Flexible Booking Policy
We know that in uncertain times, you need to feel confident when making a booking. We want you to be sure that you won’t lose out if your plans need to change, and your money is safe and secure. That’s why we’ve introduced a series of new, enhanced policies to protect you, so you can book with confidence.
Rest assured, when you book your holiday with Riviera Travel, you can do so with complete confidence.
- Flexible booking* - With 2022 holidays on sale earlier than ever, along with flexible booking options, you can plan ahead and book with confidence.
Book a holiday with us by 30 June 2021 and you can enjoy the flexibility to change your booking before travel, with no fees and no questions asked. You can change your booking up to 45 days before departure for 2021 holidays departing after 1 September. New bookings for 2022 can be changed for free up until 30 September 2021.

- Covid-19 Cancellation Protection as standard – if for whatever reason, you’re not able to travel as a consequence of the pandemic, you can transfer your holiday to a later date completely free of charge. Some terms and conditions apply and you can find them here.
FInd out more about what makes Riviera different
- Covid-19 Curtailment Protection as standard – if you have to cut your holiday short as a direct consequence of the pandemic and your insurance provider doesn’t cover you, we’ll automatically compensate you for the proportion of your holiday that you’ve missed out on.
- Best price promise - if the price of your holiday is reduced after you book, we’ll automatically reduce the cost for you too. There’s no benefit for booking late, but by booking early, you can secure your preferred dates and options.

Happy in every sense or your money back – if you’re not happy or comfortable in your new surroundings by Day Two, we’ll bring you home at no extra charge and offer you a full refund.
Don’t forget, you're also always protected by our Happiness Guarantee! All of this comes as standard, but for even more protection, you can take out our new Enhanced Travel Insurance Cover - see further details below.
