Riviera Travel has revealed the first grand prize winner of its new incentive programme for travel agents – The Riviera Vault

The initiative, which ran between 7 July to 10 August this year proved to be a major success, seeing participation from more than 700 agents.

Annie Hughes from Newell’s Travel has been crowned the winner, securing an all-inclusive cruise for two aboard the new Riviera Resplendence, which launches in 2026. The prize also includes transfers, flights, excursions, and complimentary beverages.

Vicky Billing, director of trade & partnerships UK & Ireland at Riviera Travel, said: “We’re always striving to be easy to do business with, and the introduction of the Vault has helped us achieve just that. The engagement has been phenomenal, and I’m genuinely excited to re-launch the Vault in September ahead of Mini Peaks, where we’ll be offering even more prizes to reward our amazing travel agent partners.”

The launch of The Riviera Vault has also driven strong engagement with the Riviera Explorer trade learning platform, which now exceeds 3,000 agent registrations.

Speaking after her win, Annie Hughes said: “I’m absolutely stoked to have won – I’ll be taking my mum on the cruise as she loves being at sea, and we’re looking at June or July next year. Riviera makes things so easy for us agents, it’s always in touch, it supports us with training, and the product is such a natural fit for our customers.”

The Riviera Vault will return, with a date to be announced soon where agents stand stornger chances of winning rewards.
