River Cruise Newsletter Dated
July 9, 2025
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.
Some of our river sailings are
themed cruises, focusing on
culinary traditions, Christmas markets, historical events and more. I've
listed all of the options below -- click the links to see discounts and
deals and search for itineraries.

Food and drink

A few companies offer
shorter river cruises that provide
customers with an opportunity to sample the experience. 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.
