Issue No. 25

Who are CroisiEurope cruises for?
Though predominantly French and older
people on my cruise, there was a real mix of
guests - groups of friends, couples and
honeymooners. Kim and Jenny from
Australia threw themselves with gusto into
the whole thing. They danced every night
(there’s always dancing and music at night)
and took part in a dance competition plus
the crew show.
There were also guests from Malaysia,
Canada, America and the UK.
There are specific CroisiEurope cruises
which cater for families with stuff to do for
children, including kids clubs, and other tours
targeted at non-families (they’re clearly
marked on cruise listing details).
Cabin chic
I had a smart upper deck cabin with floor to
ceiling windows, a super comfy bed and
lovely bathroom with an invigorating shower.
Drifting down river, lying in bed with an early
morning cup of tea, watching the stunning
scenery pass by is one of the most relaxing
experiences I’ve had in a long time.
There are optional daily excursions. I did
three in three days and I could have done
more but I wanted time to chill out on board
too. Relaxing in the bright airy salon or on
the sun deck with a book was a great way to
unwind. We visited the wheel room, enjoyed
aperitifs and made new friends. It’s a real
blend of relaxing and exploring, eating great
French food and having a lot of fun.
