CroisiEurope is launching a program of 29 festive cruises in Europe to mark its 50th anniversary.

Guests can visit various destinations, from villages of Alsace and Paris to the Christmas markets in Prague, or experience Italian traditions and Advent celebrations in Venice and Padua.

In Provence, traditional santons (handcrafted nativity figurines) preserve a centuries-old craft, while Andalusia’s mild weather offers a break from the cold.

Ships along the canals in Strasbourg, Colmar, Ghent and Bruges feature festive decorations, with the Christmas markets just a short stroll away.

In addition to rivers, guests can experience Christmas at sea aboard the La Belle des Océans and La Belle De L’Adriatique, visiting destinations from the Canary Islands to the Amalfi Coast, with festive entertainment and fine dining onboard.

Cruises sailing during the Christmas period also feature a special Christmas Eve dinner accompanied by wines, together with a gift for every guest, the cruise line noted.

New for 2026 are festive sailings along the Seine, Elbe and Vltava aboard the brand’s paddlewheel ships.

To mark its 50th anniversary, CroisiEurope is offering savings of up to €500 per person on selected cruises lasting three to eight days, departing between late November and late December 2026.

Example itinerary:

Magical Christmas in Alsace – three days/two nights, departing December 23, 2026, featuring Christmas Eve celebrations onboard and Christmas Mass.

Starting from €460 per person instead of €575.
