Join the TTG Luxury Journey with Riverside Luxury Cruises this December
Luxury travel advisors are invited to join Riverside Luxury Cruises for a festive sailing along the Danube this December, for our first-ever TTG Luxury Journey on a European river cruise!
This December, six lucky agents could be joining Riverside Luxury Cruises for a sailing like no other. This exclusive trip will be the first TTG Luxury Journey to take place on a European river cruise, immersing travel advisors in everything the line has to offer, as they soak up the enchanting festive spirit along the Danube.
Riverside Luxury Cruises launched earlier this year, following parent company Seaside Collection’s acquisition of five former Crystal Cruises incredible ultra-luxury river ships. Itineraries span the Danube, Rhine, Rhone and Saone, and agents will be among the first in the UK to experience these destinations the Riverside way.
Riverside Mozart sails on the Danube, while Riverside Ravel launched on the Rhone in August and the remaining ships will all set sail throughout 2024 and 2025.
“The most important promotional tools we have are our beautiful ships, which are the most luxurious on Europe’s waterways,” explains Stuart Perl, managing director for the UK, MEA and Australia. “Our river cruises are incomparable, so we’re incredibly excited to showcase what makes us different on our upcoming TTG Luxury Journey, where agents can see first-hand how we have curated our offering to meet the ever-evolving demands of today’s most discerning travellers.”
Agents on this trip will sail on the lavishly renovated Riverside Mozart, which promises personal butler service, immaculate and spacious suites, sumptuous cuisine and exclusive excursions. During the four-night Journey they’ll discover what the line has to tempt affluent clients – both those “new-to-cruise”, and those familiar with life on the water
How to enter
You just need to answer a few questions about Riverside Luxury Cruises to be in with a chance of a place on the TTG Luxury Journey this December.
There are six places available for agents to experience the service, onboard offering and shore excursions carefully curated by the line.
Immersive experiences
This exclusive trip will take place from 15-19 December 2023, sailing from Vienna to Passau on Riverside Luxury Cruises’ Christmas Spirit Along the Danube itinerary. To enable agents to reach the ship, flights from London or Manchester will also be included, alongside transfers from the airport to Riverside Mozart.
On the TTG Luxury Journey, agents will get to sample the line’s generous shore excursions package. It includes a choice of one full-day or two half-day excursions when the ship is in port all day, and a wide selection of half-day excursions to enjoy on shorter stops.
In Vienna, their choice of excursions includes a visit to the Imperial Schonbrunn Palace with its own Christmas market, while in Krems, a creative art workshop and a magical advent event in the beautiful Kittenberger Garden await. Agents can experience the historic charm and festive atmosphere in Salzburg and visit Mozart’s house, and as they weave along the Danube, they’ll also immerse themselves in the Christmas spirit by visiting various enchanting festive markets.
Excursions are united under themes such as active, culture, learn, music, see and taste, with excellent local guided experiences delivered in English. Many feature fascinating museums and insider tours not normally available to the general public.
Back onboard, agents on this TTG Luxury Journey will sample Riverside Mozart’s four indoor dining venues – and if the weather is kind, perhaps a sumptuous lunchtime barbeque on deck as the ship sails through the stunning Wachau Valley. As the ship moves between destinations, the specialities onboard change, inspired by the world’s different regions. High-quality, seasonal produce is sourced locally, and the ship also boasts an extensive wine cellar for guests to choose from, with an array of vintages.
Agents on the the TTG Luxury Journey will also enjoy Riverside’s premium beverage package, which spans premium wine, spirits, cocktails, French champagne, and of course, a well-stocked minibar.
As you’d expect from an ultra-luxury product, Riverside fares include all accommodation, dining and beverages onboard, a choice of excursions in every port, butler service for all suites, room service, gratuities, WiFi, port charges and taxes, and transfers between the airport and ship. Offering guests the luxury of choice, fare plans are also available for those who prefer not to go all-inclusive.
Taking care of everything
Riverside Luxury Cruises offers all guests 24-hour butler service, which agents will also be able to experience. Polite, discreet and always professional, butlers take care of guests’ daily needs, perhaps reserving a time for a massage in the spa, securing a table in a special restaurant on land, or assisting with laundry.
Riverside Mozart carries up to 162 passengers, boasting a crew-to-suite ratio of 1:1, while suites range from 20 square metres to 82 square metres, ensuring ample space, privacy and the highest degree of comfort. All ships include a spa, alongside a fitness area with Technogym equipment. There is also a Finnish sauna and steam bath, and an indoor pool with a counter current to challenge swimmers.
No matter how luxury agents choose to enjoy the ship and this magical journey along the Danube, they will return feeling enthused and inspired by what a river cruise has to offer.
