Why History Lovers Must Visit Berlin: Cruising On The MS Victor Hugo
If you're a history enthusiast, there's no better way to experience Berlin than aboard the MS Victor Hugo. From the moment you step on board, you will find yourself surrounded by kindred spirits of fellow travelers who share a deep love for the past. These are guests who arrive early for every excursion, cameras at the ready, notebooks open, eager to capture every detail. Their passion is as infectious as it is inspiring.
Unlike other cruises, where cultural immersion and scenic landscapes steal the show, this Berlin cruise offers something different: an unfiltered dive into history. From Cold War remnants to Prussian grandeur and wartime relics, Berlin is a living museum. And on this route, history isn’t just told, it’s felt, seen, and explored up close.
From the dramatic cliffs of the Cape Peninsula to the thunderous roar of Victoria Falls, this extraordinary Southern Africa safari cruise takes you deep into the wild heart of the continent. Winding along the Chobe River, this journey blends luxury and adventure for an unforgettable experience across some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes.
Prepare to be amazed.
This is not your typical cruise. Curated by experts and crafted for discerning travelers, this voyage invites you to explore a breathtaking tapestry of natural wonders, from lush national parks teeming with wildlife to serene riverbanks where elephants gather at dusk.
Travel in absolute comfort while discovering the crown jewels of Southern Africa. Each stop reveals another awe-inspiring destination, from the Cape of Good Hope’s windswept beauty to the awe-inspiring spray of Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
Exploring Europe is best done on foot, and few cities reward walkers as much as Prague. Known as the “City of a Hundred Spires,” Prague offers a timeless blend of Gothic cathedrals, cobblestone lanes, and majestic bridges. It’s one of Central Europe’s most enchanting capitals and a must-stop on any Elbe River cruise.
During a recent journey from Berlin to Prague by river, I had the chance to rediscover this historic gem. The city has undergone a remarkable transformation since the Velvet Revolution of 1989—a peaceful movement that led to the end of Communist rule in former Czechoslovakia. By 1993, the country had split peacefully into two independent nations: the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Solo travel is gaining popularity across the globe, appealing to adventurers of all ages. Yet for many first-timers, the idea of exploring the world alone can feel overwhelming. That’s where CroisiEurope steps in.
With years of experience in European river cruises and small ship voyages, CroisiEurope makes solo cruising simple and stress-free. From curated excursions to full-board comfort, everything is designed to remove the usual worries of solo travel, so you can focus on what matters most: discovery, connection, and peace of mind.
At CroisiEurope, we believe nature is our greatest treasure. For decades, this belief has shaped our approach to river cruising and driven us to protect the ecosystems we explore.
As one of the pioneers in sustainable river tourism, our environmental commitment goes well beyond compliance. We continuously seek new, effective ways to reduce our ecological footprint—because for us, sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s a responsibility.
One key example of this is our recent transition to GTL (Gas-to-Liquid) fuel. In collaboration with AS Energy, we successfully conducted trials on the Seine River. The results were clear: GTL fuel burns cleaner and more evenly, significantly reducing emissions compared to traditional marine fuels. This change marks a major step in reducing air pollution along our waterways.
With travel themed around "Tourism for Green Investments", we invite you to explore how CroisiEurope continues to lead the way in sustainable tourism. For years, we’ve integrated environmental responsibility into every level of our operations—from the eco-design of our river cruise ships to our company-wide initiatives that prioritize energy efficiency, waste reduction, and green innovation.
This commitment isn’t new—it’s part of who we are. Whether you're sailing down the Rhine or exploring the Danube, you'll find that sustainability and comfort go hand in hand on every CroisiEurope journey.
