need spring 2026 dates please

While the spring dates for 2026 are not currently available, we expect them to be updated around mid-2025. This gives you plenty of time to explore all the amazing options we have for 2025 in the meantime!

Is this fee for a cabin with a window or a balcony? Does the fee include wine or beer at lunch and dinner? Does the tour include the cost of transport to see the castles? How3 much extra are gratuities?

On all cruises, we provide free beverages with every meal, as well as from the bar at any time it is open - this includes mineral water, fruit juice, soft drinks, tea, coffee, house wine and beer. Standard cocktails (ex. gin tonic) are also included. For CroisiEurope the typically amount to tip for the crew on board would be 5-7 Euros per guest per day, they will leave an envelope in your cabin on the last day of the cruise.

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
