The five-star MS George Eliot – named after one of the leading English novelists of the 19th century – is 110 metres of fine Swiss engineering and craftsmanship.
As with all Riviera Travel cruise ships, MS George Eliot was built to the highest specifications and strict safety regulations by Scylla AG, world-renowned builders of the most modern cruisers in Europe.
Guests are welcomed in the elegant lobby with its gleaming marble floor, well-lit by sophisticated lighting. Thoughtful design is on tasteful display throughout the ship – sustainable hardwood furniture, intricate wrought-iron work, and polished copper and brass are beautifully complemented by soft leather and sumptuous Italian fabrics.
MS George Eliot offers the convivial ambience and personal service of a luxury boutique hotel with an enjoyable and intimate service.
There are 70 luxuriously appointed suites and cabins, which all feature an en-suite bathroom with shower, individually controlled air-conditioning, flat-screen TV, hairdryer, safe, mini fridge, telephone and facilities for making tea and coffee. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship.

Do I need to bring a travel adapter?
No. One of the key comforts on all Riviera Travel river ships is that every cabin and suite is equipped with standard UK 3-pin sockets. You can plug your hairdryers, chargers, and other devices straight in, just like at home.
Are there tea and coffee making facilities in the cabin?
Yes. Unlike many other European river cruise lines, Riviera ensures every cabin comes with a kettle and a supply of tea and coffee, so you can enjoy a hot drink in your room whenever you like.
What is the dress code on board?
The atmosphere across the fleet is relaxed and friendly. The dress code is smart casual. While guests often choose to dress up a little more for the Welcome and Captain’s Dinners (e.g., a jacket or dress), black tie is never required.
Is Wi-Fi included?
Yes, complimentary Wi-Fi is available on all ships. It is perfect for checking emails and staying in touch, though connection speeds can vary depending on the local signal and when the ship is passing through locks.
