YouTube interview with Ken Lawrence of Real Travel Experts

I was recently invited onto Real Travel Experts-Travel Talk to engage in a fascinating discussion about two of the most popular river cruise lines in the industry: Avalon Waterways and Riviera River Cruises. This opportunity allowed me to delve into the unique offerings and experiences provided by each of these cruise lines, which are well-known for their exceptional service and immersive travel experiences.


During the interview, I shared my personal insights drawn from my own experiences sailing with Avalon Waterways. I discussed the various amenities and features that make Avalon a standout choice for travelers seeking a luxurious river cruise experience. From their spacious staterooms with panoramic views to their innovative dining options that highlight local cuisine, Avalon Waterways truly excels in providing an unforgettable journey along some of the world's most beautiful rivers.

In addition to my experiences with Avalon, I also talked about my recent tour aboard Riviera River Cruises’ stunning vessel, the Lord Byron. This ship is renowned for its elegant design and outstanding service, which collectively create a welcoming atmosphere for guests. I highlighted some of the unique itineraries offered by Riviera, which often include exclusive excursions that allow travelers to explore the rich history and culture of the regions they are visiting. The combination of luxurious accommodations and thoughtfully curated experiences makes Riviera an appealing choice for many river cruise enthusiasts.


Moreover, I was thrilled to discuss a brand-new development that has me particularly excited: Riviera is launching a ship designed specifically for solo travelers! This innovative approach is a significant step forward in the cruise industry, as it addresses the growing demand for travel options that cater to individuals who prefer to explore on their own. The new ship will feature accommodations that are tailored to solo travelers, providing them with the opportunity to enjoy a cruise experience without the added cost of single supplements, which can often deter solo adventurers from embarking on such journeys. I believe this initiative will open up new avenues for many who wish to experience the joys of river cruising while enjoying their independence.

Overall, my time on RTE-Travel Talk was not only an opportunity to share my personal experiences but also to highlight the evolving landscape of river cruising, particularly with the exciting developments from Riviera River Cruises. The future looks bright for solo travelers and all those seeking memorable experiences on the water.
