About Riviera Travel
Riviera Travel is a British river cruise operator with an excellent reputation for value. Fares include flights or Eurostar, transfers, excursions in every port, drinks with dinner and tips — so the price you see is very close to the price you pay.
The fleet sails the Rhine, Danube, Douro, Seine, Rhône and Moselle, plus the Nile and Mekong further afield, with ships carrying around 130 to 170 guests. Cabins on the upper decks have French balconies, guides are British-led, and the tour manager system means someone is looking after your group from the airport onwards. Christmas market cruises in late November and December are a particular strength.

Fares are built door to door from UK airports or by Eurostar.
Excursions in every port
A guided tour each day, included, with British tour managers on board.
Christmas markets
Short Rhine and Danube sailings docking in the centre of each market town.
Strong value
Drinks with dinner, tips and excursions bundled into the headline price.
