YouTube Video Description↓

Join us as at 5PM GMT on the 30th of March where we will discuss our recent Riviera River Cruise! We sailed on the MS Jane Austin for a two night celebration cruise in Paris on the river Seine. This was our first River Cruise experience and we are looking forward to sharing this with you. We will answer any of your cruise and travel related questions live! We were invited by Riviera River cruises to celebrate their 40th Anniversary. Although invited onboard our opinions, as always, are our own. Riviera River Cruises is a company specialising in river cruises across Europe. They offer luxurious and immersive journeys along various rivers, including the Rhine, Danube, Douro, and Seine, among others. Riviera River Cruises provides intimate experiences with smaller ships, allowing for personalised service and access to lesser-known ports. Their cruises often include guided excursions to historical sites, cultural landmarks, and picturesque towns along the riverbanks. With a focus on comfort, cuisine, and enriching experiences, Riviera River Cruises caters to travellers seeking a blend of relaxation and exploration in scenic river settings. We are Tom and Dom and we experienced our first cruise on the MSC Virtuosa during her UK staycation cruises in 2021. We are relatively new to cruising, however we can now say we are officially hooked. Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available. Entertainment onboard a cruise ship is important to us and we enjoy theatre production shows, live music, quizzes and game shows. We love to explore different ports and destinations and enjoy sharing tips and tricks so that you can make the most of each port. We often explore ports independently but also book excursions that are interesting to us.
