-size bed and rain shower in the marble-tiled bathroom. The colours in these suites blend into a successful unity. Just like a melody.
BEDROOM
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.
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.
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.
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.
Welcome to the Botanist Bar – your refined retreat for extraordinary cocktails inspired by herb gardens and spice racks. Here, every drink is a fragrant homage to nature. With great skill and creativity, our bartenders craft sophisticated compositions using aromatic herbs, exotic spices, fresh fruits, and floral essences. Whether it’s lavender, thyme, mint, or rosemary – many ingredients are transformed into house-made syrups and infusions, then paired with premium spirits to create truly unique taste experiences.
A special location with delicate drinks and a very special ingredient — the best view on board!
The Swimming Pool can be found on the Riverside Deck.
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. Whether it’s a massage, facial, or body scrub, every experience is soothing, restorative, and a true pleasure for both body and soul.
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.
