Riviera Travel plans to launch a new ship on the Danube in September 2027.

Called the Riviera Reflection, the vessel will be the newest Radiance-class ship and is sister ship to the Riviera Radiance and forthcoming Riviera Resplendence, which will begin sailing this year.

Sales for the Reflection will open March 18, when itinerary details will be available. 

The ship will have 89 cabins across three decks. The Grand Suites are 344-square-feet with a separate living area, king-size bed and private balcony. The Superior Suites are 258-square-feet and have floor-to-ceiling French balconies. Standard cabins are 172-square-feet with a French balcony. 

The Radiance began sailing last year, featuring a new split-level design. 

Riviera's president of North America Stuart Milan said the Radiance "received an incredible response from both travelers and advisors." 

"As we continue to enhance the Riviera Travel experience, we are proud to expand our fleet with a ship that truly embodies the spirit of refined travel," he said. 

Riviera will also repurpose its George Eliot ship next year for solo-only cruises and will expand to Asia with the Riviera Alba.
