Articles
CroisiEurope inaugurated 3 new ships in AprilOn April 1st in Lyon, the MS Camargue has been christened on the Rhône. The ship's godmother is Sylviane Christinat, our Swiss representative, and the godfathers are Mr. Gilbert Bouchet, Senator-Mayor of Tain-l'Hermitage and Mr. Jean-Pierre Michel from Voyages Michel. Designed and decorated in the same spirit at the MS Lafayette (launched in 2014), this new, upscale, two-deck ship can accommodate 104 passengers in 54 cabins. The vessel has ample space and a contemporary layout, highlighting CroisiEurope's attention to elegance. The MS Camargue will cruise from April to November on six to eight day trips out of Lyon, travelling through Macon, Vienne, Arles, Avignon, Viviers and Tournon. On April 2nd in Nantes, the MS Loire Princesse has been christened on the Loire. The ship's godmothers are Ms. Johanna Rolland, Mayor of Nantes and Ms. Charlotte Britz, Mayor of Sarrebrucken. Its godfather is Mr. Laurent Castaing, General Manager of STX St. Nazaire. Two guests of honor were presents: Mr. Jean Verne, Jules Verne's great grandson and Mr. Daniel Richou of Richou Voyages. A prototype designed at the STX worksite in Saint-Nazaire, this vessel uses paddlewheel propulsion, allowing it to cruise with a shallow draft. Through its innovative construction, this new two-deck vessel offers a capacity of 96 passengers in 48 cabins and opens up a new horizon in river cruising. Also decorated with contemporary flair, this state-of-the art ship is another jewel in the company's crown. The MS Loire Princesse will cruise from April to November and will offer six to eight day trips passing through Nantes, Saint-Nazaire, Ancenis, Angers, the Châteaux of the Loire Valley, Saumur, Bouchemaine, and Ancenis. On April 17th in Vila Nova de Gaia (Portugal), the MS Gil Eanes has been christened on the Douro. The ship's godmother is Isabel Morais, Wine and Tourism Manager at Sogrape, and the godfather is Eduardo Vitor Rodrigues, Mayor of Vila Nova de Gaia. The MS Gil Eanes joins the three other CroisiEurope ships - the MS Infante D. Henrique, the MS Fernao De Magalhaes and the MS Vasco De Gama - on the popular Douro and can accommodate 132 passengers in 66 cabins. Between April and October, this contemporary three-deck ship will sail eight-day- cruises round-trip from Porto visiting Regua, Vega de Teron, Ferradosa and Pinhao.
Ragusa and Modica
Trips
Ragusa and ModicaWe’ll leave from Pozzalo Harbor for Regusa, where you’ll discover two cities in one: modern Regusa rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake and ancient Hybla Heraia. The city’s architectural gem is the Duomo of San Giorgio, a mid-18th-century cathedral with a magnificent neoclassical dome and stained-glass windows. The town’s public park, the Giardino Ibleo, is a great place to stroll. We’ll then head to Modica. Rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake, Modica is now a lively and dynamic city with over-sized churches and steep stairs running from the bottom of the village to the top of the slope. The city is built around a junction of steep valleys, with the oldest part of town, Modica Alta (“Upper Modica”) on a ridge and Modica Bassa (“Lower Modica”) along the valley floor. It is particularly famous for its chocolate, but that is not what certified it as one of the area’s UNESCO-listed baroque towns. PLEASE NOTE The order of the visits can change. Times are approximate.

Valletta
Trips
VallettaWe’ll leave on foot for a guided tour of the capital city of Malta. The city was built stone-by-stone by and for the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem. We’ll join the Upper Barrakka Gardens using the famously unique and convenient lift found at the waterfront. From there, you’ll be able to take in the breathtaking panoramic view across the waters and cityscape. As we walk along the lively city streets, we’ll visit some of the main sites, including Saint John's Co-Cathedral, which still houses Caravaggio’s masterpiece work The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist—the only piece of art he ever signed. PLEASE NOTE The order of the visits can change. Times are approximate.
Day trip to Gozo
Trips
Day trip to GozoLeaving Valletta, we’ll head to Cirkewwa where we’ll catch a ferry for Gozo. Although it is part of Malta, this island is more rural and is known for its scenic hills. We’ll arrive in Mgarr Harbor and head towards Xaghra, home to the Ggantija megalithic temples. These two giant temples are the oldest of the temples of Malta, and date back to between 3600-2500 BCE, making them older than both Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt. We’ll then visit the laid-back city of Victoria—also known as Rabat to the locals—and its gorgeous cathedral (exteriors only) dominating the view on the hill. We’ll enjoy lunch during our excursion. After, we’ll discover remains of the Azure Window, a 92-foot (28 m) limestone natural arch that collapsed completely in March 2017, as well as the bay of Xlendi. We’ll return to the large island of Malta by ferry. PLEASE NOTE The order of the visits can change. Times are approximate.
