You can make a booking on our website – simply select the tour you wish to book and click 'Book Now'. On some holidays we need to request flight seats – these are also bookable on-line but we will not take any payment from your card or confirm your booking until we have secured your flights. We will send you confirmation once this has been done. Alternatively, simply telephone our Reservations Team on 01283 742 317 - View our opening hours.
We are fully bonded with the CAA and ABTA so you can rest assured that your money is safe in any eventuality.
All the flights and flight-inclusive holidays on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate. Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is listed on it. Please see our booking conditions for further information or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate
Our fully comprehensive itineraries include all of the ‘must see’ sights and experiences your selected destination offers. Many operators sell these as ‘options’ – but on a Riviera holiday you will miss nothing of importance. We do not sell you lots of additional excursions that just add to your overall costs. For specific details of what is included, please see the relevant tour page.
To qualify you must raise your concerns with the Riviera Travel tour manager or cruise director and state your intention to take advantage of this guarantee within the first 24 hours of your holiday, and they will endeavour to resolve any issues. If by the end of Day Two a solution cannot be reached, Riviera Travel will arrange and cover the cost for you to return to the starting point of your holiday arrangements with us from the next available location. We will also refund the total cost of your Riviera Travel holiday, although no refunds will be made for any additional costs incurred such as overnight hotels, airport travel, insurance etc.
The guarantee does not affect standard booking conditions or pre-departure cancellation policy and is superseded by our European River Cruise Assurance where relevant. Valid on holidays of 8 days or more. Further terms and conditions may apply.
