Italian regions and Oberammergau among CroisiEurope's new itineraries

The cruise line’s 56 ships will sail 39 waterways next year offering passengers an extensive list of voyages. Some of the waterways it will journey along include the Seine, Rhone, Moselle, Loire and the Mekong, as well as on the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas.
