About the Classic class
CroisiEurope's traditional European hull. Smaller cabins than the German fleets, a French-language onboard culture, French wines and meals, and the lowest mainstream price points on the European rivers.
The Classic hull is operated by 2 operators in the river-cruise market. Across the class, 18 vessels have been delivered, the first in 1987 and the most recent in 2004. Each ship in the list below has its own profile page with deck plan, cabin categories and current itineraries.
