Cruise operator, CroisiEurope has said that its proud to celebrate three sailing anniversaries in 2025: 30 years of cruising the Rhône, 25 years of travelling to Venice, and ten years of navigating the Loire River.
The operator welcomes nearly 200,000 passengers each year aboard its small-scale ships on rivers, seas and canals in Europe and around the world.
There are a number of sailings for groups to enjoy which mark the occasion, with special incentives available for bookings of 20 or more people. In some cases, group travel organisers can also private hire an entire ship.
30 years on the Rhône
For 30 years, CroisiEurope has navigated the Rhône; from Burgundy to Provence, each itinerary aims to highlight the diversity and beauty of these regions.
From the wild expanses of the Camargue to the Ardèche Gorges and the Vercors Massif, groups can explore lands steeped in art and history, visiting cities such as Arles, Avignon, Viviers, Lyon, and Vienne.
25 years of wonder in Venice
Did you know that CroisiEurope is the only operator authorised to sail into the heart of the Serenissima, just steps away from the Piazza San Marco? This opportunity allows groups to experience Venice from a different perspective.
Itineraries can include a tour of Padua, Saint Anthony’s homestead, wine tasting at the Venissa Vineyard or free time in the city to soak up the atmosphere.
10 years of sailing on the Loire
To celebrate ten years on the Loire, CroisiEurope has designed a new package aboard its paddlewheel ship, the MS Loire Princesse.
Sailing across multiple dates this year and in 2026, groups can discover the region’s famous castles, each steeped in history and charm, and be immersed in the landscapes of this UNESCO-listed area, where tradition and beauty come together.
Highlights include a guided tour of Nantes and the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, along with visits to see the Apocalypse Tapestry and the medieval village of Clisson.
