Riverside river cruises (Crystal Passengers)

[crickette]

I am wondering if any Crystal cruisers have travelled on Mozart/Bach/Ravel/Debussy since they became the Riverside fleet.  Have you heard from anyone who has sailed this year?

I saw that Cruisecritic´s editor-in-chief´s husband is currently onboard the Riverside Mozart. I don´t know whether she is also onboard. But we might hear more soon.

All three ships are still in a winter harbour on the Waal (Rhine). I suppose it means they have not sailed this year yet?

OMG - I LOVED this ship!!!!! I miss this ship.

 

It doesn't look much different from when it was Crystal. Even the green glasses in the dining room.

 

Love it.

The next ship going into service is the Riverside Ravel in August.

I was onboard for a ship tour of the Riverside Mozart last month in Vienna while cruising through on Uniworld and I've booked "A Taste of Christmas" for November. Can't wait to sail the Riverside Mozart, also looking at booking the Riverside Ravel for next October,

Thanks @WanderlustJourney  I look forward to your review(s).  Riverside sounds very appealing, but I'm waiting to hear how comfortable North Americans feel onboard (after our cruises on Ponant where we felt second-class to the French passengers).

I’m also very much interested in how the onboard experience would be.  The pricing for 2024 appears fairly reasonable.

I think it has been briefly mentioned before, the Debussy is coming next year. Here are a few details: https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/tour-operators/riverside-luxury-cruises-to-launch-third-ship-in-march
