With Valentine’s Day serving as an annual reminder that the most meaningful love stories are deeply personal, Riverside Luxury Cruises is offering couples a new way to celebrate theirs – by tying the knot while sailing one of Europe’s legendary rivers.
Riverside has introduced intimate wedding group packages designed for couples seeking privacy, elegance and a slower, more immersive approach to destination weddings, set against the scenery of the Rhône, Rhine and Danube rivers.
Riverside’s approach is intentionally intimate. Ceremonies and celebrations take place in thoughtfully designed onboard spaces that preserve both privacy and the serene onboard experience. For smaller weddings, celebrations are hosted in the ship’s Vintage Room, an elegant venue well suited to gatherings that feel personal and focused. Depending on the ship, the space accommodates up to 10 or 12 guests, allowing couples to share the occasion with their closest family and friends.
For couples dreaming bigger, full-ship charters transform the vessel into a private floating venue 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 – while enjoying a multi-day celebration that unfolds as the ship sails through historic cities, vineyards, and villages. The result is a shared European experience that extends well beyond the wedding day.
Wedding group packages include a chef-curated wedding dinner, customized menus, wedding cake and floral décor arranged in collaboration with local suppliers along the route. Additional details, from pressed wedding attire and special in-suite touches to private guided excursions with Champagne, are designed to ensure the experience feels seamless and considered from start to finish.
Packages prices are customized to each unique wedding, inquire for more information.

When you ask for our recommendations, Ralph personally reviews your preferences and responds at no cost. If you would like help booking, he can refer you to his daughter, Britton Frost, a Cruise Planners travel advisor, or to another qualified travel advisor when appropriate.

She can help you compare fares and promotions, choose the right itinerary and stateroom, manage important booking details, and serve as your advocate if questions or problems arise. You are never obligated to book, and Ralph’s recommendations are not influenced by commissions, commercial relationships, or which cruise line or travel advisor ultimately receives your booking.
