What to expect from Riviera Alba
Overview
Step aboard the Riviera Alba, where boutique elegance meets the gentle rhythm of river life.
Built exclusively for Riviera Travel, it’s our first ship outside of Europe. This intimate vessel welcomes just 50 guests into 25 beautifully appointed suites, each designed to reflect the charm and character of the Mekong region.
Designed with a low draft - meaning the ship sits higher in the water and can navigate shallower channels - the Riviera Alba is perfectly suited to explore the captivating waterways between Saigon and Siem Reap. The ship’s refined interiors, panoramic windows, and open deck spaces invite guests to unwind and take in the ever-changing scenery of the Mekong River.
On board, guests enjoy a high crew-to-guest ratio and attentive service throughout. Days are enriched with authentic Asian and international cuisine in the main restaurant, leisurely dips in the pool and jacuzzi or indulgent treatments at the spa. For quieter moments, the lounge bar offers a serene vantage point - the perfect place to sip a refreshing drink and watch riverside life drift by.

Gratuities
Giving a gratuity is entirely at your discretion, so we have not included these in your holiday cost, and we don't add it as a set percentage.
If you would like to tip the staff, a good guideline is to give €8-12 per person per day should you feel that is appropriate.
If you do choose to give a gratuity, there will usually be an envelope is left in your cabin on the final evening. This is for you to be able include any tips, and you can then drop it off at reception the following morning. The tips are divided equally between the crew.
Should you also wish to give a gratuity directly to your Riviera Travel Cruise Director and Concierge, this is also at your discretion.
