FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Riviera River Cruises’ MS Lord Byron began the 2024 season having undergone a refurbishment of its public areas and cabins, as well as a full renovation of its stern restaurant. Built in 2013, the ship sails on France’s Rhône River. New furniture was added to the ship’s lounge, restaurants and cabins, and new carpeting was installed throughout. The stern restaurant received a fresh design and new décor to go along with a menu that borrows from bistros and brasseries along the Rhône, including classic and contemporary French dishes.
