MS Geoffrey Chaucer, Riviera Travel

Rhine Gorge Fri 02 Oct 2026

MS Geoffrey Chaucer, Riviera Travel

Life aboard MS Geoffrey Chaucer flows to the gentle rhythm of the river — calm, unhurried, and wonderfully enriching. Mornings begin with soft light spilling through your French balcony windows, perhaps enjoyed with a steaming cup of coffee as the ship glides past peaceful riverbanks and quaint villages. After a leisurely breakfast, you might join one of Riviera’s expertly guided excursions, uncovering the cultural treasures of the day’s destination, or simply set off on your own to wander cobbled streets and soak up the local atmosphere. Returning to the ship, the mood is one of relaxed refinement. You might linger over a light lunch in the restaurant, sip a glass of wine on the Sun Deck, or recline by the pool as the scenery unfolds around you. Afternoons are made for quiet pleasure, perhaps a visit to the spa, a swim beneath blue skies, or time spent reading in one of the ship’s peaceful lounges. As evening arrives, MS Geoffrey Chaucer takes on a gentle buzz of sociability. Guests gather in the Panorama Lounge for cocktails and conversation before dinner, where beautifully presented dishes capture the flavours of the regions explored that day. Later, soft live music fills the air, inviting you to relax with a nightcap or enjoy a stroll on deck beneath the stars. Each day aboard MS Geoffrey Chaucer blends exploration and tranquillity, where fine dining, warm company and the beauty of Europe’s rivers come together to create an unforgettable journey.
