What Rivers Does CroisiEurope Cruise On?
CroisiEurope operates on more waterways than any other river cruise company in the world over 40 rivers, canals, and coastal routes across six continents. For Australian travellers, understanding the full range is the first step to choosing the right cruise. Here is the complete guide.
Europe The Core Fleet
Danube (51 itineraries)
Europe's second-longest river runs 2,860 km through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Ukraine. CroisiEurope's Danube itineraries range from the classic Passau Budapest (taking in the UNESCO Wachau Valley, Vienna, and Bratislava) to extended voyages reaching the Danube Delta on the Black Sea. The Danube is CroisiEurope's most-booked river.
Rhine (52 itineraries)
The Rhine flows 1,230 km from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea, passing through Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The UNESCO-listed Middle Rhine Gorge 65 km of sheer cliffs, 40+ medieval castles, and vine terraces is the most visually dramatic stretch of any navigable European river. CroisiEurope's Rhine itineraries range from short cruises through the Gorge to full Amsterdam Basel transits.
Seine (28 itineraries)
Paris's river. CroisiEurope's Seine cruises moor in central Paris within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, then sail downstream through Normandy Giverny, Rouen, Les Andelys, and Honfleur. The Seine is the most 'French' of all river cruise experiences.
Douro (20 itineraries)
Portugal's port wine river UNESCO World Heritage Valley, steeply terraced vineyards, and the extraordinary Atlantic port city of Porto. CroisiEurope's Douro itineraries run from Porto to Barca d'Alva on the Spanish border, with excursions to Salamanca.
Rhône & Saône (multiple itineraries)
Southern France Lyon (world capital of gastronomy), Provence, Avignon, the Roman cities of Orange and Arles. The Rhône and Saône rivers meet at Lyon, making this the ideal cruise for French food and wine culture.
Moselle (combined with Rhine)
The Rhine's principal tributary Germany's finest Riesling wine country, castle-topped meanders, and the extraordinary terraced vineyards above Cochem and Bernkastel-Kues.
Elbe
Dresden, Meissen porcelain country, the Saxon Switzerland National Park (extraordinary sandstone formations), and Prague accessible by excursion. A less-visited but scenically spectacular German river.
Main
The Main links the Rhine and Danube via the Main-Danube Canal enabling the Grand European voyages that run from Amsterdam to Budapest. The Franconian wine region (Würzburg's Residence Palace, a UNESCO site) is a highlight.
French Canals Burgundy, Alsace, Champagne, Provence, Midi
CroisiEurope operates an extensive fleet of canal barges (22 passengers maximum) on France's inland waterway network. The Burgundy Canal, the Marne-Rhine Canal (through Alsace), the Canal du Midi, the Nivernais, and the Garonne Canal represent France's greatest slow-travel routes.
