Ensemble has expanded its luxury cruise offerings with the addition of Riverside Luxury Cruises to its network of preferred partners, marking the river cruise line’s first partnership with a travel consortium.
Backed by the renowned German hospitality group Seaside Collection, Riverside offers a boutique-style, all-suite fleet with an emphasis on personalized, high-touch service. Each ship combines the intimacy of small-ship cruising with the luxury and sophistication of a five-star hotel.
Partnership Focused on Value and Service
“We are excited to welcome Riverside Luxury Cruises to Ensemble’s growing portfolio of luxury cruise partners,” said Rachel Grogan, Senior Director, Partner Relations, Cruise for Ensemble, in a media statement. “This partnership reflects our ongoing focus on delivering exceptional value to our members through enhanced commissions and unique client perks, as well as our commitment to aligning with brands that share our dedication to elevated service and immersive travel experiences.”
Through this new partnership, Ensemble advisors will benefit from exclusive perks, including:
- Enhanced commission structures
- Client savings on dining in the ship’s exclusive Vintage Room, one of Riverside’s most sought-after experiences
Sailing waterways such as the Rhine, Danube and Rhone, Riverside offers culturally immersive experiences paired with elevated onboard comfort. A standout feature of the line is its Butler Service, available in every suite, offering guests seamless support—from unpacking and spa reservations to curated excursions and private dining arrangements.
The partnership reflects Ensemble’s ongoing efforts to expand its cruise portfolio and strengthen advisor support. Programs such as Cruise Circles—a platform for collaboration and idea-sharing—and Cruise EMAPP (Ensemble Member Advisor Partner Panel) are designed to foster stronger supplier relationships while equipping advisors with resources, insights and networking opportunities to help grow their cruise sales.
