Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – (July 7, 2025) – Riviera Travel, the leader in ultra-premium river cruise, ocean yachts, and land global travel for more than 40 years, today announced the launch of Riviera Explorer, a new digital learning platform designed to support travel advisors in selling Riviera’s European river cruises. Riviera Explorer offers a flexible, engaging and time conscious training experience to help travel advisors grow their knowledge and confidence in selling Riviera’s award-winning river cruises.

 

“Travel advisors play such a pivotal role in our industry, and we are committed to providing them with the tools they need to grow and enhance their business,” said Stuart Milan, president of North America for Riviera Travel. “Riviera Explorer is an accessible, efficient, and impactful platform designed to enhance advisors’ knowledge and sales skills. Our goal is to empower as many travel advisors as possible to confidently sell the Riviera product.”

 

The training hub currently features six modules, including an overview of Europe’s major rivers designed to help advisors match clients with the right itinerary as well as in-depth lessons on Riviera’s fleet, solo travel options, group offerings, grand tours, and the brand’s hotel, flight, and transport capabilities. Each category begins with a video module, followed by key highlights, quick facts, and a series of quizzes to reinforce learning.

 

Riviera Explorer includes three levels, Freshman, Senior, and Graduate. As travel advisors move through the modules, they level up their knowledge and skills and upon completing the full program, they’ll earn the title of Riviera Graduate along with a certificate of achievement. Travel advisors can become a Riviera Graduate in just four to five hours. Riviera Explorer was designed to be approachable and flexible, allowing travel advisors to complete the program in a single day or at their own pace over time.

 

The digital learning platform includes agent resources with everything travel advisors need to help sell, promote and understand Riviera Travel. These assets include brochures, window posters, social media post templates, training videos and more.

 

To celebrate the launch of Riviera Explorer, Riviera Travel is offering 20 FAM trip spots to advisors who complete every module by September 30, 2025. Those who qualify will be automatically entered to win a spot on one of two European river cruise FAM trips in 2026, with 10 advisors on each sailing.
