Valentine's Day is approaching... How about surprising your loved one this year with a future getaway along the world's most beautiful rivers? At CroisiEurope, every cruise is an invitation to share unique moments, far from the stress of everyday life, aboard intimate boats.
We have put together a selection of five of our most romantic destinations. Whether you are looking for a classic romantic adventure or something more unusual, we are sure we have the perfect getaway to create unforgettable memories for two.
At CroisiEurope, we offer a variety of experiences along the Seine.
Whether you choose a short city break in Paris, the capital of love, or a longer, history-filled journey that takes you to Rouen and Normandy, the Seine has many facets to delight both the curious and the leisurely traveler.
Most cruises begin in Paris, giving you the chance to explore the capital's iconic landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Sacré-Cœur, and Notre-Dame de Paris, which has recently reopened to visitors. This legendary cathedral has inspired countless artists and writers over the centuries, from Victor Hugo to Pablo Picasso and Edith Piaf. For a truly magical experience, enjoy a cruise along the river at sunset, when the City of Light is at its most enchanting, a moment suspended in time that only a river cruise can offer.
Beyond Paris, our itineraries take you to Rouen, with its medieval quarter and connections to Joan of Arc, and to Honfleur, renowned for its charming port and vibrant art scene. Nature and art lovers will also cherish a visit to Giverny, home to Claude Monet’s gardens, where you can immerse yourself in the Impressionist world that inspired his most famous works. For those wishing to extend their journey, we offer cruises to the landing beaches of Normandy, a region rich in history, where memory, stunning seascapes, and quaint coastal villages come together.
These stops offer a unique combination of history, romance, and a relaxed way of life, perfect for couples who appreciate art, history, and French gastronomy.
Venice is the ultimate romantic city. Step into a timeless world where narrow streets, elegant bridges, and picturesque canals create a unique and intimate atmosphere. Aboard the MS Michelangelo, accommodating up to 152 passengers only, you will discover La Serenissima from every angle, combining culture, a relaxed way of life, and moments to share together.
From the sun deck, admire the colourful palaces reflected in the water and leave the tourist crowds behind. Explore the nearby islands: Burano, with its brightly painted houses, and Murano, famous for its blown glass, offer perfect opportunities for strolling hand in hand.
In Venice itself, every walk becomes a magical experience: get lost in the winding streets, cross charming little bridges, watch the sunset from the Grand Canal, or enjoy a coffee in a quiet square. The city truly seems made for lovers.
During the summer, take advantage of an exceptional half-board program, allowing you to explore local specialties at your own pace in the lagoon’s trattorias or enjoy a dinner on board while moored just minutes from St. Mark’s Square.
Venice is a top destination for couples. Every moment spent on its canals or wandering its streets offers a unique and unforgettable experience, where the magic of the city blends perfectly with your shared moments.
If you are seeking fairytale landscapes and old-world charm, a cruise on the Rhine is a must! As you travel through the most charming towns of Alsace and Germany, discover majestic castles, terraced vineyards, and medieval villages scattered along the river.
Romance awaits at every bend. Strasbourg, with its picturesque Petite France district, romantic canals, and traditional half-timbered houses, invites leisurely strolls. Be sure to climb to the top of its majestic cathedral, where stunning stained-glass windows and the iconic rose window captivate both art and history lovers.
Other iconic cities await you: Koblenz, where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet; Cochem, with its castle perched above the valley; and Rüdesheim, famous for its vineyards and local wine tastings. Each stop offers the chance to wander cobbled streets, sample regional specialties, and enjoy breathtaking river views.

The Mekong can be explored in two ways, depending on the type of journey you are seeking. In addition to classic itineraries, we offer a more immersive and exclusive "Adventure" program aboard the RV Toum Tiou II, designed for travelers looking for authenticity, encounters, and off-the-beaten-track exploration. This program offers a closer, more intense, and deeply human way to discover the Mekong.
There are a thousand ways to say "I love you", and some of the most memorable happen on the water.
Sailing, slowing down, contemplating, sharing… Whether in the heart of romantic cities, sun-drenched wine valleys, or amid untamed nature, every cruise becomes a story to be written together.
This year, let yourself be carried along the river… and by your emotions.
