As Riviera Travel (formerly Riviera River Cruises) continues its expansion in North America, the company is making several key leadership changes.

“Stuart has been instrumental in driving our growth in the U.K.,” says Phil Hullah, chief executive officer of Riviera Travel. “Moving forward in his expanded role, he will be able to leverage his deep understanding of the Riviera brand and translate the outstanding work he is doing in the U.K. into success in the U.S. market, as we collectively push to strengthen Riviera’s presence in this key region.”

The news comes on the heels of Riviera’s opening of its new flagship North America office in Fort Lauderdale. The company has also added experienced sales professionals to its U.S.-based team, including Dana Horton, Andy Stewart and Clark Reber.

“North America represents a significant opportunity for expansion and with this team at the helm, I am confident Riviera Travel will be able to continue delivering extraordinary travel experiences while growing our market share,” says Hullah.
