FORT LAUDERDALE — Demand for longer cruises is on the rise, says Riviera River Cruises, which is why it’s offering ‘back-to-back’ itineraries in 2025.
Lasting from 15-29 days, the five itineraries allow guests to experience two Riviera cruises combined into one without changing ships, taking in the sights along Europe’s Rhine, Moselle and Danube Rivers.
“An increasing number of travelers has been asking us about longer cruises, with some even booking two in a row – we’ve taken the cue from them and created these new ‘back-to-back’ itineraries for 2025,” said Marilyn Conroy, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing North America for Riviera River Cruises. “These itineraries allow travelers to enjoy cruising Europe with us from two weeks to nearly a month without having to change ships. We’re also adding to our popular solo traveler collection with three new itineraries, including two that visit Christmas markets.”
