Ship Highlights

River Cruise Experience

An advantage of taking a river cruise on MS Douce France is that you will be able to experience much more than you would on a land tour of Europe. You will be able to visit smaller and more quaint ports than you could on an ocean cruise. You will also be able to visit multiple ports in one day and take advantage of much later departure times from port cities. You can take all the time you want throughout the day to explore every European town along the river. This allows ample time to get the full experience of each city along your itinerary. A river vessel that travels overnights translates to more port time for every guest, meaning that you can truly immerse yourself in a world of culture and explore everything that the European waterways has to offer while sailing aboard MS Douce France. The best part is that you get to travel while you sleep!

When you’re not busy immersing yourself in the Rhine River region’s rich culture by exploring the land or trying your hands at local activities and customs onshore, you can relax in the lounge-bar, soak up some sunshine atop the sundeck or take a stroll through the giftshop. There is also onboard Wi-Fi for your convenience.

Authentic French Cuisine

MS Douce France’s immersion in local culture does not end with the river. CroisiEurope is known for having some of the best authentic French cuisine aboard all of their river vessels and MS Douce France is no different. The expert chefs are skillfully trained in French cuisine and work hard every day to bring you the finest food prepared with the freshest local ingredients. You will experience classic French dishes, matched perfectly with hand-picked bottles of red and white wines, that will leave you coming back for more. Each menu is carefully selected and designed by Alain Bohn, CroisiEurope's head chef who was recently nominated as a member of the Maitres Cuisiniers de France.

Cultural Highlights

These in-depth experiences are included as an essential part of discovering more about the places through which you cruise, and each activity is planned specifically to illuminate each itinerary. Some cultural highlights that you can experience while aboard MS Douce France may include:
