What are the benefits of booking a Balcony Suite on a European river cruise?

One of the key attractions of Europe river cruising is the chance to admire the beautiful passing scenery of historic castles, timeless towns and picturesque vineyards. Rather than heading upstairs to the Sun Deck to take in the panoramic views, you can enjoy these scenes at your convenience, from the comfort of your suite’s balcony. Wake up to the sights, sounds and smells of Europe as you arrive at a new charming town, whether it’s the clattering of hooves as a horse trots past or the smell of freshly baked bread from a local market. The prestigious upper level Horizon Deck offers elevated views from our full length balconies. With more natural light bathing your suite, you will find it much more spacious, especially during the winter. 

As well as the beautiful river views and additional space of a Balcony Suite, you can also receive extra benefits. For those choosing a Grand Balcony Suite, you can look forward to an in-suite Nespresso machine for that added home comfort, a pillow menu for the perfect night’s sleep and complimentary Wi-Fi. Why not order a delicious continental breakfast which can be enjoyed on your balcony, enjoy pre-dinner canapés and after-dinner sweet treats served in your suite as well as two items of laundry per cabin, per day. Guests staying in the Owner’s One Bedroom Suite will also receive an invitation to dinner at the Captain’s Table.

As a way of saying thank you for travelling with us, our loyalty guests can look forward to a wide range of benefits. By booking a balcony suite, you can earn up to 50% more points per day on all river cruises throughout Europe and along the Mekong River. You can also enjoy all the additional pre-travel, onboard rewards and exclusive member-only savings and offers that increase in value as you progress towards Silver, Gold and Diamond tiers.

Our Emerald Panorama Balcony Suites range from 14.9m² to 16.7m² with plenty of space to unpack and enjoy your suite to the full. Situated on the Vista and Horizon Decks, Emerald Panorama Balcony Suites boast our revolutionary indoor balcony design, complete with decking area, table and chairs, providing an entirely new space for you to enjoy the landscapes you pass. At the touch of a button, the upper part of the suite’s floor-to-ceiling windows drops down to unveil uninterrupted views of Europe, so all you have to do is sit back and relax.
