Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

This week, I'm pleased to present the following offers from Riviera Travel. The company has more than 40 years of experience in the travel business and operates deluxe ships on Europe's spectacular rivers. Guests enjoy spacious accommodations and outstanding food and service, resulting in impressive customer satisfaction scores.

Save up to 69% on river cruises departing through 2027. Plus, get special low rates on air tickets booked along with your cruise. On many departures, you will also receive a free pre- or post-cruise hotel night. Book by January 31.

Single supplement is waived on cruises that are exclusive to solo travelers.

The upfront price of a Riviera cruise includes all onboard meals along with house wine and draft beer at lunch and dinner and unlimited house wine, draft beer and house spirits at the bar from 10 a.m. to midnight.

Most ships have a pool, fitness room, sauna, steam room, salon, library and complimentary Wi-Fi. A selection of guided shore excursions is also included, and vessels carry bicycles that passengers can use ashore to explore independently.

This year, Riviera will operate several new themed trips that focus on topics such as history, art, music, nature and gastronomy. The company also created a number of Grand Tours that combine a seven-night river cruise with a seven-night land package featuring carefully curated hotels and guided sightseeing. In addition, a new ship -- the 178-passenger Riviera Resplendence -- will begin sailing the Rhine River this summer.
