There is a photograph of the famous French composer Ravel in a casual pose in a leather armchair, looking dapper in a fine suit with waistcoat and silk tie. This photograph symbolises the Riverside Ravel. Travelling on this ship means enjoying comfort and culinary delights, experiencing sensuality, and enjoying an unforgettable luxury river cruise in France. As in Ravel's famous Boléro, she glides slowly and steadily along the Rhône and Saône - and is an attraction in herself.

ELEGANCE AND SPACE - OUR SUITES
There are some things in life that you can rely on. French cuisine, for example, with its fine products and ingredients. Tarte Tatin, boeuf bourguignon or crêpe suzette? Then there are the exquisite wines of the southern Rhône - with the fruit of Grenache, the flavour of Syrah or the power of Mourvèdre. Luxury river cruises on the Riverside Ravel are culinary voyages of discovery. Our chefs create exquisite dishes based on the themes of the region the boat is travelling through, using local produce. From jam to bread and rolls, everything on board is homemade. Convenience is a foreign word in the galleys of Riverside Luxury Cruises.
Owner's Suite
A dream in 750 square feet (70 m2) on the Debussy, the Owner's Suite features two bedrooms and two baths. There's also a stylish living room, where you can sit at the fireplace and read a book, dine privately with the family or sit at the desk and get a few things done on your laptop. Or on your own balcony. This suite guarantees guests a pristine appearance without any effort on your part. Give us your clothes - we'll wash and iron them. An exclusive limousine transfer between the airport or the train station will be looking forward to bring you on board.

COMME IL FAUT!
There are some things in life you can simply rely on. French cuisine, for example, with its high-quality products and ingredients. Tarte Tatin, Boeuf Bourguignon or Crêpe Suzette? Accompanied by a vintage wine from the south of the Rhône valley – with the fruitiness of Grenache, the spiciness of Syrah or the robustness of Mourvèdre. Voyages on the Riverside Ravel are culinary awakenings. With their fine creations our chefs take up the themes of the area that the ship is currently travelling through, and all the products come from the region in question, of course. Everything is made by hand on board, from the jam to the bread and bread rolls. Convenience is a taboo word in the galleys of Riverside Luxury Cruises.
Waterside
The oval marble counter at reception and the black wooden mosaic announce the elegant style of this restaurant, which serves an extensive buffet for lunch and then turns into a perfectly dimmed fine-dining world in the evenings. You sit on aqua-blue velvet armchairs at round tables here and can concentrate on one thing – enjoyment. And enjoy again and again.
Vintage Room
Bistro
And if you want to sleep a little longer sometimes – a late breakfast is guaranteed on board the Riverside Ravel. Go into the Bistro and the day can begin. The scent of fresh coffee and tempting bakeries will quickly lift your mood. In the evenings in the Bistro, whose style recreates that of a coffee house, we serve excellent tapas.
Vista Grill
Champagne is always welcome. Above all if it’s in the shadow of a sailcloth on the upper deck of the Ravel at midday, maybe enjoying a bite of fresh grilled langoustines or a steak and looking out at the landscape, which slowly and gently drifts by like a stage set. And what about a French 75 at sunset? Yes, that’s also what’s very special and romantic about this ship. Its upper deck is a laid-back lounge, a bar and grill and one thing above all for a river cruise ship – unique.
