Narrative:
Shortly after reaching cruise altitude the right engine displayed indication of high vibration. We followed the checklist procedure; which resulted in operating the engine at a reduced power setting to keep the vibration within limits. We [advised] center and got clearance to return to ZZZ. We landed uneventfully; however the aircraft was overweight. We then taxied to the gate and entered the engine problem and overweight landing in the maintenance logbook.I think the event was well handled by all - the pilots; flight attendants; ATC; dispatch; airport personnel; and maintenance.
