The excursions mentioned in the program (including transportation and guide)
MS France:
2010 was the year when this gorgeous riverboat came back to life after 9 years of uninterrupted Seine cruises. The result is one that CroisiEurope has nothing but to be proud of. Each of the 78 cabins it is provided with, has large windows and a balanced furniture setting, which does nothing but to take its passengers to an instant state of calm and recreation. Last, but not least, the different tones of brown and green are completing this visual journey, contributing heavily to
MS La Boheme:
La Boheme, a magnificent work of art of CroisiEurope, has been built in 1995, but went through a complete transformation in 2011. The result is one outstanding sailing vessel, perfect for Danube and Rhine river cruises, which can host up to 162 passengers in its up to date interior decor. The 80 cabins, as well as the public areas, give an air of utter relaxation: the way in which wooden elements are combined with heavy touches of dark blue give an instant sensation of genuine serenity and quiet.
