Background
MS Riviera Rose
Overview

Cruise the Douro river on the brand-new, beautifully crafted MS Riviera Rose, a luxurious 80-metre-long boutique hotel. It’s the perfect place to unwind between onshore adventures.

MS Riviera Rose is a beautifully crafted ship with cabins and amenities spread over four decks. This brand-new, state-of-the-art ship has been built in collaboration with our long-standing shipping partners to provide a first-class service to each and every guest. Whether you are relaxing on the Sun Deck, enjoying a drink with your fellow travellers in the bar or curling up for a good night's sleep in your spacious and well-furnished cabin, everything has been meticulously designed for your comfort.

Our restaurant offers a relaxed fine dining experience with informal seating for easy conversation with brilliant, like-minded explorers. In the Rio restaurant enjoy a more intimate dining experience and al fresco dining options. Please note: Due to low bridges, lunch and dinner service is restricted as the restaurant collapses to allow the ship to navigate safely under the bridges. Please talk to your Cruise Director to make your reservation.

The spacious cabins are spread over 3 decks, with individually controlled air-conditioning, a contemporary bathroom with a rain shower and double or twin beds.

Designed with the very latest technology and our strong environmental values in mind, MS Riviera Rose is on track to qualify for the Gold Standard as part of the Green Award programme.
