Riviera Travel has launched two concurrent spring promotions that offer your clients everything from complimentary cabin upgrades to weekly limited-time offers to explore Europe’s waterways in 2026.

The first promotion offers free deck upgrades through May 30, allowing clients booked in middle-deck standard cabins to enjoy upper-deck accommodations at no additional cost. This applies to select European river cruises departing in July and August 2026. Use promo code Upgrade 26 during the booking process.

Riviera Travel’s Deal of the Week program complements this offer, introducing a rotating series of discounts for specific departures. Each Thursday through May 15, a new limited-time savings opportunity on a selected sailing will be unveiled. These weekly promotions remain available for seven days only, with discounted prices automatically applied to new bookings made during the valid period.

Riviera Travel Sample Itineraries

For travel advisors seeking itineraries to pair with these promotions, Riviera Travel offers several distinctive European river cruise experiences:

The 8-day Blue Danube River Cruise is one of the line’s signature journeys. This itinerary navigates through the heart of Central Europe, featuring Vienna’s architecture, Budapest’s riverfront and the landscapes of the Wachau Valley. Your clients will visit Melk’s baroque abbey and explore charming riverside towns like Durnstein and Bratislava.

For those interested in northern Europe, the 8-day Bruges, Medieval Flanders, Amsterdam & the Dutch Bulbfields River Cruise is a springtime journey that combines Amsterdam’s artistic heritage with Belgium’s preserved medieval towns. Highlights include Keukenhof Gardens during tulip season, Bruges’ picturesque canals, Antwerp’s diamond district and Rubens’ heritage.

Wine enthusiasts may prefer the Douro, Porto and Salamanca River Cruise. This 8-day journey through Portugal’s wine country balances vineyard visits and wine tastings with cultural experiences in Porto’s historic center and Spain’s university city of Salamanca. Guests also visit traditional Portuguese villages and historic Quintas (wine estates) along the Douro Valley.

Riviera Travel’s sophisticated vessels accommodate 120-169 passengers and provide an intimate cruising experience with personalized service.

Of note: Availability for upgraded cabins is capacity-controlled, particularly on popular summer sailings.
