Riviera Travel river ship MS Lord Byron is set to resume sailings in 2022 after this year’s departures were cancelled.
An eight-day Burgundy, River Rhone and Provence river itinerary in the south of France, originally due to operate this year, will run next summer.
Sailings by the 140-passenger ship have gone back on sale for 15 cruises from April to October next year.
The itinerary includes seven visits and tours, including Lyon, Arles, Avignon and Vienne; wine tasting in Beaune; and excursions to the Ardèche Gorges, Popes’ Palace and the Pont du Gard.
Prices start at £1,569 per person, including return flights and transfers, with a low £250pp deposit available. The cruise starts in Lyon and concludes in Avignon.
MS Lord Byron comprises 74 cabins and suites, a sun deck, 24-hour self-service station for tea and coffee, a splash pool, putting green plus a wellness area with sauna, steam room and hairdressing salon.
Head of cruise and worldwide product Katja Hildebrandt said: “We’re delighted to confirm to the trade that their customers once again have the opportunity to set sail on the stunning Lord Byron. It’s a five-star ship that will visit five-star destinations across the south of France.”
