Riviera Travel To Expand Fleet for 2025

Riviera Travel Unveils Spectacular Fleet Expansion for 2025

Meet the Riviera Radiance and Riviera Rose

Riviera Travel, a renowned name in river cruising, is set to make waves in 2025 with the introduction of two magnificent ships to its fleet. The 178-guest Riviera Radiance and the 114-guest Riviera Rose are poised to redefine luxury river cruising, each bringing a unique set of features and experiences for travellers.

Scheduled for launch in March and April, the Riviera Radiance promises to be a standout vessel with three full decks plus a sun deck. Guests can indulge in a culinary journey with three dining venues, including the innovative Mosaic restaurant, serving bite-sized delicacies inspired by the rivers of Europe. The ship’s Grand Suites, the largest ever offered by the operator, boast a separate lounge area and balcony with seating, alongside facilities like a swimming pool, spa, wellness area, and the Riverview Kitchen.

Notably, Riviera Radiance is the first ship from Riviera Travel to qualify for the Gold Standard in the Green Awards program, emphasizing its commitment to safety and environmental performance.

In contrast, Riviera Rose, set to launch shortly after, offers a more intimate experience with just 57 cabins across three decks. With features like French balconies with sliding doors and an indoor seating area, the cabins are designed for comfort and style. The ship will include a restaurant, bar, lounge, fitness room, and a sun deck with a swimming pool.

Phil Hullah, Chief Executive of Riviera Travel, said of this fleet expansion, “The introduction of these beautiful ships marks a key chapter in the Riviera story.” He emphasized the significance of showcasing the Riviera name on the bows of these vessels, especially as the company celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Both the Riviera Radiance and Riviera Rose are poised to offer an exceptional guest experience with new public spaces, dining experiences, and the largest-ever suites on Radiance. The booking for these extraordinary ships opens on February 29, and with the promise of enhanced itineraries, Riviera Travel is gearing up to provide a truly unforgettable cruising experience.
