2019 Cruise Critic UK Editors’ Picks Awards
Riviera Travel won the 2019 Cruise Critic UK Editors’ Picks Award for Best for Solo Travellers. Cruise Critic is the leading cruise reviews site and here's what they had to say about our Solo Traveller river cruises:
Riviera stands out with the widest choice of sailings and cabins for solo passengers without punishing single supplements. On every cruise, staterooms are set aside for single occupancy at no additional cost, whether passengers are travelling alone or simply want a room to themselves. Riviera is also offering an increasing number of dedicated solo river cruises with no supplements across the entire ship, including suites.
