Crystal River Cruises

Showcasing Europe’s most fascinating and fairytale locations

The launch of Crystal Mozart, the largest and most spacious ship on Europe’s rivers, in 2016 ushered in a new era of luxury in the river cruising industry.

With a focus on more overnight stays and longer days in port to maximise guests’ authentic experience in each destination, Crystal River Cruises showcases Europe’s most fascinating and fairytale locations.

Crystal expanded its fleet in 2017 with the debut of the first two of four identical ships, Crystal Bach and Crystal Mahler, which offer voyages along the Rhine, Main, Danube and Moselle rivers.

The first all-suite, all-balcony river ships in Europe, with every category of accommodations situated above the water line, were joined in spring 2018 by Crystal Debussy and Crystal Ravel.

Extraordinary personal attention, butler service for every suite and superb, farm-to-table cuisine are among the defining characteristics of Crystal River Cruises, as are plush onboard amenities, the largest luxury suites in river cruising, expansive social spaces crowned with skylights and glass roofs, and an ambience of boutique elegance.

Crystal’s all-inclusive experience offers Michelin-inspired cuisine, unlimited pours of fine wines and premium spirits, all gratuities (shipboard and shoreside), daily fitness and yoga classes, unlimited Wi-Fi and use of Atlanta eBikes in select destinations.

Throughout the Crystal River fleet, each suite also offers ETRO amenities, robes and slippers, wall-mounted 42-inch, flat-screen HD TVs with streaming movies, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Additional features include a spa, with Crystal Mozart having the largest of all European river ships, and separate fitness center and open-seating eateries including the elegant Waterside Restaurant, namesake Bistro cafés, and the intimate Vintage Room.

Ashore, a curated Crystal Collection of complimentary experiences offers a programme for cultural enrichment and active adventure.
