What changed
Riviera Travel lifted the stop-sale on its Rhine and Danube programmes earlier than the previously announced September 13 end date.
The operator created revised Danube itineraries and Netherlands-and-Belgium routing for Rhine departures. A train journey between Budapest and Vienna has also been added to some operating plans.
The income and servicing impact
Sales access has reopened, restoring an opportunity to quote and book. The risk is not a lower commission rate; it is the extra servicing, expectation management and potential cancellation exposure created by exceptionally low and variable river conditions.
Your move: use only Riviera’s current itinerary when quoting, reconfirm every affected departure before final payment and set client expectations around route or transport substitutions.
