Crystal Ravel

Expanding its itineraries to include the Rhine, Rhône, and Saône for 2023, Riverside Luxury Cruises welcomes the MS Bach, MS Ravel, MS Mahler and MS Debussy to their fleet of luxury river ships.

Crystal River Cruises resumed its European river cruise operations on Sunday [29 August 2021] as Crystal Ravel sailed from Vilshofen on a seven-night Danube itinerary. It was Crystal’s first river departure in nearly 18 months. The voyage was followed on Monday with the return of Crystal Debussy on a week-long sailing from Basel.

Crystal has launched its 2022 River Atlas, a comprehensive 184-page digital guide detailing the award-winning line’s 2022 season of all-inclusive European river cruises for all-balcony Rhine Class ships Crystal Bach, Crystal Debussy, Crystal Mahler, and Crystal Ravel, as well as Crystal Mozart. The guide details day-by-day itineraries for destination-rich river cruises on the Danube, Rhine, Moselle and Main.

Crystal is planning to recommence European river cruising from late August 2021, with all four Rhine-Class ships.

With 45 unique ports of call, dozens of which are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, every voyage features at least one overnight stay, many with double and even triple overnights, allowing guests to further immerse themselves in the ports’ charm and history, or venture to nearby towns for broader experiences.
