Groups will be able to take to the water aboard Riviera Resplendence when it is added to the Rivera Travel fleet in 2026, with three dining options, a spa and wellness area and a range of cabin choices.
The new vessel, which will hold 178-guests, will be a sister ship to Riviera Radiance, which launches next year.
Riviera Resplendence will follow in 2026 and feature three dining venues, including a new restaurant called Mosaic, offering a selection of bite-sized options inspired by the rivers of Europe. Guests will be able to choose from the market menu – comprising meat and fish dishes – or the vegetarian and vegan-focused garden menu.
Elsewhere, a split-level lounge and dining room will provide further space for guests. Other facilities include a spa and wellness area, pool, bistro with an open kitchen and a boutique gift shop.
The ship’s grand balcony suites will measure 32 square metres, the operator’s largest ever, with a separate lounge area and balcony with seating. Superior suites and double cabins with a French balcony will also be available.
“We are determined to keep pace with ever-increasing demand for our cruises…”
Will Sarson, product director, Riviera Travel
Will Sarson, product director at Riviera, said: “We’re thrilled to reveal this latest addition to our river cruise fleet, which further underlines our commitment to delivering a high-quality onboard experience for our guests. There will be a wealth of new facilities and features to enjoy, while we’ll also ensure we maintain the distinct elements of a Riviera ship that have proved so popular over the years.
“We are determined to keep pace with ever-increasing demand for our cruises, and at the same time making certain everything we do – both on and off our ships – is unmistakably Riviera.”
