CroisiEurope is shaking up the autumn travel scene with its brand-new November Cruise Escapes collection for 2026 and 2027
These exclusive departures are designed specifically for the quieter travel season, inviting guests to discover Europe’s famous rivers from a completely fresh perspective.
CroisiEurope’s Lucas Schmitter said, “These cruises have been specially created to showcase the beauty of the off-season through exclusive excursions, authentic cultural encounters and enriching onboard experiences that are not available on our regular departures.”
Far more than just stretching out the standard cruising calendar, these late-autumn escapes come packed with tailor-made entertainment. Guests can unleash their inner chef with onboard culinary demonstrations; expect to learn the secrets behind assembling a Black Forest cake, prepping traditional Alsatian Spätzle, or perfecting Normandy’s famous Tarte Tatin!
When the sun goes down, the fun continues with exclusive themed evenings. The programme brings regional culture to life with Bavarian nights, open-air dances, authentic Lyonnais bouchon-inspired entertainment, and even Celtic folklore celebrations on the Loire.
Select itineraries offer some truly exceptional included excursions, such as a complimentary dinner at the famed Abbaye de Collonges – Paul Bocuse, or a discovery tour of Amsterdam’s canals and the Rijksmuseum.
The collection features nine thoughtfully crafted itineraries sailing along the Rhine and French waterways. All prices cover the cruise, all meals and drinks, Wi-Fi, port fees, and repatriation insurance.
