Riviera

We are Riviera, the well-travelled collective – untied by chronic curiosity and incurable wanderlust. We’re also the UK’s leading river cruise and curated tours company. And, this year, we’re celebrating 40 years of travel.   

We want to see more of the world, and we know it’s mutual – because we travel well… on luxurious river cruises, breathtaking Mediterranean yacht cruises and tour some of the most beautiful destinations, both in Europe and worldwide.

We also have an exciting collection of solo holidays for those who want to travel alone without being lonely and a Walk and Discover range that allows our guests to incorporate a little more activity into their holiday. To us, every cruise and every tour is a chance to share our favourite places with our favourite people (it’s a growing list), treading lightly and taking nothing for granted. Exploring, not exploiting. The perfect cure for itchy feet.   

The way we see it, we’re in the business of happiness. We make sure every detail of every holiday is meticulously planned with your customers in mind – from the itinerary and hotels to transport – by a team of travel specialists as passionate about your customers holiday as you are.

Our knowledgeable tour guides don’t just show your customers the destination, they’ll make sure they feel it’s heartbeat – exploring the places known to everyone and those known only to the locals. And our Tour Managers and Cruise Directors will be there, every step of the way.    

We mean it when we say we travel well, but don’t take our word for it. Thanks to our commitment to quality, thoughtfulness and amazing value, our tours and cruises win awards. We’re proud to hold two Which? Recommended Provider awards: Cultural Tours Provider and Best Value River Cruise Provider. In fact, we’re the only major tour operator who has received the Which? Recommended Provider accreditation for 12 consecutive years. And our guests agree: 97% of them say they would book again, as identified by independent reviewer, Feefo.
