Not quite the cruise he originally booked… but a wonderful holiday all the same! 🚢💙
Stephen recently set off on his first ever cruise, although low water on the Rhine meant a last-minute change of itinerary.
After considering the alternative offered by Riviera Travel, he decided to go ahead — and I was delighted to receive his feedback when he returned! 🥰
Exploring Cologne, Kinderdijk, Ghent and Nijmegen aboard Riviera Resplendence, he enjoyed lovely destinations, outstanding food and a ship he described as spotless, with a friendly and attentive crew.
He also praised the clear daily updates and how easy everything felt, right down to the crew taking care of his luggage. 🧳✨
“I highly recommend Riviera Travel for their ability to turn a cruise cancelled by the weather, into a wonderful experience.”
You can’t control river levels, but good communication and looking after people make such a difference when plans change.
Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback, Stephen. So pleased your first taste of cruising was a happy one! 💙
If you’re thinking about taking your first river cruise, pop me a message! I’d love to help you explore the options and find the right trip for you. 💌🚢
