Riviera Travel has introduced Riviera Explorer, a digital learning platform created specifically for travel advisors selling the company’s European river cruises. The system offers a structured yet flexible approach to product education, allowing you to develop your expertise at your own pace while accessing key sales tools and resources.
“Travel advisors play such a pivotal role in our industry, and we are committed to providing them with the tools they need to grow and enhance their business,” said Stuart Milan, president of North America for Riviera Travel, in a press statement. “Riviera Explorer is an accessible, efficient, and impactful platform designed to enhance advisors’ knowledge and sales skills. Our goal is to empower as many travel advisors as possible to confidently sell the Riviera product.”
Riviera by the Modules
The platform features six distinct learning modules, covering the major European rivers, the Riviera’s fleet specifications, solo travel offerings, group booking procedures, extended grand tour options and the company’s hotel, flight and transport capabilities. Each section begins with video content followed by essential information and interactive quizzes.
Riviera Explorer organizes learning into three progressive levels—Freshman, Senior and Graduate—with advisors advancing through increasingly detailed content. Upon completing all modules, participants earn Graduate status and receive a certificate confirming their specialized knowledge of Riviera products. The full program requires approximately four to five hours to complete and can be tackled in a single session or spread across multiple days according to an advisor’s schedule.
Beyond the educational components, the platform features a comprehensive resource center that includes digital brochures, window displays, customizable social media content and training videos, which advisors can utilize in their marketing efforts.
Of note: Riviera Travel is offering a special promotion tied to platform completion. Advisors who complete all modules by Sept. 30, 2025, will be entered into a drawing for one of 20 positions on upcoming European river cruise familiarization trips scheduled for 2026. Winners will be distributed across two separate sailings, with 10 advisors participating in each journey.
The company plans to regularly update Riviera Explorer with seasonal promotions, new itineraries and product developments to ensure advisors maintain current knowledge of all offerings.
