Creator's Key Takeaways

The brand is most known as a British company, but my time on its newest Riviera Radiance proved it's almost every bit as ready for North American passengers as well.

I was thrilled by this expertly assembled pesto pasta, which is always a favorite of mine, but happened to be one of the best ever on a riverboat.

Be prepared for European and British electrical outlets and bring adapters for US prongs.
Reserve alternative dining venues in advance as they require reservations.
