Space, Light & Luxury Everywhere You Look.

At 135 metres, MS Riviera Radiance feels bright, airy and beautifully open throughout. Over 80% of cabins and suites feature floor-to-ceiling French balconies, filling every space with natural light.

The Grand Suites on the Diamond Deck are a true showstopper — an incredible 32m² with separate living and sleeping areas and a full balcony, making them the largest suites ever launched by Riviera.

Prefer something a touch smaller? The Superior Suites (24m²) offer the same refined, contemporary elegance.

Three Gorgeous Restaurants on board

Life onboard feels more like a chic boutique hotel than a ship. The main restaurant rivals top onshore dining rooms with fine European porcelain, gleaming glassware and the warm, intuitive Swiss-style service Riviera is known for.

Two speciality restaurants offer cosy dining experiences and flavour-rich menus inspired by the regions along your itinerary. One thing’s guaranteed — no guest goes hungry on Radiance!

Sustainable Sailing at Its Finest

Built with advanced green technology and strong environmental commitment, MS Riviera Radiance is on track to receive the Green Award Gold Standard. Guests can relax on the Sun Deck, cocktail in hand, knowing their sailing has been crafted to minimise environmental impact while celebrating the landscapes they explore.

Stay tuned on Travelbiz for more sparkling moments from Budapest as we celebrate Riviera Travel’s newest star!
