Life on Board MS Geoffrey Chaucer

Overview

MS Geoffrey Chaucer

MS Geoffrey Chaucer is a Swiss-operated, five-star Riviera Travel river ship, launched in 2019. She is one of the line’s classic vessels, prized less for novelty than for the comfort and quiet elegance that keep guests coming back. Step into her marble lobby, lit by an atrium overhead, and the tone is set: rich hardwoods, polished brass and soft lighting throughout.
With 44 crew looking after just 167 guests across 88 suites, the pace on board stays relaxed and personal. Every suite is generously proportioned by river cruising standards, with hand-crafted hardwoods, calming neutrals and a full-size bed in crisp cotton linen, while suites on the Diamond and Ruby decks open onto French balconies for uninterrupted river views.

  • Occupancy 167
