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,

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
