Riviera Travel Cruises

The dining experience aboard a Riviera Travel river cruise is delightful, and you can expect to enjoy sensational food from around the world throughout your river cruise adventure; each day, you’ll find a variety of hot and cold options for breakfast and lunch, ahead of an exquisite a la carte dinner experience in the evenings. Here, you’ll be met with an incredible menu of regional cuisines and international favourites to indulge in, all carefully created by a talented culinary team using the freshest ingredients available.

So, whether you’re looking for light bites ahead of an indulgent evening meal with a sweet treat to finish, or something hearty in the morning to keep you fueled throughout a day’s adventure ashore, the exceptional cuisine available with Riviera Travel will elevate your river cruise experience.

On a Riviera Travel river cruise, the destinations you visit are the real entertainment, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have anything to occupy your time when the evening rolls around and you’re back onboard.

Alongside a sun-lounger laden Sun Deck, which is perfect for watching the stunning scenery pass by while you’re sailing, and admiring the natural beauty of a sunset as the day comes to a close, you’ll find a comfortable lounge space aboard every Riviera Travel river cruise ship. With stylish seating options, from social sofas to comfortable armchairs, the lounge area on your river cruise ship is the perfect place to enjoy a variety of hot and cold drinks, alcoholic beverages, and breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery from panoramic windows.

While here, you’ll also have the chance to socialise with other river cruisers and enjoy a variety of entertainment options throughout the day and into the evening, with intimate live music performances, expert talks on upcoming destinations, interesting group quizzes, and more on the agenda. Depending on your itinerary, you’ll also be met with culturally immersive experiences here, with local folk dancers, classical quartets, and more to look forward to. With all of this to enhance your experience, it’s safe to say that the entertainment aboard a Riviera Travel river cruise ship won’t disappoint.

While not angled around entertaining families with young children, Riviera Travel does welcome children over the age of 12 on its river cruises; however, there isn’t much in the way of entertainment available for children onboard, and no family-focused attractions or amenities to speak of. So, it’s worth keeping that in mind if you’re looking for a river cruise adventure as a family.

Wherever in the world you want to travel, from France and Central Europe to Africa and Asia, you’ll find an exciting Riviera Travel river cruise itinerary waiting just for you.

With an impressive fleet of five-star river cruise ships, Riviera Travel offers a wonderful selection of unforgettable adventures along the Danube and the Rhine – where you’ll have the chance to explore exciting cities and riverside towns in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, and more – alongside getaways along the Douro in Portugal and several (primarily) French rivers: namely, the Rhône, the Saône River, and the Seine. You’ll also find river cruises along the Moselle available with Riviera Travel, meaning you’ll be able to explore every major European waterway with this remarkable river cruise company.

Venturing further afield, Riviera Travel also offer itineraries along the Nile and the Mekong River; the former flowing through Egypt and Sudan among other northeast African nations, while the latter cuts through parts of Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

Shore Excursions

When it comes to heading ashore during your Riviera Travel river cruise, you can expect an incredible range of interesting and immersive shore excursions waiting – all of which have been carefully chosen to enhance your experience in every destination on your itinerary.

From regional history and local architecture to the arts in all its forms and gastronomic deep dives, the shore excursions available with Riviera Travel focus on everything that makes a culture unique and ensure you’re making the absolute most of your onshore adventures; you’ll find a range of half-day and full-day excursions available on each itinerary, with the chance to discover incredible landmarks and hidden gems alongside authentic cultural experiences that will afford you a deeper insight into the peoples and places you encounter each day.

With options for every activity level, and a variety of interests, everyone will find something they enjoy; Riviera Travel also conduct more ‘themed’ itineraries, which is worth considering if you’re solely interested in one aspect of destination exploration – be that the local histories, regional cuisines, and more.

Wellness

Every one of Riviera Travel’s remarkable river cruise ships offers a unique experience with a different selection of onboard amenities to enjoy; most, though, feature a state-of-the-art fitness centre with modern gym equipment to take advantage of and spa facilities where you can indulge in sumptuous treatments and pampering that will leave you relaxed and refreshed.

Complete with everything you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle while enjoying exciting adventures along one of the world’s major waterways, Riviera Travel ensures everyone will be able to enjoy some form of wellness on their river cruises; though, if you’re looking for something specific, be sure to check the facilities and amenities available on the ship specifically sailing the itinerary you’re interested in.

Recreation

Much like the wellness facilities available on each Riviera Travel river cruise ship, the recreational activities and facilities you’ll come across when enjoying an exciting river cruise with Riviera Travel will vary from ship to ship. On some, you may find a putting green on the Sun Deck, whereas others may feature a splash pool perfect for cooling off. Whichever ship you choose to sail on, though, you’ll find plenty of places to sit and socialise, with comfortable quiet spots perfect for soaking up the sunshine or diving into a good book. So, coupled with all the entertainment options available, you’ll have plenty to look forward to when you’re not exploring ashore.

Gratuities

With Riviera Travel, giving a gratuity is entirely at your discretion; so, while this isn’t included in your base river cruise fare or added on as a percentage at the end of your itinerary, you will find an envelope in your cabin on the final evening of your river cruise. This is where you can give any tips you might wish to leave, with the gratuity given being divided equally among the crew onboard.
