Riviera River Cruises UK (fleet) is set to introduce a new riverboat - Riviera Resplendence, in 2026.
Alongside the launch, the company has announced 5 new themed itineraries and an exclusive departure for solo travelers. Additionally, customers who book any 2026 European river cruise with the company by November 30th can benefit from discounts of up to 50%.
The Riviera Resplendence, a 443-foot (135-meter) ship, will accommodate 178 guests in 89 cabins across 4 decks. Notable features include a split-level bar and restaurant, along with a third dining venue, Mosaic. The ship will also house Riviera’s largest suites to date, ranging from 170 to 345 ft2 (16-32 m2). Guests can enjoy amenities such as a sun deck with a pool, an open-kitchen bistro, a fitness center, and a spa.
In addition, Riviera will launch 2 ships - Riviera Radiance and Riviera Rose - in 2024, which will operate on the Danube and Douro rivers.
By 2026, Riviera will introduce themed itineraries focusing on gardens, cuisine, music, and art, with eight-day cruises available on the Rhine, Danube, Moselle, and Seine rivers. A special itinerary, “Medieval Germany for Solo Travelers,” is also set for August 2026.
Marilyn Conroy, executive vice president sales and marketing in North America for Riviera, said:
"As we launch sales for 2026, we have a lot to offer that’s new, from a spacious ship with a third dining venue to itineraries focused on nature, gardens, gastronomy, music and art, and a cruise through Germany for solo travelers.
"And through November, all 2026 departures are available for half off. If your clients are considering a European river cruise, now is a great time to book."
