CroisiEurope is an international river cruise company that operates a fleet of 50 river cruising vessels along the rivers of Europe, Russia, Mekong, Birmania, Africa, South America and United States.  Now, CroisiEurope is gearing up for their African debut with the planned christening of the new African Dream expected to come at the end of 2017 and the first cruise departure tentatively scheduled for early January 2018.  Rather than waiting to sail, CroisiEurope is encouraging cruise travelers to sail more in 2017 by introducing a number of new itineraries that still have space available.
