Riviera River Cruises’ 2022 Holiday Season Cruises Now Available

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – With December 2022 departures of Riviera River Cruises’ popular holiday season cruises now available, plan ahead to celebrate Europe’s Rhine and Danube Rivers in all their wintry splendor. Riviera’s holiday season cruises include Yuletide Markets itineraries that depart in the weeks before Christmas, departures over Christmas itself with the ship decked in lush garlands and a grandiose tree, and celebratory sailings to ring in the New Year. In all, six itineraries with 20 departures are available to book. For more information about Riviera River Cruises, call 888-838-8820 or visit https://www.rivierarivercruises.com.

 

“We offer a wonderful variety of festive cruises for the holidays to help guests celebrate before, during and after Christmas,” said Marilyn Conroy, Riviera River Cruises’ Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing North America. “Get into the spirit of the season by visiting some of Europe’s best yuletide markets, wake up Christmas morning with a tree and other trimmings on board, or raise a glass alongside other passengers and toast the arrival of 2023. With 2022 departures now on sale, it’s even possible to give someone special in your life the gift of a European river cruise for next year.”

 

Riviera’s Rhine River holiday cruises pass through the dramatic Rhine Gorge in Germany, where the swifter current sweeps between narrowing valley sides that tower above. Rüdesheim’s market stalls glow with hundreds of fairy lights, the Christmas bakery in Koblenz serves its famous stollen and the Cologne Cathedral market features the largest tree in the Rhineland.

 

Danube River holiday cruises navigate the mountainous Danube Bend in Hungary and continue on to Slovakia and Austria. Budapest’s markets are filled with the smells of spiced gingerbread and peppery goulash, artisan decorations are available in Bratislava and the windows of Vienna’s city hall are transformed into a giant Advent calendar.
