Riviera Travel Luxury Cruises

Riviera Travel River Cruises offer 23 carefully crafted itineraries along the Dutch waterways, Rhine, Moselle, Main, Danube, Douro, Seine and the Rhône. Expect only the best from the 5-star fleet of boutique hotel style ships with spacious cabins and state-of-the art facilities. All of Riviera Travel river cruises are hosted by their ever-popular Cruise Directors and concierge’s, many of whom have been with Riviera Travel for more than a decade, some even two.

Riviera Travel constantly evolves their river cruises, adding so many subtle touches. For example, 84% of cabins boast French balconies affording superb views; they offer breakfast in your cabin; tea and coffee making facilities and onboard classical concerts in Vienna, highlighting the city’s musical heritage. Riviera Travel’s award-winning cruises provide more than a holiday – taking you to the most exciting destinations where you uncover insights into the lives, histories and cultures of the people who call them home.

The service onboard your Riviera Travel cruise ship will be intuitive, unobtrusive, efficient and friendly. Their typical ratio of just four guests per crewmember means you can be sure of first-class service at every moment. It gives the crew more time to take care of all the little details - leaving you free to relax and enjoy every minute of your river holiday. It creates that “small ship” feeling that Riviera Travel clients love and come back to time and again. It means you can enjoy more space and a less crowded feel than on other similar ships. Whether you're a foodie - or just love food - dining in Riviera’s onboard restaurants will seem like such a treat, with regional and international specialities served up every night.
