Riviera Alba
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.
