Burgundy, the River Rhône and Provence Cruise Review

“Our Burgundy, the River Rhône and Provence River Cruise was absolutely incredible! It was a journey filled with history, culture, and some of the most delicious food I’ve ever tasted. We loved seeing the Popes’ Palace in Avignon, which was unlike anything we’ve ever seen, as well as the visit to the monumental Ardèche Gorges. The ship itself was also marvellous and provided on every front from cuisine to service. Our cabin was also delightful and very comfortable, we almost didn’t want to leave! 10/10 will be booking with Riviera Travel again.”
