CroisiEurope has launched its new November Cruise Escapes collection, a series of river cruises operating in November 2026 and 2027. Operating during the off-season travel period, the sailings feature itineraries across Europe’s rivers.
“November offers a completely different way to travel,” says CroisiEurope’s Lucas Schmitter. “These cruises have been specially created to showcase the beauty of the off-season through exclusive excursions, authentic cultural encounters and enriching onboard experiences that are not available on our regular departures.”
The November Cruise Escapes include culinary demonstrations featuring Black Forest cake, Alsatian Spätzle, Provençal tapenade and anchovy paste, and Normandy’s Tarte Tatin.
The cruises also include Bavarian-themed events, open-air dance performances, Gypsy music, Lyonnais entertainment, and Celtic folklore on the Loire. Other activities include presentations on Provençal lavender, Alsatian traditions, and the Dutch Golden Age, along with tastings of Beaujolais and Saint-Émilion wines, charcuterie, cheeses, Pommeau de Normandie, and Montélimar nougat. Select departures include a dinner at the Abbaye de Collonges Paul Bocuse, an excursion to the Loire Valley châteaux, and tours of Amsterdam’s canals and the Rijksmuseum.
