In Transit Blog: A New Cruise on the Loire

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 20 Maret 2014 | 17.35

Europe's booming river cruise industry has set its sights on the Loire in France, where the M.S. Loire Princesse, the first riverboat with overnight cabins to cruise this river, will launch next year.

Though the Loire's shallow waters have kept larger vessels from being able to navigate the river, CroisiEurope recently unveiled plans to build a sleek new paddle-wheel boat, which requires less draft, to circumvent the issue. It will be the first paddle-wheel to join the company's fleet of almost 40 riverboats.

The 300-foot, three-deck cruiser is to feature a contemporary, ecologically friendly design, with space to accommodate almost 100 passengers, along with a full-size dance floor, lounge, restaurant and balconied cabins.

The company also plans to outfit the ship with amenities like Wi-Fi and individually operated heating and air-conditioning units in each cabin.

"CroisiEurope has been in business for almost 40 years and is constantly trying to innovate new itineraries to add to its repertoire," Michel Grimm, the company's international sales director, said in an email.

And though it did have to meet many new technical and environmental requirements, the company was compelled to build a vessel that could operate in the Loire overnight in order to make the region's specific "cultural experiences" available to its clients, he added.

The ship's six- to eight-day cruises will travel the Pays de la Loire region of France beginning in April 2015, making stops in the communes of Ancenis, Saumur and Bouchemaine, as well as the cities of Angers and Nantes, to visit historic chateaus and Unesco World Heritage sites.
