SS Elisabeth deck plans

SS Elisabeth (2017-built as "Crystal Mahler", fka "Riverside Mahler") is one of four ultra-luxury "river yachts" operated until 2022 by Crystal Cruises. Her sisterships are Bach, Debussy, and Ravel, all sharing the same design and built by Lloyd Werft (MV Werften) in Wismar, Germany. Since 2022, Crystal's entire river fleet has been owned by Seaside Hotels and is operated by Seaside's subsidiary and travel brand, Riverside Collection Cruises.

Riverside Mahler/SS Elisabeth's deck plan includes a total of 55 staterooms for 114 passengers (maximum capacity 169), served by 85 crew and staff. The vessel has no medical facilities. She features 4 passenger decks, 4 restaurants, 3 lounges and bars, 1 glass elevator (connecting decks 2-3 only), a self-service passenger laundry, gym and spa facilities, and a glass-domed atrium.

Unlike most riverboats, Mahler features an indoor swimming pool (resistance pool, also known as an "infinity pool"). Other unique amenities include electric bicycles and a tender platform for deploying water toys (craft, jet skis, and kayaks), all offered complimentary to passengers at ports along the itinerary.

Crystal Mahler was an all-inclusive luxury riverboat, with complimentary amenities and services including:

All beverages (including alcohol) - fine wines and champagne, premium spirits, bottled water, specialty coffee, soft drinks, and fresh juices

Complimentary dinners ashore at Michelin-starred or other renowned gourmet restaurants (in ports with overnight stays)

A choice of one of two guided excursions (from the company's Crystal Adventures program) in each port of the itinerary. The Active Exploration Adventures program allows passengers to stay fit while sightseeing ashore.
