Riviera Travel is a UK cruise operator offering all-inclusive European river cruises and small-ship yacht sailings, combining guided excursions, boutique vessels, and a relaxed onboard experience that makes it especially popular with British travellers.

 

Riviera Travel river cruises sail along iconic waterways such as the Rhine, Danube, Douro, and Rhône, while their yacht cruises explore stunning coastal regions like Croatia, giving guests the chance to discover smaller ports and hidden gems that larger ships simply can’t reach.

​

The river cruise fleet includes ships such as the MS Jane Austen and MS Geoffrey Chaucer, each carrying around 150 guests and offering a quieter, more intimate alternative to ocean cruising, while their Croatian yacht cruises provide an even smaller-scale experience with a strong focus on scenic sailing, swim stops, and picturesque coastal towns. Cabins across both styles are comfortable and well-designed, and public spaces are created to maximise the views, whether you’re gliding through the Rhine Gorge or sailing along the Adriatic coastline.

​

For UK cruisers, Riviera Travel stands out for its value, with cruises typically including return travel from the UK, full board dining, selected drinks with dinner, and a programme of expert-led excursions, helping remove the need for costly add-ons and making the experience feel straightforward and stress-free. The onboard atmosphere is relaxed and low-key across both river ships and yachts, focusing on the destinations rather than large-scale entertainment, which is ideal for travellers looking for a more cultural and immersive cruise.

​

From our own experience as Tom & Dom Travel, having sailed on both a Riviera river cruise and a Croatian yacht cruise, this style of travel offers a well-balanced mix of comfort, convenience, and destination-focused exploration, making Riviera Travel a strong option for anyone considering a Riviera Travel cruise from the UK.
