Advisors, This Wave Season Is For You: Riviera Travel Unveils Its Biggest Booking Bonuses Yet

From double-entry prize incentives to half-off departures, airfare credits, and complimentary hotel stays, Riviera’s new wave season lineup empowers advisors to earn more, book more, and deliver unmatched value to their clients.

 

Riviera Travel is kicking off wave season with one of its most robust collections of limited-time promotions and advisor incentives to date—designed to meet the growing demand for meaningful, experience-driven river cruising across Europe. With travelers increasingly prioritizing comfort, value, and immersive cultural exploration, this year’s wave season offerings deliver exceptional opportunities for guests to save, upgrade, and enjoy even more conveniences as they plan their 2026 and 2027 journeys.

 

Whether it’s couples marking a milestone, solo adventurers seeking a supportive and social environment, or multigenerational groups looking to create lasting memories, Riviera Travel continues to make river cruising more accessible while maintaining its signature blend of quality, comfort, and guided enrichment.

 

From December 5 through January 31, 2026, travelers can take advantage of a range of standout perks, including:

• Up to 50% off per person on all 2026 and 2027 departures — one of Riviera’s strongest seasonal offers
• $500 airfare credit per person on 2026 sailings, making long-haul European travel even more accessible
• Complimentary one-night pre- or post-cruise hotel stays on 2026 departures, allowing guests to settle in or extend their journey with ease
• Half-price deposits on 2026 departures, helping travelers secure their preferred sailing and stateroom with greater flexibility

 

Alongside these traveler-facing offers, Riviera Travel is also placing a major spotlight on advisor appreciation and engagement. Wave season marks one of the most rewarding times of the year for advisors, and Riviera is elevating that experience with a high-value incentive program.

 

From December 5 through February 27, 2026, travel advisors can earn:

• One entry for every new paid deposit on any 2026 or 2027 Riviera river cruise
• Double entries for Riviera Explorer graduates
• Unlimited opportunities to enter, with every booking increasing their chances

 

Weekly prize draws will feature a curated selection of luxury goods valued at up to $1,200 each. All entries also roll into the Grand Prize draw, where one advisor will win an 8-day French-balcony river cruise for two aboard Riviera Resplendence, the line’s newest ship debuting on Europe’s rivers. The grand prize also includes up to $3,000 in complimentary airfare credit, making the experience nearly all-inclusive. (Winners are responsible for taxes; prizes are non-transferable.) The Grand Prize winner will be announced on March 7, 2026.

 

Riviera Travel remains committed to delivering enriching, inclusive, and comfortable cruising experiences—marked by spacious ships, thoughtfully crafted itineraries, guided excursions, and an emphasis on exceptional service.
