Riviera Travel Opens 2028 River Cruise Bookings
The Radiance-class Riviera Rhapsody will carry one hundred seventy-eight passengers in eighty-nine cabins across four decks, with a crew of forty-four.
Riviera Travel River Cruises has opened bookings for 2028 departures across nine European and Asian waterways, with four itineraries featuring a new private-event program priced from $2,649 per person. The schedule also includes the April 2028 debut of Riviera Rhapsody on the Dutch Waterways and Rhine River.
The four itineraries, which Riviera identifies as best sellers, will include private venue access, receptions and concerts. The company has grouped those additions under “The Riviera Moment” collection.
Sales cover sailings on the Danube, Douro, Rhine, Moselle, Main, Rhône, Seine, Dutch and Mekong waterways. Riviera Rhapsody will carry 178 passengers in 89 cabins across four decks, with a crew of 44. The Radiance-class vessel is listed at 135 meters long and 12 meters wide.
“These events open doors to remarkable venues and experiences reserved solely for our guests, creating memories that will stay with them long after they return home,” said Stuart Milan, president of North America for Riviera Travel River Cruises.
