This elegant premier ship sails on the Seine, a historic and authentic river with breathtaking views. This ship was built in 1999 and completely renovated in 2018; the MS Renoir measures 110m long and 11.40m wide and can accommodate 105 passengers in 54 cabins on 2 decks.
The cabins provide guests with all the comforts they need during their stay. Enjoy the comforts of home onboard with Croisi Europe. Cosy, tastefully decorated cabins greet passengers like a home from home. After dinner and entertainment, retire to your private cabin in comfort for the night. All have en-suite with shower and toiletries. Headsets are also provided in your cabins for excursions.
Located on the upper deck is the restaurant, where all meals are served during the cruise. It offers a delicate cuisine in a refined setting, where large windows allow guests to fully enjoy the views. Also on the upper deck is the lounge, bar and dance floor. This is where your cabaret show will take place on one night and dancing on another.
On the sun deck there are comfortable sun lounges and a large shaded area (weather permitting of course).
The Paris by night cruise (for reasons of navigational safety, the captain and crew of the boat alone may decide to modify the cruise itinerary. This cruise is subject to tidal influences and arrival times at the ports of call may be modified.)
Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Depart Local Area
Leaving your local area, the journey starts with your morning ferry from Dover to Calais. A meal voucher will be given to you for use on board for a main meal and drink. Making your way from Calais, you travel through France with comfort stops, to arrive at your floating hotel in Paris. Time to settle in on the MS Renoir before dinner.
Day 2: Paris Guided Tour
After a buffet breakfast you have a panoramic guided tour of Paris by coach. You will discover the renowned sights and attractions of this magnificent city. (Approx 2.5 hours) Return back to the boat for lunch. This afternoon you are free to explore Paris on your own. Try out the Metro, buses or walk, whichever you desire. This evening is Gala night and dinner. Depending on the water level of the river, you may also cruise to the business district of La Defense in the evening. You will then return to the previous quay in Paris.
Day 3: Paris - The Old Montmartre
This morning after breakfast is another half day guided tour of the old Montmartre. (Approx 3.5 hours) Located at the very heart of a 19th Century village, the Sacre-Coeur Basilica has remained one of the favourite models for all-time painters, sculptors and poets alike. Check out the artist square; see many artists working on their paintings, drawings and even doing caricatures of people. Visit the Sacre-Coeur; see the beautiful views from the top of Montmartre over Paris. After the tour, you will return back to the boat to enjoy lunch. This afternoon you have more free time to explore. The boat will be docked a short walk from the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadero gardens, with the Invalides just a little further away. It is easy to visit Paris at your leisure. This evening you will cruise by night (depending on the water level) floating through the beautiful illuminated city, particularly attractive when viewed from the vantage point on the Seine.
Day 4: Return Home
After an early breakfast we depart the MS Renoir and make our way once again back through France to Dunkirk for our afternoon ferry to Dover. A meal voucher will be given to you for use on board for a main meal and drink. We will have comfort stops en- route to Dunkirk. Arrival time back in our local area should be mid evening.
