New River Cruise Line Riverside Collection to Launch in Spring 2023
byDori Saltzman/在过去的几年中,已经推出了几条新的海洋巡航线,其中包括维珍航行,阿特拉斯海洋航行和仍然可以进行的Explora旅程。酒店公司还参与了邮轮业务,丽思卡尔顿(Ritz-Carlton)和四个季节宣布了新的游艇系列。现在,欧洲11个精品物业的所有者和运营商的海滨收藏品和马尔代夫的所有者和运营商正在使用Riverside Collection进入河流邮轮业务。
Beginning 2023, the line will offer luxury Danube River cruises aboard the MS Mozart, most recently owned and operated by Crystal Cruises. The boat will be renamed Riverside Mozart.
“When the opportunity arose to take over the Mozart, we didn’t hesitate,” said Gregor Gerlach, who founded Riverside Collection with his sister Anouchka. “With only 100 to 150 guests on board the Riverside Mozart, we can address guests more individually and provide a much more bespoke experience than on larger ocean vessels.”
According to the brand-new river cruise line, differentiators will include its crew-to-guest ratio and service culture that is “authentically personal in nature.”
每间套房中都包含的板载管家将为客人提供从预订和游览到特殊要求和独一无二的体验的任何需求。
On shore and onboard, wellness experiences will be curated to encourage guests to enjoy the river and surrounding countryside. In addition to treatment rooms for tailored massages and facials, Riverside Mozart’s wellness center will offer Finish saunas and steam rooms, as well as a swimming pool and Jacuzzi.
From a culinary perspective, the boat’s crew of trained sommeliers and bartenders will have access to special regional and global wines. As the boat passes through different regions of the Danube, the cuisine will change to offer the most local flavors and ingredients.
板载餐厅将包括小酒馆,蓝色和水边,而小组复古室将提供独家品尝菜单,并配有由头侍酒师选择的葡萄酒选择。
The double-wide Riverside Mozart features 81 cabins, ranging in size from 219 to 883 square feet.
Riverside Collection also offers fully inclusive and a la carte pricing.
