River Countess

On each Grand River Cruise ship, you’ll find beauty and comfort at every turn. Upon arrival, you’ll enter an impressive two-story lobby, just steps from the charming and spacious Europa Lounge. Travel from one exciting destination to the next in the comfort of exquisitely upholstered chairs and sofas, while you enjoy expansive views of the ever-changing scenery. Join friends in the Lounge for a cocktail from our full-service bar, dance the night away or enjoy our nightly entertainment.

The breathtaking Panorama Restaurant, lined with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, offers elegant dining during a single luxurious seating. For a more intimate setting, the cozy Club Lounge provides soft chairs, sofas and game tables.

The Patio Lounge offers a more casual area with rattan chairs and tables. Early morning coffee is served here. The Sky Lounge, on the top deck, offers a pleasant glass-sheltered area with tables and comfortable chairs.

On the Sun Deck, you can view the passing scenery regardless of the weather. With plenty of deck chairs and umbrellas, it’s a great place to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing.

Spectacular Lobby
You are welcomed aboard through a spectacular two-story lobby, unlike any you’ll find on other river cruise ships. The décor sets the tone of casual elegance onboard. Hardwood floors lead from the elegant lobby to the Europa (Main) Lounge. The friendly and attentive staff at the reception desk is always ready to provide you with helpful information.

Single-Seating Restaurant
The beautiful Panorama restaurant, lined with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, offers elegant dining in one luxurious, open seating. You can change your dining companions each day as you meet new friends, or join the same group time after time.

The atmosphere is one of casual elegance. Your table is set with fine crystal, linen and silver. And with graciousness and flair, a member of our professional European dining staff welcomes you with culinary delights that awaken all your senses.

The unique design of our ship extends the restaurant 20 feet over the stern of the ship, which gives us another 760 square feet of space. Regardless of where you sit, you have the feeling you are floating over the water. You cannot ask for better dining with a view.

Dinner is an elegant affair, with a choice of delicious entrées. Our chefs take fresh ingredients found locally, and create dishes evocative of the countries you’ll be visiting. Our cuisine also accommodates the needs and tastes of American travelers. Enjoy a wine selection more extensive than on most other ships in Europe. And bask in our warm, personal service.

A sumptuous breakfast is usually served between 7am and 9am. Most shore excursions are half-days, so you are back onboard in time for lunch – a bounteous buffet with salads, soups, choice of entrées, and desserts.
