Well, you can’t beat a river cruise, and more importantly, you just cannot beat a Riviera river cruise.
The reason I know is that I am a travel consultant and can see for myself which cruise line is the most popular at any given time!
At the moment Riviera is leading the race and it’s not hard to see why.
Published in June 2013, the most notable Which? Magazine voted Riviera Travel one of the UK’s finest Holiday Companies and awarded them their coveted
‘Recommended Provider’ status. Late last year, they improved their ranking in the ‘Guardian and Observer’ Travel Awards, achieving second place in the ‘Best
Large Tour Operator’ category and in the prestigious ‘Telegraph Travel Awards’ were voted their second ‘Favourite Escorted Tour Operator’ and second
‘Favourite River Cruise Operator’ – wow, like I said, takes some beating!
