Holiday Information

  • You can opt out of any of the included excursions if you wish, just let us know so that the tour manager is not waiting for you on that day.

  • Absolutely, if your group loves dining together, Riviera can either pre-book a menu or make the table reservations on your behalf.
    • To do this, we’ll just need to know:
      • Your budget 
      • When you’d like to arrange this during your holiday

Transport Arrangements

  • Many of our holidays offer different airport choices on the same departure and where they do, your group can select the one that suits them best.

  • Riviera can usually pre-book the seats or secure a block allocation to keep your group together, but it will depend on each service provider, so we will advise you accordingly.

Other useful information

Receive 10% back or a free place when you book for a group of 10 or more

  • We accept groups of any size. However, Riviera will offer 10% back of the value of the group booking for groups of 10+. 
  • This can be exchanged for a free place if you prefer, although this tends to be of lesser value for larger groups.

1 in 8 goes free when you book a 2024 or 2025 river cruise as a group of 8 or more

  • There’s even more to enjoy on a group holiday, now 1 in every 8 guests goes free when you book a 2024 or 2025 river cruise as a group of 8 or more.
  • You could use the saving to upgrade to a more luxurious cabin, to add on the drinks package, or to simply have more money in your pocket when you explore the local areas. Whether you’re travelling as a group of friends, a society or organised club, you can relax knowing you’ve got unbeatable value for money.

  • No. We have many groups that travel several times a year with us – always at the best possible price whether with or without the same members each time.

  • There is no maximum number, however, some of our tours are capped at 25 people, so depending on the destination you choose, we can advise accordingly.
  • If you want to ensure you can travel together on the same coach and stay in the same hotel, we suggest no more than 49 members travel as a group.

  • We accept any names, factual or fictional!

  • We always include a baggage allowance in the cost of our tours and cruises, however the weight limit and number of items varies for each supplier and we can advise accordingly.
