Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

This week, I'm pleased to present the following offers from Riviera Travel. The company has more than 40 years of experience in the travel business and operates 13 upscale ships on Europe's historic rivers. Guests enjoy spacious accommodations and personalized service.

Save up to 72% on river cruises departing in 2025 or 2026. Book by July 18.

Get up to $1,500 per couple in travel credit on 2026 sailings. Travel credit can be used for airfare, transfers or pre- and post-cruise hotel stays and is combinable with discounted cruise rates. Book by July 31.

Single supplement is waived on many departures that are dedicated entirely to solo travelers.

The upfront price of a Riviera cruise includes all onboard meals along with house wine and draft beer at lunch and dinner and unlimited house wine, draft beer and house spirits at the bar from 6 p.m. to midnight (10 a.m. to midnight on 2026 sailings).

Most ships have a pool, fitness room, sauna, steam room, salon, library and complimentary Wi-Fi. Guided shore excursions are included, and vessels also carry complimentary bicycles that passengers can use ashore to explore independently.

Over the next two years, Riviera will operate a number of new themed trips that focus on topics such as art, history, music, nature and gastronomy. The company also created several Grand Tours that combine a seven-night river cruise with a seven-night land package featuring carefully curated hotels and guided sightseeing.

In addition, two new ships were introduced this year -- the 178-passenger Riviera Radiance sails Danube River itineraries and the 114-passenger Riviera Rose cruises the Douro River. In 2026, the new 178-passenger Riviera Resplendence will offer Rhine River sailings.

For example, Avalon Waterways has itineraries of five or six days on the Danube and Rhine, and CroisiEurope also has a variety of options starting at just four days. American Cruise Lines offers Columbia River cruises that are less than a week long.
