MS William Shakespeare

MS William Shakespeare

Welcome Aboard!

MS William Shakespeare

Our long history with the MS William Shakespeare dates back to 2015. Built to our exacting specifications - with the help of one of Europe's most experienced luxury ship builders - no expense was spared to ensure you travel in complete comfort. Sustainably sourced tropical hardwoods, highly polished brass and wrought iron fittings add to the elegant décor.

Cabins & Accommodation

Cabins on the Hamlet (upper) and Othello (middle) decks have “French Balconies” with full floor to ceiling glazed doors. These have another unique innovative feature – a first on any river cruise ship.

Onboard Experiences

Our long history with the MS William Shakespeare dates back to 2015. Built to our exacting specifications - with the help of one of Europe's most experienced luxury ship builders - no expense was spared to ensure you travel in complete comfort. Sustainably sourced tropical hardwoods, highly polished brass and wrought iron fittings add to the elegant décor. And we've made sure our ship features everything you'd expect in a boutique hotel - plus a few extras. Now operated by Starling Fleet, a member of the long-established River Advice alliance, one of the leading companies operating on all European rivers for both the UK and international markets, this much-loved ship is a stalwart of our fleet. The cabins are very tastefully appointed, featuring a wealth of mahogany, leather, marble and Italian soft furnishings, which blend together to create an ambience of true quality and elegance. In keeping with this theme, spacious marble bathrooms have a washbasin with plenty of space for cosmetics and the provided bathrobes and slippers, a WC and a glazed shower with fittings by ‘Grohe’.

Entertainment

The Sun Deck is the hub for entertainment onboard. The forward viewing area is perfect for watching the historic riverside villages, steep vine-clad valley sides and other scenic wonders glide serenely by. It’s well equipped with plenty of comfortable outdoor chairs and sun-loungers, deck games including shuffleboard and giant chess, a small splash pool where you can cool off, and a full bar service.

Gratuities

Tips are not charged at a set percentage and are not included in the holiday cost, as we understand that giving a gratuity should be entirely at your discretion. As a guideline we would recommend giving €8-12 per person per day should you feel that is appropriate. Usually, an envelope is left in your cabin on the final evening, for you to drop off at reception, if you choose to, the following morning. The tips are divided equally between the crew. Should you also wish to give a gratuity directly to your Riviera Travel Cruise Director and Concierge, this is also at your discretion.
