MS Gil Eanes

Overview

Named after the famous Portuguese navigator, Gil Eanes is a Premium three-deck ship specially designed for the river Douro in Portugal. Launched in 2015, this elegant-designed ship with a bright, modern feel has ample space throughout for passenger comfort with splendid panoramic windows. Its elegant taupe, bronze, and white interior tones combine perfectly with the blue shades and these conjure up the Portuguese tile designs and colours.

The upper and middle deck cabins have French balconies. These decks share four suites. Two suites on the upper deck come with sun loungers. The large windows on the main deck provide great views from the privacy of your cabin. All meals during the cruise are served in the cozy dining room on the main deck. All onboard fun, music, and dancing happen in the lounge and bar on the middle deck bow. An outdoor area is found near the bow. The sun deck has a pool for cooling off and sun loungers to relax while catching some rays.

Accommodation

Upon boarding, you will be welcomed by the crew who will help you settle into your cabin. The advantage of cruising is that you will only unpack your suitcase once before you let yourself go to relax and travel!

Gratuities

Tipping habits vary according to the country and culture. At CroisiEurope, tips are collected globally at the end of the trip and shared equally among all the crew members.

This attention from our passengers allows us to show that they have appreciated the quality of the services and the attention that was given to them during the cruise, at all levels.

How much should I leave? A tip of between £5 and £10 per day and per person is an average, but each passenger is free to give what he or she wishes. An envelope is left in your cabin during your last evening on board. Put it in the box provided for this purpose at the ship's reception desk when you disembark.

Entertainment

All onboard fun, music, and dancing happen in the lounge and bar on the middle deck bow. An outdoor area is found near the bow. The sun deck has a pool for cooling off and sun loungers to relax while catching some rays.

Lounge Bar with Dancefloor

The lounge tastefully decorated, is located at the front of the ship and offers panoramic views. Cocktails and games, dancing, and other forms of entertainment all happen here.

Sun Deck

Take advantage of the sun deck to relax! It is equipped with chairs and deckchairs, allowing you to cool off while enjoying a panoramic view of the magnificent landscapes.

Reception Desk

Perfect place to meet with friends before excursions or to ask any information you may need to the staff. The Gift Shop is also located here, you'll find a wide assortment of souvenirs, CroisiEurope products and post cards.

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.

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.
