MS William Wordsworth, Riviera Travel

Mornings aboard MS William Wordsworth might begin with the soft light of dawn filtering through your French balcony windows, perhaps accompanied by a freshly brewed coffee as the ship glides past misty riverbanks. After a leisurely breakfast, you might join a guided excursion to explore a grand European capital or simply wander the cobbled streets of a quaint riverside village. Returning to the ship, the atmosphere is one of quiet refinement. You can enjoy a light lunch in the restaurant, recline by the splash pool with a book, or watch the world go by from the comfort of the Sun Deck. Afternoons are made for relaxation, perhaps with a spa treatment, a gentle stroll on deck, or a chat with fellow guests over tea. As evening descends, MS William Wordsworth takes on a new charm. Guests gather in the Panorama Lounge for cocktails and conversation before dinner, where exquisite menus reflect the flavours of the regions explored that day. Later, the gentle notes of live music fill the air, setting the tone for a night of elegance and ease. Each day aboard blends discovery and serenity, creating a perfect harmony of culture, comfort, and the Riviera’s signature sophistication.

Suite - Ruby Deck

More Info

A gleaming wood door opens revealing your exceptionally appointed suite. At 17 square metres (183 square feet), its generous dimensions are amongst the largest you will find on a cruiser gracing any European river. Imaginatively designed and appointed to the highest specification, with all the luxury you would expect to find in a smart ‘boutique style’ hotel, your comfort definitely won’t be compromised on any level! The gleaming marble bathroom features a powerful fully glazed shower with a large ‘rainshower’ head, superbly refreshing after a hard day’s sightseeing. Clever design allows for ample space, and contemporary lighting, complimentary cosmetics by ‘Crabtree and Evelyn’ and fluffy towels, makes preparing for the day ahead an absolute pleasure. The chic styling of a talented designer’s eye extends to the entire suite with generous use of hand-crafted tropical hardwoods blended with premium fittings, discreet thoughtful lighting and a colour scheme of calming neutral tones, creating an ambience to put you in the most relaxed frame of mind from the very first minute! A full size bed assures a good night’s rest in crisp cotton linen of the finest quality - a turndown service each evening adds the finishing touch. Please note all suites have two twin beds with individual bedding which can be moved together or separated accordingly. You will enjoy a particularly generous seating area with two chairs and a table, enabling you to unwind in comfort in the privacy of your own suite whilst a bow camera conveys live images of the ship’s progress to your flat screen TV, ensuring you won’t miss a thing. Careful consideration has been given to the tiniest details with individually controlled air-conditioning so you set the temperature that you desire, a hairdryer, safe, minibar, telephone and the convenience of tea (our meticulous planning even extends to familiar teabags!) and coffee making facilities ensure a familiar home from home experience. Suites on the Diamond and Ruby Decks have ‘French Balconies’ – panoramic floor to ceiling sliding glass doors bringing riverside life just that little closer!
