Riviera Travel has announced the launch of Riviera Explorer, a digital education platform designed to support travel agents in selling its European river cruises.
"Travel advisors play such a pivotal role in our industry, and we are committed to providing them with the tools they need to grow and enhance their business," said Stuart Milan, president of North America for Riviera Travel. "Riviera Explorer is an accessible, efficient, and impactful platform designed to enhance advisors' knowledge and sales skills. Our goal is to empower as many travel advisors as possible to confidently sell the Riviera product."
The training hub features six modules covering Europe's major rivers, Riviera's fleet, solo travel options, group offerings, grand tours and the line's hotel, flight and transport operations. Each module starts with a video component and then includes key highlights, quick facts and quizzes.
The platform includes three levels: Freshman, Senior and Graduate. Travel advisors advance through the modules to build knowledge and skills, earning the title of Riviera Graduate with a certificate of achievement upon completion. The full program can be completed in four to five hours and is flexible, permitting advisors to complete it in a single day or at their own pace.
Riviera Explorer includes agent resources such as brochures, window posters, social media post templates and training videos to help advisors sell and promote Riviera Travel.
To mark the platform's launch, Riviera Travel is offering 20 FAM trip spots to advisors who complete every module by September 30, 2025. Qualifying advisors will be automatically entered to win one of two European river cruise FAM trips for 2026.
The platform will add new modules, seasonal campaigns and brand updates to keep travel advisors educated. Travel advisors can register for Riviera Explorer at http://www.rivexplorer.com.
