11 Days Lyon, Provençal Rhône & the Camargue River Cruise - MS Lord Byron

MS Lord Byron

With a maximum of around 140 guests, it doesn’t take long before you start recognising faces, finding your favourite seat, and settling into the rhythm of life on the river.

Recently refurbished, the ship’s interior combines classic character with refreshed, comfortable spaces, including a welcoming lounge and bar where conversation flows as easily as the scenery outside. For a quiet moment of relaxation, there’s a small spa and wellness area and, up on the Sun Deck, a mix of seating and a small splash pool make it an easy place to sit back and watch the French countryside glide by.

Food and drink are very much part of the experience. Alongside the main restaurant, La Brasserie offers informal dining, inspired by French cuisine, from lighter dishes to regional flavours – all included, and best enjoyed with a local glass of wine.

A small number of bicycles are available on board – please ask reception for details.
