Riviera Travel has confirmed its extending its collaboration with Water-to-Go – a UK-based filtration company.
With the partnership, guests will continue to have access to a more sustainable way to drink clean water.
Water-to-Go creates refillable bottles that filter out up to 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, chemicals and other harmful contaminants from any non-saltwater source.
This means guests on Riviera’s river cruises and tours, which have now fully-resumed, can use the bottle to safely drink from any tap, shower, wash-basin, stream or river.
The company said in a statement that this is without any risk to their health – wherever they are in the world.
The bottles also reduce the need for single-use plastics on Riviera’s holidays across Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, where tap water may not be safe for tourists to drink.
The two sizes of filters purify 130 to 200 litres and can replace up to 400 single-use water bottles.
The filters are 100% recyclable and detachable, meaning the bottle can simply be used on its own when filled with treated drinking water.
Riviera and Water-to-Go originally teamed up in late 2019, before the pandemic curtailed their activities.
Lucy Goodman from Riviera Travel said: “We’re pleased to continue our partnership with Water-to-Go, as the impressive technology behind their filters will ensure our guests have access to clean water, no matter where they travel to.
“As a result, we will significantly reduce the number of single-use plastics used on our holidays. Guests can stay topped up, while their environmental footprint goes down.”
Dave Shanks, Water-to-Go CEO, said: “Riviera’s core ethos is the same as ours, with the demand for responsible and sustainable practice running right through everything they do.
“Our refillable, reusable and recyclable bottles are ideal to stay hydrated, save money and significantly reduce the impact of single use plastic on the environment.”
Riviera guests receive a 15% discount when purchasing a Riviera branded Water-to-Go bottle, which are available from £17.
All profits from Riviera sales will be donated to a Toilet Twinning charity, which helps to bring education around safe and sanitary toilet facilities to families and communities across the globe.
