Riviera Travel (formerly Riviera River Cruises) is offering a new Seine holiday cruise in 2026, plus three new culinary-focused itineraries.
The Magical Paris & Festive Seine River Cruise will take passengers on a five-day trip on the Jane Austen round trip from Paris. From there, guests will soak up the Christmas magic while visiting historic country estates and French chateaux. Itinerary highlights include a private organ concert at Vernon Cathedral and exploring Christmas markets in Paris.
Riviera also is debuting three "Gastronomy of" cruises on the Danube, Rhine and Seine.
The Danube cruise will take passengers on an eight-day journey through Hungary, Slovakia and Austria, where they will enjoy 15 land experiences. Travelers will enjoy apple strudel at Schonbrunn Palace and sample the wines of the Wachau Valley. The cruise will operate between April and October 2026.
The Gastronomy of the Rhine & Moselle itinerary cruises through Germany, where guests will indulge in tastings at Bernkastel and Rudesheim and the Koblenz Wine and Sparkling Wine Museum. Those with a sweet tooth will likely enjoy an excursion to the Lindt Chocolate Museum. Departure dates are scheduled between April and August 2026.
The Seine cruise will take travelers to Normandy and feature macaron tastings in Paris, wine and cheese pairings at Bizy Chateau, and a tarte Tatin cooking demonstration on the ship. Sailings are slated from April through October 2026.
