Riviera River Cruises Giving Gift Cards for Last-Minute Holiday Bookings

The holidays are on the way and Riviera River Cruises is offering a gift to travel advisors for last-minute bookings on its popular holiday season departures. For every new booking of a cabin on a 2022 holiday season cruise, travel advisors will receive a $100 gift card. Advisors’ clients can celebrate Europe’s Rhine and Danube Rivers in all their wintry splendor throughout December and into 2023 with Riviera’s popular Yuletide Markets cruises and its cruises over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

“Our holiday season cruises are always popular and they’re booking up again this year,” said Marilyn Conroy, Riviera River Cruises’ Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing North America. “In the spirit of the season, we’re offering gift cards to travel advisors for last-minute holiday bookings, so they’ll have a little extra to spend on themselves or those on their Christmas list. At Riviera, we’re always supportive of the travel agency community, working exclusively with advisors, and this is just one of the ways we express our gratitude.”

For every new booking of a double- or single-occupancy cabin on a December 2022 departure, travel advisors will receive a $100 gift card. Gift cards will be mailed upon deposit. Available until cabins are sold out or final departure date of the season.
