Riviera River Cruises has unveiled new Cruise, Walk & Discover excursions that can be added on to select river cruise departures starting in fall 2019, with additional excursions being planned for 2020. The new excursions offer passengers a different perspective of the cities of Europe during guided active walks with local experts that follow paths and trails through forests, meadows and vineyards, along rivers, and up to scenic views, castles and ruins.

Marilyn Conroy, vice-president sales and marketing North America for Riviera River Cruises, noted that, “Our new walking excursions are the perfect addition for guests who want to be more active or experience a more natural setting during their European river cruise.”

Conroy noted, “As with our regular visits and tours, local experts will lead the way and share their knowledge, guiding guests through forests, up hills and along rivers to beautiful viewpoints and historical sites.”

The new Cruise, Walk & Discover excursions can be added on to three river cruise departures in fall 2019 which include:

• Medieval Germany, Sept. 26, departure: Three active walks in Wertheim, Würzburg and Bamberg. Cost is $39 per person.
• The Blue Danube, Oct. 14, departure: Three active walks in Esztergom, Dürnstein and Mondsee. Cost is $39 per person.
