Our Rivers
We have cruises along some of the world's most famous rivers including the mighty Danube, the second largest river in Europe, the famous Rhine swathed with medieval towns, castles and vineyards and the picturesque Douro with photogenic valleys and vineyards.

Our Five-Star River Cruise Ships
A river cruise on one of Riviera Travel’s five-star ships is like staying in a floating, luxury boutique hotel. Primarily Swiss-built and operated, they are rated as some of the finest river cruise ships to grace Europe’s waterways. Being smaller than cruise liners, river cruise ships are less crowded, meaning they can feel more intimate and relaxed. Many of Riviera Travel’s river cruise ships hold from approximately 170 to 190 passengers.
