"StarRiverCruise" is a global river cruise brand owned by the Chinese people.It is committed to providing consumers in China and around the world with more exquisite cruise services, and building a professional five-star service system that establishes China’s own river cruise standards.

After the launching ceremony, guests aboard the StarRiverCruise experienced the thoughtful and attentive service provided by our overseas team for Chinese travelers.While Chinese chefs prepared delicious dishes tailored to Chinese tastes, local chefs also offered special national cuisines from regions along the route to satisfy visitors’ desire for new flavors.
Fine wines paired with meals on board were all sourced from the most renowned wine regions in Europe.The cruise also provided free fitness facilities and free Wi-Fi—a must for Chinese outbound tourists. This was the first river cruise in Eastern Europe to offer free Wi-Fi, for which communication resources across multiple countries were coordinated.
Floating gently down the Danube, you are greeted by magnificent European churches, timeless classical architecture, stylish art centers, and the vibrant glow of Europe’s great cities.
By day, the cruise docks at the ports of riverside cities and towns. Passengers may disembark and explore to their hearts’ content: spending a full day among the relics of ancient Roman culture, savoring rich European charm, or simply lingering in a town square — sipping coffee, relaxing, and feeding the pigeons.
In the evening, you return to the cruise ship to enjoy local specialties. Afterwards, you can lie on the deck and gaze up at the vast, starry sky. As you sleep peacefully overnight, the ship glides smoothly along the river.
Waking to the soft light of the morning sun, you continue to admire the breathtaking scenery along the valley, leaving your footprints in the next charming city or town along the way.
