Riviera River Cruises offers commissionable flight and hotel bookings

Tourcrafters and Auto Europe will be able to assist travel advisors when making flight, hotel and transfer arrangements for their clients. Once travel advisors book with Riviera, they will be transferred to Tourcrafters and Auto Europe if flight and hotel accommodations are needed. Auto Europe will pay commission on both services (Auto Europe owns Tourcrafters).

Travel advisors have been requesting these services, said Marilyn Conroy, Riviera’s executive vice president of sales and marketing for North America.

“Like our own company, Tourcrafters and Auto Europe have decades of experience in the industry — together, we’ll be able to work with advisors to put together a more complete package for their European river cruise clients.”

Prior to the new partnership, travel advisors would book flights, hotels and transfers on their own.

Riviera offers several pre- and post-cruise packages that include hotel stays and transportation to and from the cruise port.
