CroisiEurope inaugurates 2015 fleet

In anticipation of its 2015 season, CroisiEurope is introducing three new ships to its fleet.

The MS Camargue was christened in Lyon on April 1, the MS Loire Princesse in Nantes on April 2, and the MS Gil Eanes will be inaugurated on Portugal’s Douro River on April 17.

The MS Camargue, a two-deck ship, can accommodate 104 passengers in 54 cabins. The MS Camargue will cruise from April to November on six to eight day trips out of Lyon, travelling through Macon, Vienne, Arles, Avignon, Viviers and Tournon. 

The MS Loire Princesse, also a two-deck vessel, offers a capacity of 96 passengers in 48 cabins, and uses paddlewheel propulsion, allowing it to cruise with a shallow draft. The MS Loire Princesse will cruise from April to November offering six- to eight-day trips passing through Nantes, Saint-Nazaire, Ancenis, Angers, the Châteaux of the Loire Valley, Saumur, Bouchemaine, and Ancenis. 

The MS Gil Eanes can accommodate 132 passengers in 66 cabins. It will cruise from April to November and will offer eight-day cruises leaving from Porto and visiting Regua, Vega de Teron, Ferradosa and Pinhao.

Looking ahead to its 2016 and 2017 seasons, CroisiEurope will introduce four more new ships:  the MS Elbe Princesse on the Elbe, the RV Princesse Apsara on the Mekong, and the barges Danièle and Déborah on the Canal de Briare and the Canal de Garonne.
