Creator's Key Takeaways

We fell in love with River Cruising 6 years ago. We love the ships, the destinations, and the food.

One of the incredible features of Riviera Radiance is its spa. So, there is an actual spa on board this river ship, perfect for pampering yourself.

This is going to be particularly nice when you're sailing down the Danube, in particular the Vako Valley. That is a gorgeous stretch.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book the Riverview Kitchen for dinner in advance at the reception desk.
✓Make a reservation for the Mosaic Restaurant at the reception desk in advance.
✓Don't miss the afternoon tea served in the lounge.
✓Speak to reception to borrow a bike for exploring destinations independently.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

I don't want to stop my gym routine on vacation. — There is a fitness suite with Techno Gym equipment, so you don't have to stop just because you're on a cruise.
I'm worried about getting seasick or being stuck inside on a river cruise. — There is a huge sun deck with plenty of room to sit, hammocks, and a heated plunge pool to enjoy the scenery.

AD. Join us for a look at Riviera Radiance, a new cruise ship that started sailing the River Danube in 2025. This vessel provides a boutique hotel experience, with ample space and three restaurants. Come with us to explore the ship and discover what makes this European river ship far from your average ship sailing on the Danube. We were invited to the official naming ceremony of Riviera Radiance in Budapest to experience what this ship has to offer.
