From now on, Riviera River Cruises wants the pros to do the bookings.
“Riviera River Cruises has always been supportive of the travel agency community and we’re excited to take that support even further in 2020,” said Marilyn Conroy, the company’s executive vice-president of sales and marketing North America. Consumers who contact Riviera directly will be referred to book their river cruise through their own travel advisor.
Riviera has negotiated some of the best airfares available between America and Europe, and advisors will be able to arrange for flights, hotels and a river cruise, and purchase travel insurance, for clients all in the same booking process, she says. “We want Riviera to be the river cruise line advisors think of first.”
Riviera River Cruises is based in Britain and wants to be better known in North America. It offers 15 itineraries on 10 rivers and waterways, including departures for solo travelers with no single supplement. Its fleet of 13 ships is one of the youngest in Europe, with none older than six years.
