New for 2007

CroisiEurope is marketing a new brand, CROISIMER, and launching a new boat in Croatia, the MS Belle de l’Adriatiqu

Having spent 30 successful years on the greatest rivers in Europe, CROISIEUROPE is diversifying its tourist business through an original concept:

Maritime and coastal cruises, marketed under the CROISIMER brand.

As of 2007, the “MS Belle de l’Adriatique” will be plying the waves of the sea of the same name, starting in Dubrovnik to explore the Dalmatian archipelago and its landscapes of rare beauty.
Eventually, CroisiEurope is planning a total of 3 boats in this region: a second in 2008 and a third in 2009.
Currently under construction at a shipyard near Namur in Belgium, this new vessel represents an investment of 30 M€.
This new generation of craft, designed to the standard of the CroisiEurope fleet, is adapted to the imperatives of maritime navigation and offers the same levels of comfort and service for which the company is known, with one or two additions. In particular, its shallow draught, which allows it to sail in areas where large cruise ships cannot go. An important detail for travellers looking for new destinations and routes.
To satisfy the growing requirements of passengers, improvements have been incorporated: new areas devoted to well-being and social activities: Swimming Pool, Gym, Internet Connection... It can accommodate 200 passengers and each of its 100 cabins will be on the outside of the boat with a breathtaking sea view.
The “MS Belle de l’Adriatique” will initially be stationed for departure from Dubrovnik in Croatia and will offer 8-day cruises as far as the Kotor estuary in Montenegro. To facilitate access at its point of origin, CroisiEurope will be setting up a charter connection from Paris, with a landing (or stopover) in a provincial city each week. The objective for 2007 is to accommodate 9,000 cruise passengers on this first vessel, at an average price of € 1,300 per person including flights.
In winter, the “MS Belle de l'Adriatique” will be stationed for departure from Tenerife in the Canaries and will offer an itinerary to the Moroccan coastline.
Through this new take on style, CroisiEurope is demonstrating its ability to develop and renew itself to offer a travel option which complements its core activity.
Cruise passengers faithful to the company who are still waiting for new destinations will be more than satisfied with this original new departure, which is opening up wonderful new perspectives on the Cruise horizon.
