Riviera River Cruises will launch a new ship in 2026, the Riviera Resplendence.
The cruise line also revealed five new themed itineraries, as well as a new departure exclusively for solo travelers.
Travelers who book any 2026 European river cruise with Riviera River Cruises between now and November 30 can also receive up to 50 percent off.
The new, 443-foot-long Riviera Resplendence will be able to accommodate up to 178 passengers in 89 cabins spread across four decks. The ship will have a new split-level bar and restaurant, as well as a third restaurant called Mosaic. Riviera Resplendence will also feature the cruise line’s largest suites yet, measuring between 172 and 344 square feet.
Other amenities include a sun deck with pool, a bistro with an open kitchen, a fitness center and a spa and wellness area.
Next year, the line is also debuting two new ships, Riviera Radiance and Riviera Rose, which will sail the Danube and Douro rivers in Europe.
In 2026, the line will debut new themed itineraries throughout Europe focusing on gardens, food and drink, music and art. The special 8-day sailings will be offered on the Rhine, Danube, Moselle and Seine rivers.
Solo travelers can also take advantage of a new itinerary, “Medieval Germany for Solo Travelers,” departing in August 2026.
“As we launch sales for 2026, we have a lot to offer that’s new, from a spacious ship with a third dining venue to itineraries focused on nature, gardens, gastronomy, music and art, and a cruise through Germany for solo travelers,” says Marilyn Conroy, executive vice president sales and marketing in North America for Riviera River Cruises. “And through November, all 2026 departures are available for half off. If your clients are considering a European river cruise, now is a great time to book.”
