Riverside Luxury Cruises reports ‘record sales growth’ for 2025

Riverside Luxury Cruises enjoyed “record sales growth” in 2025, doubling its year-on-year sales from 2024.

The line attributed the success in part to its “deepened engagement” with agents, as well as growing brand awareness.

Managing director Charlie Hewitt-Davies said: “The growth we experienced this year is a testament to the trust our guests and partners place in the Riverside brand.

“Doubling our sales while maintaining the highest standards of luxury and service is an achievement we are incredibly proud of as we head into 2026.”

Heightened industry recognition also helped make 2025 “one of the most successful chapters in the company’s short history”, with the line earning multiple industry honours for its “exceptional guest experience, top-notch culinary programme and highly personalised service”.

Another “significant milestone” for the brand saw it become a preferred supplier of luxury travel agency network Virtuoso last September. Hewitt-Davies said: “Travel advisors are at the heart of luxury travel, and their belief in Riverside has been instrumental to our growth in 2025.”

Looking ahead to 2026, the line plans to expand its itineraries and introduce new themed sailings, including itineraries centred around golf and beer. There are also “fresh surprises” planned for its culinary offering.

Speaking about the past year’s success, Hewitt-Davies said: “Doubling our sales, earning industry recognitions and building meaningful consortia partnerships has validated everything we set out to achieve when we launched the brand less than three years ago, and we’re just getting started.”
