Riverside Luxury Cruises has joined the Ensemble network of preferred partners, the river cruise line's first partnership with a travel agency consortium.
Riverside, which operates on the Danube, Rhine and Rhone rivers, is backed by the German hospitality group Seaside Collection and launched in 2023.
"This partnership reflects our ongoing focus on delivering exceptional
value to our members through enhanced commissions and unique client
perks, as well as our commitment to aligning with brands that share our
dedication to elevated service and immersive travel experiences," said
Rachel Grogan, the senior director of cruise partner relations for
Ensemble.
Ensemble members will have access to certain advantages through the partnership. In addition to an enhanced commission structure, clients of Ensemble advisors will receive a discount on Riverside's Vintage Room, an onboard fine dining experience priced at about $365.
Ensemble said in its announcement that the partnership reinforces its commitment to growing its cruise business.
Jennifer Halboth, Riverside's CEO, praised the "unwavering support of some truly savvy advisors" for helping the line in "elevating the entire river cruise space for a new generation of luxury travelers."
"And now with the strength of Ensemble's network now behind us, we're excited to share our unique brand with an even wider audience."
