I wandered lonely as a cloud…..

On board Riviera Travel MS William Wordsworth, our gala evening event was glittering and fun. Superb food and service was the hallmark of the trip with dollops of laughter thrown in. Our grand finale in Bratislava was crowned with an amazing lunch in UFO Restaurant with Michelin standard fare and fantastic local wine pairings. Phil Huellah (CEO Riviera Travel), Vicky Billings, Roxy, Lloyd, Stephen, Chris and all the stunning Riviera staff need to take a bow. Our final night on board ended with a performance by a string quartet. Uplifting and the perfect cultural ending to a lovely itinerary.
