Riviera Travel expands ocean cruise options

Additional ocean cruises have been introduced by Riviera Travel for next year and in 2024.

Tall ship sailings in the Mediterranean return to the portfolio with three departures in 2024 while an Icelandic itinerary will run next year using “expedition-ready” ship MS Seaventure.

Riviera Travel head of product river and ocean cruise, Katja Hildebrandt, said: “We’re thrilled to once again be able to offer tall ship sailings, as these cruises are always incredibly popular with guests. 

“Their classic itineraries allow passengers to take-in the very best of southern Europe from these exclusively-chartered, stunning 19th century sail-vessels – an experience that can’t be matched.

“The introduction of MS Seaventure on our new Icelandic Adventure is equally exciting, and we’re confident guests will enjoy this bucket-list voyage. This cruise offers the perfect combination of exploration and stunning scenic sailing.”

The new sailings go on sale today (Thursday), including return flights and transfers, guided tours and visits, all meals onboard and the services of an expert tour manager.

The 11-day Iceland voyage runs from August 29, 2023 on the 158-passenger MS Seaventure, which was refurbished in 2019 and has 80 ocean-view cabins with a choice of balcony, panoramic window or porthole. Prices start at £4,599 per person.

Royal Clipper, Star Clipper and Star Flyer will run voyages between May and July 2024 on three different Med itineraries, with prices leading in at £2,699pp for an 11-day Aegean sailing including two nights in Istanbul and one in Athens.
