Christmas starts here

A Rhine river cruise to the Christmas markets. Riviera take the strain out of travelling then you step aboard and drop all your cares. The ships are extremely comfortable and the service efficient but not intrusive. The cabins are basically hotel rooms that float! So nice to lie in bed and watch Germany pass by. The food was of a very high standard, well presented and the accompanying wines and drinks were fantastic.Riviera can always be trusted to organise excursions well and their tour managers are always prepared to go that extra mile to ensure your trip is perfect! Give them a try.

Absolutely brilliant, beautiful ship and excellent staff.

As above: excursions extremely interesting, with extremely knowledgeable guides,who made the history of their country come alive. Food consistently excellent and housekeeping staff always smiling and polite. When things didn't go to plan there was always an alternative which was well thought out and put into action.

I'm partly disabled, but the crew was fantastic, and had help where I needed it, instantly. This was my third time with Rivera Travel and I've loved everyone, looking forward to next year's cruise with Rivera Travel on the Rhine to Switzerland. You just unpack your case the once, and your clothes and bedroom go with you to see many different places, it's lovely waking up to a new view from your room. so relaxing. The ship was lovely a clean, and the food was to die for, no disappointment at all. By the second day, the crew could remember your name, even what drinks you liked to drink, nothing was too much bother. Lovely friendly atmosphere, I'm so pleased I chose to travel with Rivera Travel, looking forward to next year. See you soon, Margaret

A fantastic cruise, great crew, wonderful inclusive shore trips. The only problem was a school minibus to take 14 of us from Lisbon airport to Porto, there was not enough space for the luggage, so we ended up with 8 cases in the aisle between the seats. Once we got to the vessel the welcome made up for the journey.
