Riviera Travel offers award-winning river cruises, escorted tours, and solo holidays across Europe and worldwide, providing unforgettable experiences with exceptional service.
A Christmas cruise or festive holiday is a great way to celebrate the winter season. Let the smell of sweet gingerbread fill your nostrils in Budapest, along the Danube, before sailing off to explore the sights of Vienna. Or perhaps you'll enjoy a yuletide greeting into Germany while gliding down the Rhine, taking in the fresh frosty air and listening to tour guides tell the legend of the Lorelei – a maiden said to induce sailors in with her alluring melodies.
Our 2027 tours are now on sale, covering Europe and destinations worldwide, with more choice than ever across itineraries, dates and regional airports. From epic Grand Tours to holidays designed exclusively for solo travellers, every journey is expertly crafted for the incurably curious.
