Why Choose CroisiEurope Cruises?
Terrific Values and Safety Standards
CroisiEurope provides some of the best value per dollar of any river cruise line in Europe. From ship design and construction to sales and marketing, everything done is in-house and with the expertise that has made CroisiEurope one of the best in the industry. They are independent in every aspect of their operation, which means that all those cost savings get passed on to you.
Largest River Cruise Fleet in Europe
CroisiEurope's fleet is 50 ships strong with five chartered vessels and still growing. This means that when traveling, there are multiple ship options in every destination. Explore the various riverside city sites of France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Belgium where you can enrich your knowledge of local history, food, wine and culture while floating along the blue and beautiful European rivers that provide you with a smooth ride during the day and a sparkling sight during the night.
With a staff of over 1,300 people (some of whom can speak both English and other European languages) that are attentive, professional and knowledgeable, you can rest assured that your journey on a CroisiEurope river cruise will be as comfortable and as exciting as possible.
Although CroisiEurope is the largest river cruise line in Europe, they pride themselves on being an independent, family-owned company that understands the principles of “small and friendly.” When sailing on a CroisiEurope river cruise, you can always be sure that your experience will be warm and personal. Each vessel has a capacity of 100 to 180 people, making for a very intimate and private voyage while still providing the amenities of a large ship. Every voyage begins with a welcome reception where you can enjoy a cocktail while mingling with other guests as well as the ship’s captain, crew and staff. 
Excellent Culinary Experiences
On other cruise lines, you’ll find some great dining options. On a CroisiEurope river cruise, you’ll get to experience having your very own French and European restaurant where you can experience the culinary expertise of the French for yourself. Expert chefs (including head chef Alain Bohnhas, a member of Maîtres Cuisiniers de France) who have worked alongside Michelin-starred greats such as Paul Bocuse and Marc Haeberlin will take the freshest local ingredients and transform them into delicious dishes for every meal of your trip. You will start your day off with a grand self-serve buffet breakfast where you can sample freshly-baked pastries and breads, rich fruit spreads, juicy sausages, fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt or a variety of cold cuts accompanied by a hot cup of coffee or tea (or juice, if you prefer).
When you return for lunch and dinner, let the crew and staff serve you as you sit and converse with new friends (CroisiEurope makes an effort to seat passengers who can speak the same language(s) together). You will select a three-course meal that the chefs have spent the day preparing from the freshest and finest local ingredients. Every meal is derived from a local specialty and is paired with a wine that compliments it best.
On certain sailings, most beverages are complimentary, allowing you to enjoy a nice glass of fresh French countryside wine, a refreshing mineral water or a glass of sweet fruit juice with dinner without the worry of cost. After dinner, you can relax in the comfort of your cabin where you can enjoy the sights of the river in private or enjoy the satellite TV and radio. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can relax in a recliner on the sundeck if you want a panoramic view of the scenery or take part in a pre-dinner game or dinner dance. Certain ships also have an onboard library where you can relax in silence and take yourself away further with a great book.

What's New for CroisiEurope?
CroisiEurope is currently working toward designing a system that will reduce the amount of on board water consumption. They are also using reusable packaging whenever possible to reduce waste even further.
In April 2016, CroisiEurope christened its newest ship, the paddle wheeler Elbe Princess. At 311-feet long with an 80-passenger capacity, the ship's decidedly European design exudes an informal warmth and personality embodying the French love of life. Guests will have a selection of two types of cabins onboard: French balconies on Deck 2,or large picture windows on the lower deck, including one accessible cabin. Beds in all rooms have been positioned to face the windows, and amenities include drop-down, flat-panel televisions. Following the launch of Elbe Princess, CroisiEurope has hinted at the addition of a third paddle wheel ship in the works for 2018.
CroisiEurope lanced one of its newest vessel concept, designed especially in mind for cruising the longest river in France, the Loire: MS Loire Princesse, the first cabin accommodating cruise vessel to debut on the river. Nicknamed the "Green Ship", her design was created with ecological consciousness in mind. MS Loire Princesse launched in April 2015, offering 6 to 8 days cruises.
March 2014 saw the inauguration of CroisiEurope's MS Lafayette. Designed in an inviting and modern style, the ship's forty-two spacious cabins feature floor-to-ceiling picture windows and are well stocked with amenities to make your stay comfortable, such as a wide-screen TV and mini bar. MS Lafayette's itinerary expands CroisiEurope's reach along the Rhine, as well as adding exclusive excursions to locations like Mainau Island and the Black Forest. Alongside the MS Lafayette, the MS Anne-Marie and MS Madeleine were also christened.
CroisiEurope introduced new ships to the rivers of Europe in 2013, and is doing the same during 2014. New vessels include MS Cyrano de Bergerac and MS La Boheme sailing the Garonne and Rhine, respectively. Other new builds include MS Jeanine and MS Raymonde, sailing the smaller canals of France.
