Riverside Luxury Cruises and Jerne have announced a partnership to streamline the management of tour trips for travel advisors. The partnership aims to simplify the process of organizing hosted and self-guided river cruise experiences for hundreds of travel professionals.
The partnership will enable travel advisors to sign up for guided experiences on over 500 voyages on European rivers by December 2025. Advisors can use Jerne’s platform to create a business profile, search for suitable fam opportunities and manage the content they create during their trips.
“Our research of hundreds of top travel advisors shows that their priority is new product experiences that they can share with their top clients,” said Tim Morgan, CEO of Jahn. “By partnering with the great Riverside products, we’re able to give them exactly what they’re looking for to drive new sales for themselves and their agents.”

The program will prioritize travel advisors with annual sales of more than $1.5 million and provide them with priority access to FAM opportunities. This initiative follows Jerne’s recent acquisition of The 1000, a club of leading travel advisors with cumulative annual sales of more than $1 billion.
“Partnering with Jaan gives us an efficient and effective platform to manage the vetting, application process and marketing opportunities associated with onboarding travel advisors,” said Jen Halbos, CEO of Riverside Luxury Cruises. “Riverside values the integral role travel advisors play in providing unforgettable experiences for their clients and understands the importance of experiencing travel products firsthand. Travel advisors see the product and they sell it. We can’t wait for more travel advisors to share the amazing experiences they’ve seen with Riverside and recommend us.”
