Built exclusively for Riviera Travel, the Riviera Alba marks an exciting milestone: their very first ship outside of Europe. Intimate, stylish, and inspired by the spirit of Southeast Asia, this boutique vessel welcomes just 50 guests into 25 beautifully appointed suites, each thoughtfully designed to reflect the charm and character of the Mekong region.
Crafted with a low‑draft design, the Riviera Alba sits higher in the water, allowing it to navigate the Mekong’s shallower, lesser‑travelled channels with ease. This means guests can explore the captivating waterways between Saigon and Siem Reap more deeply, more intimately, and with a front‑row view of life along one of the world’s most storied rivers.
Inside, the ship blends refined interiors with panoramic windows and open deck spaces that invite you to slow down, unwind, and watch the ever‑changing scenery drift by. A high crew‑to‑guest ratio ensures attentive, personalised service throughout your journey.
Days on board are enriched with authentic Asian and international cuisine in the main restaurant, leisurely dips in the jet pool and jacuzzi, indulgent treatments at the spa, and quiet moments in the Saigon Bar & Lounge, where floor‑to‑ceiling views frame the river’s gentle rhythm.

About Christine Foulds
I’m originally from Germany and traveling has always been a part of my family’s DNA. Over the past 20 years, I’ve lived and worked in 5 different countries (USA, Austria, Russia, Peru and the UK) and learnt to speak 3 foreign languages (Russian and Spanish are getting a bit rusty though). I thoroughly enjoy working with travel enthusiasts who like to explore and visit new parts of the world as much as I do.
