At Riviera Travel, their itineraries are thoughtfully designed to include all the essential sights and experiences that your chosen destination has to offer. Riviera Travel ensures that you don't miss out on any important highlights. For detailed information on what is included, please call our Cruise Experts for more information.
You will be provided with information about your luggage allowance when you receive your final travel documents. These documents are typically sent approximately 10 days before your departure date. If you would like more information, you can contact our Cruise Experts on 01246 819 819. Please note that for Eurostar, each person is allowed a maximum of 2 pieces of luggage, and there may be no porterage service available on the station platform.
There is no need for formal attire on board; smart/casual clothing is appropriate for both day and evening activities as there is no dress code enforced. However, men are kindly asked to refrain from wearing shorts for dinner or tank tops at any time in the dining room. If desired, men can wear a jacket and tie for dinner. The Captain's Dinner provides the chance for those who wish to dress up more formally.
Certainly! All cabins and suites come with tea and coffee facilities that are replenished daily. Additionally, there is a complimentary tea and coffee machine available in the public areas of the ship for everyone to use.
Gratuities on a Riveria Travel cruise are not automatically billed as a fixed percentage or included in the cost. They believe that tipping should be entirely up to your discretion. However, if you would like a suggestion, we recommend giving €8-12 per person per day, if you feel it is appropriate. On the final evening of your holiday, an envelope will be provided in your cabin. If you wish, you can drop it off at reception the following morning. The tips collected are divided equally among the crew. If you choose to give a gratuity directly to your Riviera Travel Cruise Director and Concierge, that is also at your discretion.
Riviera Travel provides a variety of drinks packages that you can purchase and the price depends on the duration of your cruise. The package includes draught beer, non-alcoholic beer, soft drinks, juices, and red, white, and rose house wines, as well as wine recommendations from the menu, which are available during lunch and dinner. To add a drinks package, call one of our Cruise Experts before your departure, and ensure that it is added for all passengers in the cabin. In case you decide not to purchase a drinks package, there is a vast selection of individual drinks available on board each ship.
The plug sockets on Riviera's ships are standard 2-pin round European sockets. Therefore, it is advised to bring an appropriate adaptor to ensure compatibility with your electronic devices. Please note that the cabins on the MS Emily Brontë, MS Thomas Hardy, MS Oscar Wilde, MS Geoffrey Chaucer, MS William Wordsworth, and MS George Eliot do have some UK plug sockets for the convenience of passengers with UK-based devices.
