About Riviera Travel

Imagine waking each morning in a beautifully appointed cabin aboard a five-star river ship, with new scenery drifting past your window as you sip your coffee. That’s the promise of Riviera Travel and their European river cruises — a seamless vacation experience packaged so you arrive relaxed, unpacked and ready to explore. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple or in a small group, Riviera Travel offers dedicated solo-traveller departures (with no single supplement on selected sailings) so independent travellers can enjoy the cruise lifestyle without compromise. 

Riviera’s itineraries cover many of Europe’s most iconic rivers: the majestic Danube (linking Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava) and the scenic Rhine (castle-draped valleys, Rhine Gorge and Germany’s wine towns) top the list. They also sail the elegant Seine (with Paris and Normandy), the gastronomic Rhône and the tranquil Moselle and even the sun-soaked Douro in Portugal. 

Riviera has also announced some exciting new collections for 2027 and beyond, featuring more destinations, additional departures, the world’s first solo-exclusive river cruise ship, and Riviera’s first ship to sail beyond Europe on the Mekong.

What’s included on a Riviera cruise? From day one you’ll benefit from full-board dining, expert local guides on shore excursions, a Cruise Director and concierge service on board, drinks packages on many sailings, free Wi-Fi, and luxurious accommodation aboard their modern vessels. Their ships feel like boutique hotels on the water: stylish lounges, sun decks, wellness facilities and cabins that are larger than many expect in river cruising.

Speaking of cabins, Riviera Travel offers standard twin or double cabins, most with French or full balconies, plus upgraded Superior and Deluxe Suites with more space, lounge seating and full-outdoor balconies. The newest ship in their fleet boasts Grand Suites up to 345 square feet and floor-to-ceiling windows with private balcony seating. 

Together these features make Riviera Travel an excellent choice for travelers seeking an all-in-one river cruise holiday — whether you’re venturing alone or alongside someone else — where everything is thoughtfully taken care of and the scenery outside your window does the rest.
