CroisiEurope set to launch first Africa river cruise
River cruise specialist CroisiEurope launches its first Africa programme on December 5.
The all-inclusive nine-day safari cruise will be on a new ship, the RV African Dream, with a maximum of 32 passengers.
It will include a four-day cruise on the Chobe and Zambezi rivers followed by a stay at a luxury lodge and will end with a visit to Victoria Falls.
The new ship will have eight suites, six with French balconies and two with larger terraces.
Guests will also have use of a lounge bar, panoramic restaurant, small pool and a rooftop terrace.
Unlike most CroisiEurope cruises, where there is no choice at mealtimes, there will be a choice of three options.
The cruise will also include mini safaris in jeeps and smaller boats, led by expert local guides, and a visit to a nearby village.
The lodge, which has been bought and completely renovated by the cruise line, is on Impalia Island.
Prices lead in at £3,900 per person, including internal flights and transfers but not including international flights.
Customers can also add on a three-day pre-cruise programme in Cape Town, with a visit to Robben Island, a wine estate and the Cape of Good Hope.
A second ship, RV African Dream II, is due to be launched at the end of 2018. It will operate a cruise only itinerary.
