Riviera River Cruises Wins 2019 Solo Travel Award

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Riviera River Cruises is proud to announce it has been named a winner of the 2019 Solo Travel Award for River Cruises by the Solo Traveler website. Riviera was recognized for how well it caters to solo travelers, including its European river cruise departures exclusively for solo travelers. On these cruises, guests enjoy Riviera’s five-star ships with spacious cabins and suites, fine culinary experiences and expert-led excursions without paying a single supplement. Riviera shares the award with Vantage Deluxe World Travel.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be recognized for our efforts to make European river cruising easier and more affordable for solo travelers,” said Marilyn Conroy, Riviera River Cruises’ Vice President Sales and Marketing North America. “We began offering our exclusive solo traveler cruises after seeing demand for single-supplement-free cabins and suites. That demand has only continued to increase, so we’ve since introduced additional itineraries and departure dates. The Solo Travel Award validates our work to accommodate this segment of the river cruise market.”

 

Riviera and other Solo Travel Award winners were judged on how well they cater to solo travelers in terms of whether they apply a single supplement and how much is charged; how easy it is for a solo traveler to find, determine the cost of and book a trip that is suitable for them; and whether there are special services for solo travelers before or during trips.

Riviera River Cruises offers 15 itineraries on 10 rivers and waterways. Its fleet of 13 ships is one of the youngest in Europe, with none older than six years. Riviera’s cruises include spacious cabins and suites, fine culinary experiences from sumptuous breakfasts to four-course dinners featuring international classics and regional specialties, and expert-led excursions to classic sights and lesser-known places.

 

Riviera guarantees exceptional value, promising never to add hidden surcharges or fees. Riviera also doesn’t automatically include gratuities or drinks, so the choice is up to guests.
