Dining

Quality dining is an integral part of your river cruise experience – Riviera river cruise ships take this to the highest five-star levels with superb cuisine prepared by a dedicated brigade of chefs. Start the morning with a delicious breakfast. A very comprehensive lunch buffet allows a selection of as little or as much as you wish from a most appetizing selection. The day’s culinary highlight is the splendid four-course dinner: entrée, soup, main and dessert, all in the elegant ambience of a first-class restaurant.

Age Restrictions

Riviera river cruises are unable to accommodate children under 12 years old at the date of departure. Riviera river cruises reserves the right to limit the number of children on any particular trip. Any minor must be accompanied by and share a cabin with an adult aged 21 or over. If the adult is not the minor’s parent, a “Parental Consent Guardianship Form” must be signed by a parent or legal guardian prior to sailing.

Tipping

Tipping is entirely at your discretion and, while not compulsory, is always appreciated by the onboard team. An envelope will be provided in your cabin toward the end of the cruise. For guests wishing to tip for good service, a guideline of €70–€100 per person, per week is suggested and is shared among all crew members.
