As well, Riviera extended an additional $500 per cabin discount for new bookings made this month, offering a total savings of up to $3,000 per cabin. The line is also offering North American travel advisors a $100 gift card per cabin booked.

No direct sales

'We’re excited to welcome Bhavna and Boyana to our team and look forward to them establishing relationships with travel advisors across the continent,' said Marilyn Conroy, EVP sales and marketing North America. She added that Riviera doesn't sell directly.

The North American reservations line is open from 9 a.m. Eastern/6 a.m. Pacific to 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific. Consumers who contact the company directly are referred to book via their travel advisor or, if they don’t have one, the booking will be turned over to an advisor near them with whom Riviera has a relationship.

Riviera offers 20 itineraries on 10 rivers and waterways, including exclusive departures for solo travelers with no single supplement and holiday season cruises. The fleet numbers 12 vessels.
