CroisiEurope has launched a 2022 programme that features more than 180 itineraries, including ocean cruises on its new ship and several river cruise sailings.

La Belle des Oceans will offer two itineraries in the Canary Islands and in Corsica.

The seven-night Canary Islands cruises will operate between Lanzarote and Tenerife from November 2021 to April 2022, while the seven-night Corsica cruises will depart between May and October 2022.

River cruise highlights include a four-night Romantic German Sites & The Charming Neckar Valley cruise from Strasbourg to Stuttgart; seven-night Prague, Dresden & The Castles of Bohemia cruise on the Elbe and Vltava rivers, and a five-night voyage roundtrip from Amsterdam to coincide with the Floriade Expo 2022.

A rescheduled Oberammergau cruise will run between Budapest and Munich in June 2022 and combine a five-night Danube sailing with two nights in Oberammergau and tickets for the 2020 Passion Play.

CroisiEurope will also operate a second ship in Africa. The RV Zimbabwean Dream will join its sister ship, the RV African Dream, for a four-day cruise on Lake Kariba, combined with a four-day stay in a luxury lodge near Chobe National Park.

The line has also included an early booking offer of 15 per cent off all 2022 itineraries when booked by 30 June 2021, as well as a selection offers to celebrate its 45^th anniversary, including a 45 per cent discount for the second person in a cabin on selected Bordeaux, Rhone, Loire, Seine, Venice and Croatia cruises, and cabin upgrades on select Canary Island ocean cruises.

CroisiEurope UK sales director John Fair said: “Our 2022 programme really does offer something for everyone, from perennial favourites on the Rhine, the Seine, the Danube and the Douro to more innovative itineraries on the Guadalquivir, the Vltava, the Po, the Garonne and on Lake Kariba in Southern Africa.

“Plus, with all meals and drinks included on most of our cruises, they offer fantastic value for money, which is more important than ever at this time.

“We are seeing huge interest in our 2022 itineraries so I would encourage consumers to book early to not only guarantee a place on the cruise of their choice but to save 15 per cent on the price of the cruise.”

CroisiEurope has worked with the Bureau Veritas organisation to implement new health and safety measures across the fleet.

Last year, river cruise expert Jeannine Williamson joined CroisiEurope for a cruise on the Garonne to see first-hand the Covid-19 protocols that have been put in place and find out what it is like to sail again in the current climate.
