Speaking at an event in London, chief commercial operator Robin Shaw said: “Some of our customers have told us that seven-night cruises aren’t long enough while 14-night trips are too long, so we have created these new 10-night itineraries to meet their demand.
“These new tours give guests the opportunity to go further and deeper into the destinations.”
Katja Hildebrandt, Riviera’s head of product river and ocean cruise, said: “It’s very exciting to be introducing these new 10-night river cruise sailings.
“The additional time they offer on board will allow guests to experience and explore an incredible range of eye-catching destinations, such as Versailles, the Rhine Gorge and Schwetzingen Palace Gardens.
