About
Riviera Travel
European river travel with a strong solo programme
Riviera Travel operates a fleet of contemporary European river ships carrying roughly 160 to 180 guests, with smaller vessels on routes such as the Douro. Fares for current European river cruises include full-board dining, a programme of guided visits and the Superior Drinks package. Its clearest specialism is solo travel, with a substantial calendar of solo-only departures and no single supplement across cabin grades on those designated sailings. The overall style is comfortable and sociable rather than highly formal or design-led.

the experience
Solo travel is built into the programme
Days alternate scenic sailing with guided walks and visits, with Riviera tour managers accompanying the shore programme. Panoramic lounges, sun decks and open seating establish an easy social rhythm on board, while meals favour familiar European cooking with regional references. Ships differ in layout and ownership, so cabins and facilities should be checked individually. The solo-only programme is more substantial than a handful of reduced supplements: selected departures are reserved entirely for independent travellers, with no single supplement across cabin grades.
THE Destinations
Europe’s major rivers, explored at an easy pace
Riviera’s network is concentrated in Europe, covering the Danube and Rhine systems, the Seine and Rhône in France, Portugal’s Douro and the waterways of the Netherlands and Belgium. Itineraries pair well-known cities such as Vienna, Budapest, Amsterdam and Porto with smaller riverside towns, vineyard landscapes and guided cultural visits. The focus is on coherent regional journeys rather than an extensive global river portfolio, and the ships are selected or designed for the dimensions and character of each waterway.
