| CroisiEurope into Asia

MAJOR European river cruise operator
CroisiEurope is the latest river cruise firm to
expand into Indochina, with a new Mekong
cruise program launching this week.
The company is operating the Asian program
under the brand CroisiVoyages to distinguish
its operations outside of Europe, which are set
to also include new cruise ventures in Africa,
India and Russia.
CroisiVoyages has chartered the RV
Indochine, a four star 24 ensuite cabin vessel in
French Colonial Style which was constructed
specifically for the Mekong in 2008 with a low
superstructure and comparatively shallow
draft, allowing it to sail under low bridges.
CroisiVoyages will operate a series of voyages
between Ho Chi Minh City and Angkor, with
itineraries starting at A$2125 for an eight night
cruise plus two nights First Class hotel
accommodation in Siem Reap and all meals,
including complimentary beer and soft drinks.
Unlike cruise vessels operated by some other
companies, the construction of the vessel
allows RV Indochine to fit under a low bridge
south of Saigon which sees it sail right into the
city through the Chao Gao canal which is a
highlight of the cruise.
CroisiEurope is represented in Australia by
Cruise Abroad – more info 1300 669 369.
