Small Ship Trips for Women
Gérard Schmitter founded CroisiEurope in 1976, and since then the company has become the leader and model for the European river cruise industry. CroisiEurope proposes intimate-sized cruises on canals, rivers and seas in Europe and around the world.
In 2023, more than 175,000 passengers were welcomed aboard its fleet of 50 ships.
Today’s success is navigated by Mr. Schmitter’s second- and third-generation heirs, who carry forth his values. Their goal is to offer “all-included” packages with impeccable service on reasonably scaled, top-comfort ships by providing a variety of cruises which continue to keep up with the times. CroisiEurope incorporates every aspect of our profession in order to share the French joie de vivre with our passengers.
Through our unique market position, CroisiEurope is the only company diverse enough to propose cruises on European and worldwide rivers and canals, as well as the seas. Our ever-growing number of customers appreciate our boutique-style ships—from just 16 passengers on board the RV African Dream and the RV Zimbabwean Dream, to 22 on our canal barges, and up to 197 passengers on the MV La Belle de l’Adriatique.
