What currency is quoted for the tour? I see your agency operates from Toronto, but it's not posted as to Canadian, US., or Euros.

CroisiEurope is an European family owned cruise line, and their prices are based in euros, but in our platform we covert it to the local currency of our travellers, in this case we will quote you in Canadian dollars.

I wanna check availability on a balcony stateroom on the Loire Cruise for the month of July, August and September. Please send me prices and availability.

I would like a free quote for the departure on Tuesday, 9 Aug 2022 for 2 travellers. I would like to request a quote for balcony cabin availability for the Loire cruise 10 days for the month of July or August or September

The tour was very good in general, but there is VERY LITTLE cruising on this Loire River Cruise package. The Loire is navigable for only a short stretch, and most of the 'cruise' takes place on coaches or with the boat moored in Nantes. Quite frustrating, and rather deceiving on its advertisement. Life on board is excellent, the Croisi Europe crew is very good, but I would not recommend this specific (Loire River) cruise to any friend. Their cruise on the Rhone River is much better and a true cruising experience.Show more
