Riviera Travel is expanding to Asia with the launch of a brand-new ship, Riviera Alba, setting sail on the Mekong River in 2027.This news follows Riviera’s recent unveiling of the world’s first dedicated solo cruise ship.
Accommodating just 50 guests across 25 suites, Riviera Alba will have an open-air sun deck with a jacuzzi and pool. Other onboard amenities will include a main restaurant serving both international and Asian cuisines, a lounge bar, spa, library, and a coffee and tea lounge. Complimentary Wi-Fi will also be included.
Riviera’s new “Vietnam, Cambodia and Mekong River Cruise” itinerary will offer 14 guided experiences, including a stop in Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, and other smaller, lesser-known ports that offer a glimpse into rural life. Time in Siem Reap will let guests explore the temples of Angkor, including Angkor Wat. Guests will delve into ancient temples, wander through lively local markets, and witness daily life unfold along the banks of this storied waterway.
The 13-night itinerary is available to book now with departures between September and December 2027.
Bookings for Riviera’s 2027 departures are also open, including two new solo itineraries: “Budapest to the Black Sea” and “Cruise the Heart of Europe (Rhine, Main & Danube).” Travelers who book by 16 November 2025 can save up to 50 percent on published brochure rates for 2027 itineraries. A two-for-one airfare credit is also now available on select 2026 departures when flights are booked through Riviera, valued at up to $1,500 per guest.
