MS Loire Princesse

Overview

The design of this ship is exclusive to CroisiEurope since it is the first French ship to sail on the Loire, the last "wild river" in France. Built in 2015 in Saint-Nazaire, its specificity lies in its side paddle wheels and shallow-draft. The noble burgundy and pearly colors mingle with copper elements, which give a prestigious

character to the interior decoration. A “royal” atmosphere to discover the Loire châteaux from the water. A nod to the famous “inexplosibles” that once crisscrossed the Loire: a large fireplace is located in the middle of the lounge.

The welcoming public spaces have large window areas and the cabins on the upper deck have terraces with outdoor furniture. All meals during the cruise are served in the restaurant on the main deck. Onboard fun, music and dancing happen in the lounge / bar on the upper deck, where a cozy patio also provides great landscape

views. The sun deck has deck chairs and sun loungers ideal for relaxing. In the reception area you can admire the mechanism of the paddle wheels during navigation.

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 only "floating" hotel structures of its type in France, CroisiEurope reigns supreme over the kitchens on its boats. In charge of the company's Chefs, Alain Bohn manages and designs his cuisine and specific menus in the pure tradition of French cooking with his passionate kitchen teams. From time to time, CroisiEurope joins forces with a number of renowned Chefs such as Paul Bocuse, Marc Haeberlin or Emile Jung to organise gastronomic cruises full of taste and flavour.

Dining aboard a CroisiEurope cruise is always a pleasure. Food is taken seriously and it shows. You'll soon become firm friends with your waiter and you'll quickly come to admire the choices made by world-renowned sommelier, Serge Dubs.
