A total of more than 50 agents will take part in the trips which depart between June and October. Riviera said that this number of agents would equal the highest number it is taken on educationals during a single year.

The trips will take place on two departures on the Seine, Paris and Normandy itinerary, as well as two trips on the Rhine to Switzerland trip. There will also be one educational on both the Blue Danube itinerary and the Rhine and Moselle cruise. Each trip will be accompanied by a member of Riviera’s trade sales team.

Agents who would like to apply for a place on one of these river cruise trips should go to Riviera’s Facebook page for agents with submissions closing on 30 May.

Tom Morgan, Riviera Travel’s head of trade UK & Ireland, said: “We know the best possible way for agents to hone their Riviera expertise is by experiencing our incredible ships and itineraries, so we’ve ensured there are as many fam trip places available as possible. 

“We’ve received fantastic feedback for our previous trips and can’t wait for the trade to step onboard again to sample the unbeatable onboard service, cuisine and shore excursions we pride ourselves on.”
