Riverside Debussy
He was a real charmer. Poetry and charm characterise his works. His compositions were regarded at the time as the start of a “new form of music”, and the tours with the Riverside Debussy may also be understood as the dawn of a new era of river cruising on the Rhine. This ship is a luxury resort on water, and at the same time an island of tranquillity. It offers guests plenty of space and a first-class kitchen, while simultaneously guaranteeing privacy. The Riverside Debussy leaves nothing to be desired.

FINE CUISINE COMME IL FAUT!
Luxury means having a choice. On the Riverside Debussy, you have the choice between different culinary concepts. Our chefs will spoil you from breakfast to dinner – they prepare everything themselves, with regional, fresh products. The bread and jam are also baked and prepped on board. With the Riverside Debussy, travel has two dimensions to it: You will experience dreamlike landscapes and special cities, and at the same time our chefs will tailor their creations to the regions through which the ship is currently sailing. The same goes for wine. Here’s to life, and all the pleasure it brings!
