Step aboard the Riviera Alba, a boutique river cruise ship crafted uniquely for the waters of the Mekong River by Riviera Travel. Built for 2027, the ship carries just 50 guests in 25 suites and is crewed by 32 devoted staff, meaning you benefit from an exceptional crew-to-guest ratio. Its low-draft design lets it navigate shallower channels with ease — perfect for exploring remote stretches of the Mekong, from Vietnam into Cambodia. The décor and atmosphere are refined yet relaxed, with panoramic windows, open decks, and an ambience intended to reflect the charm of Southeast Asia.
On board the Riviera Alba you’ll find both relaxation and engagement in equal measure. The sun deck features a jet pool and a Jacuzzi, while loungers and a jogging track allow you to unwind or stay active as the scenic riverbanks slide by. From the Saigon Bar and Lounge you can sip a sundowner while watching life on the river unfold — a superb way to finish a day of exploration. With the vessel’s smaller size you’ll also have plenty of opportunity for more personal service and a gentler pace of life on board — ideal if you appreciate cruising without the hustle of large crowds.
Dining on the Riviera Alba is centred around the main restaurant, where meals are served against panoramic river-views. Breakfast is buffet-style; lunch and dinner follow set-menu formats created with local ingredients and international touches to reflect regional cuisine. Included in your fare are local beer and wine alongside soft drinks with lunch and dinner, plus tea, coffee and water throughout the day. The experience is designed to feel relaxed yet elevated — dining becomes part of your cultural immersion rather than just a necessity.
Your suite on board Riviera Alba offers generous comfort and thoughtful design. With only 25 suites on board, most benefit from large windows or — depending on category — full panoramic views of the river. The décor draws on local influences, creating a calming and elegant private retreat between shore excursions. Features such as Wi-Fi, climate control and storage are standard, again underscoring the boutique-feel rather than mass-market. While full cabin specifics (square-metres, category breakdown) are not yet exhaustively published, the overall indication is that cabins are sized and styled with comfort and scenery in mind rather than mere functionality.
