The vessel will debut March 23 on the Rhine River. Riverside Debussy was previously owned by Crystal Cruises and was named MS Debussy. Riverside Luxury Cruises bought Crystal Cruises’ riverboats after the company suspended operations in 2022. (Crystal Cruises has since been reborn.)

"Alle's extensive experience and infectious enthusiasm for travel makes her the perfect godmother for Riverside Debussy," says Jen Halboth, CEO of Riverside Luxury Cruises. "Her mission to empower women to travel and her support of travel advisors is inspiration for the industry, if not for everyone. We cannot wait to for Alle to christen Riverside Debussy and launch Riverside Luxury Cruises' third luxury river ship."
