Each cruise is hosted aboard a luxurious, state-of-the-art ship designed with guest comfort in mind. The fleet features elegant and spacious cabins—many with floor-to-ceiling windows or balconies—stylish lounges, panoramic restaurants, and attentive service that ensures every guest feels truly looked after.

What sets Riviera Travel apart is their dedication to enriching travel. All cruises include expertly guided excursions that bring destinations to life through fascinating history, art, and culture.

Riviera Travel also offers flexibility and transparency. With no hidden charges! The company is proud of its fair and value for money pricing policy, which ensures that early bookers get the best prices and that solo travellers can often enjoy cabins without paying high single supplements—a rare find in the cruise industry.

In addition to river cruising, Riviera’s commitment to customer satisfaction is reflected in their consistently high ratings and numerous awards. Their river cruises are ideal for mature, curious travellers who appreciate comfort, culture, and a touch of luxury—without the inflated prices often associated with high-end cruising.

From the moment you book to the final farewell, Riviera Travel’s dedicated team ensures a seamless and memorable experience. Whether it’s your customers first time on a river cruise or they’re a seasoned traveller seeking new horizons, Riviera Travel offers an inspiring and enriching way to see Europe—one river at a time.
