Gratuities

Gratuities are at the discretion of passengers.
Tipping practices vary widely between countries and cultures. At CroisiEurope, tips are distributed equally among all crew members. This gesture from our passengers reflects their appreciation for the quality of service and attention they have received throughout their cruise, at every level.

How much should I tip?
A tip of €5 to €10 per person per day is a common guideline, but each passenger is, of course, free to give any amount they feel appropriate.

For your convenience, an envelope will be placed in your cabin on your final evening aboard. You can leave it in the designated box at the reception desk when you disembark.

This information applies to river and sea cruises operated by vessels in the CroisiEurope fleet.

Enrichment

We offer an optional excursion program to enrich each itinerary. These are carefully selected, accessible to all, as close as possible to the cultures and traditions of the world. Choose between the “Classic” excursions which highlight the must-sees of the destination, combining culture, architecture and history, and the “Discovery” excursions which offer unusual tours, tastings of local products, helicopter tours and so much more! We now offer the possibility to make your own selection of excursions by mixing and matching "Classic" and "Dicovery" excursions for tailor-made packages!

Excursions

We offer on all our cruises numerous and surprising excursions. You may prefer to stay aboard our cruise ships and enjoy the tranquillity, but we have an extensive range of excursions we offer that are great ways to discover each country in detail. (All excursions are optional)

Always with the help of our guides, you will visit tremendous cities, picturesque landscapes, and great activities with our bike rides, scenic tours, tastings, whole days visits or evenings out to appreciate the cities by night.

To offer you the best experience, we offer classic or discovery excursion packages, the latter offering atypical tours, original themes or even helicopter flights.

Below, and by destination, take a look at the sumptuous tours you could do during your cruise in the most beautiful countries in the world, be that in Europe or beyond.

Perhaps the most beautiful country in the world, France, with its tremendous landscapes breathtaking and varied, a mosaic of vibrant cultures and traditions. Each of the many regions of France seems to own its own culture, its own customs, if not even a unique dialect. Unsurprisingly, centuries of fascinating history abound and France is the country with the largest UNESCO World Heritage sites in the world today.

Also, this is the country of origin of CroisiEurope. We stride to retrace the course of its most beautiful rivers, with many stories to tell of its rich heritage. Cruise up the Seine, you will see Paris, the famous City of Lights before discovering the sumptuous Côte Fleurie in Normandy. It is a journey between poetry and natural beauty to experience in the tranquillity and comfort of our ships. Many visits will allow you to discover the cities and regions. Follow our guide in the winding streets of Rouen, discover the monuments and secret of Paris or spend an unforgettable stay in Honfleur.

If you choose to venture on the Rhone, it's a journey to the doors of Provence that looms. Our excursions will take you from the ancient city of Lyon to the wild and unspoilt Camargue, passing through Avignon, the legendary city of the Popes, and Arles, lined with art and history.

Along the Loire, a royal river with an exceptional heritage, you will see the sumptuous Loire chateaux, bordering the river with their unequalled panache. You will have the chance to visit several of these masterpieces with incredible architecture to discover the detail of their design. A cruise in the Loire Valley welcomes all the lovers of culture and heritage.

Finally, the Gironde will take you to the heart of its infinite vineyards, holders of the secrets of Bordeaux wine. Follow the Wine Route or fly over the region by helicopter and stroll among the world's famous named wines. Not forgetting a stop at Saint-Emilion, that our guides will be delighted to show you around the region and taste the greatest local wines.

Dining

The fine French gastronomy on board is an asset of our company. The meals are created by our head chef, Alain Bohn, member of the esteemed French association Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, which includes only 250 chefs from all over the world, and the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs since 2013. With his team of chefs, he creates each of the menus in the pure tradition of French gastronomy while bringing out the local tastes and flavours of the regions and countries crossed. Our wines are selected to accompany each of your meals. We adapt our menus for people with allergies or who are following a specific diet.

Restaurant

Located on the upper deck, the restaurant is where all meals are served during your cruise. It seats all guests at tables which vary in size with a panoramic view. The atmosphere is casual but elegant.
