Group Bookings FAQs

• You can opt out of any of the included excursions if you wish, just let us know so that the tour manager is not waiting for you on that day.

• Absolutely, if your group loves dining together, Riviera can either pre-book a menu or make the table reservations on your behalf.
  • To do this, we’ll just need to know:
    • Your budget 
    • When you’d like to arrange this during your holiday

• Yes, we can do this for you. It’s usually more economical for you to use your own regular coach supplier but we will assist with this and provide alternative quotes too if required.

Travelling by air

• Many of our holidays offer different airport choices on the same departure and where they do, your group can select the one that suits them best.

Travelling by rail

• On tours served by regional rail services, we offer a selection of departure stations, so each member can select their preferred station. 

Both options allow members to travel independently and then join together as a group for the tour and accommodation.

• Riviera can usually pre-book the seats or secure a block allocation to keep your group together, but it will depend on each service provider, so we will advise you accordingly.

Receive 10% back or a free place when you book for a group of 10 or more

• We accept groups of any size. However, Riviera will offer 10% back of the value of the group booking for groups of 10+. 
• This can be exchanged for a free place if you prefer, although this tends to be of lesser value for larger groups.

1 in 8 goes free when you book a 2024 or 2025 river cruise as a group of 8 or more

• There’s even more to enjoy on a group holiday, now 1 in every 8 guests goes free when you book a 2024 or 2025 river cruise as a group of 8 or more.
• You could use the saving to upgrade to a more luxurious cabin, to add on the drinks package, or to simply have more money in your pocket when you explore the local areas. Whether you’re travelling as a group of friends, a society or organised club, you can relax knowing you’ve got unbeatable value for money.

• No. We have many groups that travel several times a year with us – always at the best possible price whether with or without the same members each time.

• There is no maximum number, however, some of our tours are capped at 25 people, so depending on the destination you choose, we can advise accordingly.
• If you want to ensure you can travel together on the same coach and stay in the same hotel, we suggest no more than 49 members travel as a group.

• We accept any names, factual or fictional!

• We always include a baggage allowance in the cost of our tours and cruises, however the weight limit and number of items varies for each supplier and we can advise accordingly.
