Riverside Luxury Cruises has introduced intimate wedding group packages set against the scenery of the Rhone, Rhine and Danube rivers. For smaller weddings, celebrations are hosted in the ship’s Vintage Room, which, depending on the ship, accommodates up to 10 or 12 guests. Larger groups can opt for full-ship charters where the vessel is reserved exclusively for the couple and their guests. With the ship entirely to themselves, couples may choose to host their ceremony in one of the ship’s public spaces—such as the open-air Vista Deck, the light-filled Palm Court or the Vintage Room.

Wedding group packages include a chef-curated wedding dinner, customized menus, a bespoke wedding cake and floral decor arranged in collaboration with local suppliers along the route. Additional details include pressed wedding attire and special in-suite touches to private guided excursions with Champagne. Package prices are customized to each wedding.
