Riviera River Cruises Offers FAMs, Onboard Credit for Travel Advisor Appreciation Month

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – In celebration of Travel Advisor Appreciation Month in May and National Travel Advisor Day on May 5, Riviera River Cruises is offering promotions for $499 or free FAM cruises for advisors and up to €400 in onboard credit for their clients. Throughout the month, advisors who book a client on a 2021 or 2022 European river cruise of eight days or more will be eligible for a FAM cruise of their choice for $499 per person for themselves and a travel companion. Additional bookings made in the 90 days after the FAM can result in refunds for both the advisor and their companion. The onboard credit promotion provides advisors’ clients up to €400 in credit per cabin for use on drinks in the lounge and restaurants, spa or salon treatments, souvenirs from the boutique or even gratuities.

“At Riviera, we’ve always been supportive of travel advisors and this is our way of saying thank you to them and their clients for making us their preferred river cruise line,” said Marilyn Conroy, Riviera River Cruises’ Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing North America. “The FAM promotion is an affordable – and possibly free – way for advisors to experience one of our European river cruises firsthand, while the onboard credit promotion will give their clients a little extra to spend on their own holiday. We appreciate all that advisors do for us and hope that they and their clients are able to take advantage of these offers.”
