Riverside Ravel

There is a photo of the famous French composer Ravel showing him in a relaxed pose in a leather armchair, with a well-groomed appearance, a bespoke suit, and with a waistcoat and silk tie. This photo symbolically stands for Riverside Ravel. A voyage on this ship means enjoying comfort and fine cuisine, stimulating the senses and experiencing the unforgettable. As in Ravel’s famous Boléro, you will glide slowly at a constant rhythm over the Rhône and Saône – and it is an attraction in itself.

Dining

FINE CUISINE – 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.

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.

Food type: Food Hall

Dining Experience: Cover charge may apply

Vista Grill

Riverside Luxury Cruises Pop Up Bar and Sun Deck - Ian Schemper Photography2.jpg

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.

Food type: BBQ & Grill

Dining Experience: Cover charge may apply

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.

Food type: Fine Dining

Dining Experience: Cover charge may apply

Vintage Room

Our Vintage Room is something like the superlative of the word “exclusive”. A room for dinner in intimate groups of up to 10 people – on special evenings. You’ll sit on cadet grey leather armchairs and will eat in the lap of luxury. The gilt-edged cabinets to keep the wines at the right temperature already reveal that the best vintages will accompany the menu. The chef will discuss the dishes with the sommelier down to the smallest detail. The Vintage Room can also be booked for private parties with friends.
