MS Riviera Resplendence is a contemporary European river ship operated by Riviera Travel and owned by Scylla AG. Entering service in July 2026, the 135-metre Radiance-class vessel carries up to 178 guests in 89 outward-facing cabins and suites. Its design emphasizes open, light-filled public spaces, including a split-level lounge and restaurant, while more than 80% of accommodations offer French balconies or larger private balconies. The ship is intended for Rhine, Danube, Main, Moselle and Dutch-waterway cruises.
The Radiance-class design features a split-level Panorama Lounge and main restaurant, expansive views, a sun deck with splash pool, and a lift serving the Sun Deck's three passenger accommodation decks. The four Grand Balcony Suites are the ship's largest accommodations, at approximately 32 square metres.
A small number of bicycles is available for guests to use. No dedicated children's facilities or family programming is identified in the current operator information.
Facilities include a fitness centre, spa and wellness area, massage services and a sun-deck splash pool.
An elevator connects the Emerald, Ruby and Diamond passenger decks. The operator does not publish a complete accessibility specification for cabins or public areas.
The ship was designed with newer technology and Riviera Travel's environmental objectives in mind, and the operator states that it is intended to qualify for the Green Award programme's Gold Standard.
