CroisiEurope has unveiled its 2027 cruise program, with a new ship on the Amazon, an expanded European season and new itineraries spanning destinations from the Aegean Sea to southern Africa.
The brand will offer more than 170 river, canal and ocean itineraries aboard 50 ships in 38 countries, including new cruises, expanded programs and themed sailings.
The 2027 program also includes CroisiEurope’s existing river, ocean and hotel barge cruises, as well as Christmas and New Year sailings and itineraries in destinations outside Europe.
CroisiEurope is offering a 15 percent early-booking discount on 2027 river, ocean and hotel barge cruises, excluding Nile and Ganges itineraries, for bookings made by September 30, 2026.
The biggest addition is the 32-passenger RV Brasilian Dream, which will debut on the Amazon in January 2027. The four-deck ship will feature 16 suites with private balconies, including two presidential suites suspended between the ship’s upper decks. Onboard amenities will include a Brazilian-inspired restaurant, spa, fitness room, sun deck and conference room.
The ship will operate three 10-night Amazon itineraries, with routes exploring areas including Jaú National Park, the Anavilhanas archipelago, the Tapajós and Arapiuns rivers and the remote regions near the borders of Brazil, Colombia and Peru.
The cruises will emphasize wildlife and the Amazon’s biodiversity, with excursions ranging from forest explorations and sunrise boat trips to encounters with indigenous and artisanal communities. Depending on the itinerary, guests may see pink dolphins, caimans, monkeys, tropical birds and other wildlife.
CroisiEurope is also adding several new itineraries in Europe in 2027. One new cruise will explore the Vltava River from Prague, focusing on the city’s historic palaces, libraries and art. Another will travel between Budapest and Tiszafüred, with stops in Pécs, Novi Sad and Szeged and a visit to Hungary’s Hortobágy National Park.
In the Aegean, a new seven-night cruise from Athens will visit islands including Santorini, Milos, Rhodes, Amorgos and Syros. The line is also introducing a nine-night itinerary combining the Danube, Sava River and Lake Balaton, with hotel stays in Zagreb and Balatonfüred.
CroisiEurope is adding some themed sailings, too. A new seven-night cruise along Spain’s Guadalquivir River will coincide with a partial solar eclipse and a meteor shower in July 2027, with calls including Seville, Córdoba, Cádiz and Granada.
The company will also offer several cruises timed around the Rouen Armada, a major maritime gathering featuring tall ships from around the world. New Christmas Market sailings will operate on the Seine and Elbe, while a new November Cruise Escapes collection will focus on quieter late-season travel along rivers including the Rhine, Rhône, Loire, Seine and Gironde.
Several existing extended itineraries are being expanded as well. CroisiEurope’s Zambezi River safari cruise will grow to 10 nights, adding additional safari and lodge time, while its Cairo and Nile program will include an extra day in Cairo, giving guests more time to visit sites including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum.
