There was no one that made traveling during Covid easier than our cruise manager, Martina. During my time on AmaSiena, Martina handled everything that we needed in order to pass freely from country to country by getting us paperwork, filling out forms, and even translating documents for the guests on board. I sat down with Martina as our cruise drew to a close to ask her about her first trip back as a Cruise Manager since before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The UK-based river cruise company is still relatively new to the American market, but in Conroy's own words, "[Riviera] offers a top of the premium line product, but where prices are less than premium." Because of its affordable cruise fares and amenities, the company has been busier than ever the past few years as it has introduced itself to the American market.
