Riviera River Cruises has announced the addition of eight newly-themed European river cruise itineraries for 2025.

And as always, you’ll enjoy luxurious accommodations, delicious meals, and a free drinks package aboard our ships.”

The 2025 departures are now on sale, with many being price-matched to 2024 departures through February 2024.
