Based in the United Kingdom, Riviera Travel has been in business for 33 years, operating tours to over 46 different countries. While it has been offering river cruises for over 10 years, it began its marketing efforts—as Riviera River Cruises—in the U.S. for the first time in April 2017. Of central importance to Riviera River Cruises are its relationships with travel agents and its guests. In an effort to build relationships with travel agents in the U.S., Riviera River Cruises has launched a dedicated travel agent portal (RivieraRiverCruises.com/agency), a Riviera River Cruises Travel Agent Academy course (TravelAgentAcademy.com), and a lifetime commission policy.

As an example of the solid relationships it has built with its guests, Reevoo, an independent and unbiased provider of verified and uncensored customer ratings in the U.K., found that 97 percent of Riviera River Cruises clients would travel with the cruise line again—that’s 97 percent of 40,000 guests who traveled on its river cruises last year alone! With that kind of return rate, you can feel confident when you recommend one of these river cruise products to your clients.

Transparent pricing is among Riviera River Cruises’ core values. Pricing includes expert-led excursions, luxury accommodations, and outstanding fine dining at a fair price with no hidden costs, surcharges or options.

Another Riviera River Cruises core value is crafting the best tours possible. To that end, its dedicated team goes to great lengths to include all the must-see sights and experiences available at each port—while balancing the tours with free time and providing the guidance guests need to explore on their own.

Riviera River Cruises sails on all the major rivers: the Danube, Douro, Dutch waterways, Main, Moselle, Rhine, Rhône and Saône. It has 11 itineraries on 11 ships with over 250 departures annually.

Its ships are built by three of the most prestigious shipbuilders in Europe: Scylla AG, Veka Group, and DouroAzul. Each Riviera River Cruises ship is a floating five-star boutique hotel with exceptional river views and luxuriously appointed cabins and suites.

The company doubled its fleet in 2017. Of its 11-ship fleet, six are new vessels launching in 2017/2018. Four of these ships, built by Scylla AG—the MS Thomas Hardy, MS Emily Brontë, MS Oscar Wilde and MS Robert Burns—are all-suite vessels.
