2027 River Cruises

Announcing our most exciting collection yet - 2027 river cruises now open, with more destinations, more departures and the world’s first solo-exclusive river cruise ship.

For the first time ever, we’re launching a brand-new ship outside of Europe – blending Riviera's top-notch quality and service with the magic of the Mekong. Alongside this landmark moment, we’ve added three new worldwide itineraries so you can feel the pulse of the Mekong, experience the serenity of the Ganges or marvel at the timeless beauty of the Yangtze. 

Launching in 2027, the five‑star Riviera Reflection

Riviera Reflection joins sister ships Riviera Radiance and Riviera Resplendence, bringing our most spacious accommodation to the fleet. Bright and beautifully designed with our Swiss partners, it features generous Grand Suites, elegant dining and over 80% of cabins with floor‑to‑ceiling French balconies. Thoughtfully crafted for comfort and style, Reflection offers a refined way to explore Europe.

Solo River Cruises

For solo travellers, we’ve added two new European cruises – picked from our most popular river cruises – and from 2027, MS George Eliot becomes the world’s first river cruise ship dedicated entirely to solo guests. That means more departures, more space, and no single supplements – just the freedom to explore, your way.

Introducing the world’s first solo-exclusive river cruise ship

Solo travel is having a moment – and we’re proud to be leading the way. From 2027, we’re launching something truly special: the first river cruise ship in the world dedicated entirely to solo travellers.

Enjoy your own cabin, curated excursions, and the company of fellow solo guests who love travel as much as you do. No sharing, no supplements, no compromises - just unforgettable journeys, designed for one and enjoyed together.
