Riviera Travel River Cruise Dining
Five-star dining is of the upmost importance to Riviera River Cruises, who are passionate about creating a menu all cruisers will adore. Start with either freshly baked pastries and Early Riser Tea on the Sun Deck, a wonderful full buffet in the dining room, or even a private continental breakfast in your cabin. If you didn't join the morning buffet, there is another buffet with a wonderful selection of dishes at lunch.
Waiting for you in the evening is a four-course dinner consisting of an entree, soup, main course and dessert. Grab a seat in the comfortable, well-appointed dining room of your ship, as you feast on a menu of international classics and new local delights. Don't miss out on the two extra special dinners flanking the start and end of your cruise: the Welcome Dinner and Gala Dinner respectively.
With all your meals, there's a great selection of wines available, from classic to local, that have been carefully selected for quality and exclusivity. In addition, all ships apart from the Swiss Ruby and Douro Spirit have the rear bar transform in the evenings to the Chef's Restaurant, giving an intimate area for guests to dine with panoramic windows providing an unhindered view.
Riviera Travel River Cruise Entertainment
Riviera Travel ensures that even in moments of downtime, there is a lot to see and do. As well as simply sitting back and sightseeing as the river passes by, guests can revitalise and recharge by making the most of the onboard spa, splash pool, sauna, and steam room. Whether you've had a long day, or are simply in need of some pampering, there are some superb treatments to choose from in the spa, while an hour or so spent in the warm pool on the sundeck can prove immensely beneficial. If you don't fancy getting in the water, there are also comfortable sun loungers on deck where you can rest and unwind under the rays, or get lost in your favourite book.
Guests who are seeking something a little more interactive will not be disappointed. As well as books, the onboard library has a collection of board games, and you'll also find a golf putting green and giant chess set on the sundeck! e. If you do want to focus on staying active, be sure to visit the onboard gym. With a good choice of equipment, it's possible to keep an eye on your health and fitness during your Riviera Travel holiday.
When it comes to evenings aboard there's a fantastic range of restaurants, bars, and lounges, so what better way to end the day than with a glass of wine, discussing your adventures with loved ones and new found friends? With broad drinks menus, delicious canapés, and regular live music, let the evening take over in this relaxed and friendly environment.
The main hub of entertainment on any ship is the lounge, where you can enjoy your drink to the gentle soundtrack of a live musician. Here you can also watch a presentation by the tour manager to prepare you for the forthcoming destinations or go head to head in a quiz against other guests.
Riviera Travel River Cruise Destinations
With countless destinations to choose from, there is a river perfect for everyone. Whatever you have on your bucket list, tick off multiple must-see destinations across Europe and around the world, and enjoy handcrafted programmes of excursions that will ensure the holiday of a lifetime.
Riviera River Cruises cruise the Rhine, Douro, Moselle, Seine, Main, Danube, Rhone and Volga with handpicked excursions that represent the heart of their history.
For the traveller in search of romantic castles and stunningly-preserved medieval architecture, the river Rhine offers a journey back in time like no other. From vineyard visits to walking tours, there are no shortage of excursions that will leave you speechless and eager to return to the river Douro. Fortunately, for those who simply cannot choose just one waterway to explore, many itineraries combine multiple rivers to ensure passengers make the most of their river cruise.
Meanwhile, worldwide itineraries offer some of the most immersive experiences you can find in river cruising across Cambodia, China, Egypt, India and Vietnam. The Mekong river journey in particular is a spectacular insight into life on floating villages, in fast-paced cities and throughout ancient temples once watched over by powerful rulers.
