Riviera celebrates Christmas afloat across Australia

Riviera owners will be popping champagne corks around Australia as they join with fellow Riviera family members for Christmas festivities afloat.

With less than six weeks until Christmas, Riviera is decorating the bows with tinsel and baubles to celebrate the arrival of the Australian boating season with Christmas Parties held from Perth to Pittwater to the Pin, all being hosted by Riviera’s R Marine network.

Riviera’s Bling on Summer Christmas Party will be held at The Basin, Pittwater and the Royal Motor Yacht Club, Broken Bay for Sydney owners, while across the country in Western Australia, R Marine Perth will host a Christmas Raft Up in front of Perth City on the eastern side of Narrows Bridge to celebrate the festive season and R Marine Mandurah will host their Cocktails on the Coast Christmas Party at their Mandurah dealership in December and a special Australia Day celebration in the New Year.

In Queensland, R Marine Jones will host their annual Christmas Party with buffet lunch at Jumpin Pin on the Broadwater and R Marine Crawley will host their Sunset on the Dock Christmas Party at their Runaway Bay dealership. R Marine South Australia will host two fun-filled family events leading into Christmas, the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia Boating Showcase on November 29 where they will launch the new Riviera 565 SUV and their annual ‘Cockling Day’ on December 8.

Riviera’s director of brand and communications Stephen Milne said these festive celebrations embodied the unique qualities of owning a Riviera luxury cruiser.

“The Riviera philosophy is all about bringing family and friends together and creating the ultimate boating experience and what a fantastic way to commemorate the year that was, than with a host of parties across the nation celebrating Riviera style,” Mr Milne said.
