Riviera Rose is an 80-metre ship built in 2025 for Portugal's Douro, carrying 116 guests in 58 cabins with a crew of 38. Riviera describes her as a boutique hotel spread over four decks, with cabins on three of them, rain showers in every bathroom, a sun deck and a second, smaller dining room, the Rio restaurant, with an outdoor option. Because the Douro has very low bridges, her main restaurant is designed to fold down so the ship can pass beneath them, which limits meal service at those times. She sails Highlights of the Douro Valley & Salamanca cruises.
