CROISIEUROPE’S NEW ROUTES IN 2019

Established for over 35 years, French family-run CroisiEurope operates more than 50 ships. As Europe’s largest river cruise company they have unveiled additional itineraries for 2019, adding to their existing 170 sailings on 39 waterways in 37 countries. CroisiEurope will be introducing a new coastal cruise along the Adriatic on board the Belle de l'Adriatique. Highlights of this new programme include excursions in Albania to sites such as Apollonia, the country's largest archaeological site; a visit to the ancient ruins of Butrint; and city tours of Albania's capital Tirana as well as the old town of Gjirokastër, one of three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country.

Guests on Belle de L’Adriatique will also be able to discover the hidden treasures of the island of Corfu, Ulysses’ last stop before his return to Ithaca; and the Palace of Achilleion, which was built by the Empress Sissi. They can explore Montenegro and the ancient city of Bar - with its towers, city gates, gun-powder room, Prince's Palace and Bishop's Palace.

CroisiEurope is also adding new itineraries for 2019 on European rivers and canals, new theme cruises, new destinations for biking and hiking cruises, and a new premium ship on the Douro. In addition, the company will continue to offer several unique itineraries, including river cruises on the Seine, Garonne, Dordogne, Rhône, Loire, Guadiana, Guadalquivir, Po, Douro, Rhine, Danube, Elbe, Mekong and Lake Kariba in Southern Africa, as well ocean cruises in the Adriatic and Mediterranean.

CroisiEurope immerses cruisers in each destination on their itinerary, helping them to experience the culture of each region in utter comfort. Small ships dock right in the thick of the action, meaning passengers can explore each port city and town in-depth. If you're booking a CroisiEurope cruise, you should be seeking a European experience, enjoy French cuisine and the pleasure of fine dining paired with good wine. An understanding of French would help but you can easily get by without as all essential communications are made in English.
