Continue below to learn about the dining options available onboard Crystal's river ships:
Bistro
Enjoy fresh fruit, light snacks, delightful pastries and made-to-order eggs at this Vienna-style coffee bar and café. In the afternoon you'll find a fine selection of charcuterie and international cheeses. Lastly, at supper time, Bistro transforms into a tapas-style restaurant where you can share your grand adventures around small plates. Of course, since this is a coffee bar, you're also invited to enjoy cappuccinos, espressos, specialty teas, ice cream and more throughout the day.
Waterside Restaurant
The Waterside Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner set to a backdrop of some of the world's most beautiful scenery. Breakfast might include made-to-order waffles, pancakes and omelets, while lunch could offer carved meats, fresh seafood, made-to-order pastas and salads—plus various side dishes and decadent desserts. During dinner, guests should expect nothing but the best from Crystal's Michelin-inspired tasting menu or regionally-inspired classic menu.
Blue Bar and Grill
This casual lunch venue features all your traditional favorites, like burgers, wraps, salads and soups, along with regional options like flatbread pizza or a classic Reuben. Located indoors, this venue is perfect for whenever the weather isn't.
The Vintage Room
Explore Crystal's impressive onboard wine collection in The Vintage Room, which invites guests to participate in a variety of wine-themed meals and tastings. Note: Reservations are required and can be made through Crystal's Priority Check-in and Planning Center or onboard at Reception.
Room Service
When the best view is the one from your private balcony, sometimes it makes the most sense to just order in. Thankfully, Crystal River Cruises offers 24-hour in-suite dining from a delightful Room Service menu (plus additional Waterside options during the restaurant's regular dining times).
The Pantry
Because cravings can pop up at any time, Crystal's river ships feature the 24-hour Pantry. This self-service venue offers pastries, wines, specialty coffees and teas.
Vista Deck Bar
Enjoy a fine wine, cold beer or crafty cocktail outdoors in this "pop-up" bar on the top deck. Surrounding lounge chairs make this the perfect spot to stargaze or enjoy live sports and movies on the outdoor TV.
