Frequently Asked Questions
101.4 m long by 10.60 m wide, over 2 decks. She is shorter than the usual CroisiEurope 110 m, which lets her work the Seine upstream of Paris as far as Melun and Saint-Mammès.
81 passengers with 25 crew. Against her length that is 0.80 guests per metre: the lowest in CroisiEurope's European river fleet, hotel barges aside. The MS Botticelli, on the same Seine, carries 145 passengers on 110 m.
CroisiEurope publishes neither the cabin count nor cabin size for this boat. Several resale sites show figures; none cites the operator. Our advisors obtain the official deck plan before placing a group or an accessible cabin.
Her paddle-wheel propulsion, an architecture CroisiEurope reserves for shallow-draught rivers and which no other of its Seine boats shares. And her build year, 2018, the most recent among the boats we have documented.
From Raymond-Émile Waydelich, a Strasbourg artist born in 1938 whose best-known body of work is titled Lydia Jacob Story. CroisiEurope does not state what the initials L.J. in the boat's name stand for, and we will not invent it.
Four programmes from Paris. Small treasures of the Seine in 6 days upstream. The history of France, Paris to Normandy, in 8 days via Rouen and Caudebec-en-Caux. The Seine of the kings of France in 8 or 10 days, the longer version adding Reims. And the Paris Christmas markets in 4 days.
Paris is served non-stop from Montreal-Trudeau, on the busiest transatlantic route out of Quebec. This is the easiest CroisiEurope programme to reach: no connection, no domestic transfer, embarkation in Paris itself.
The upper deck if the budget allows, because the boat has no lift and the public rooms are up there. CroisiEurope describes category C as standard or slightly smaller. Since the size is not published, ask for the deck plan before choosing.
No. CroisiEurope fits lifts to its three-level boats; this one has two decks. A main deck guest will take the stairs for every meal and every evening. For reduced mobility, rule this boat out.
A restaurant, a lounge bar and a sun deck. There is no pool, no spa, no gym and no laundry service. CroisiEurope publishes little architectural detail for this boat and we will not describe rooms the operator does not describe.
The lack of published cabin information, which makes it hard to compare before booking. The stairs, on a boat with no lift. And on a Paris programme, the fact that excursions are not included when they make up most of the content.
Full board, drinks with meals and at the bar, Wi-Fi, port taxes and onboard entertainment. Shore excursions, gratuities, the premium wine list and transfers are not included.
Drinks with meals and at the bar are included, and so is Wi-Fi. Gratuities are not: they remain at the guest's discretion and are given at the end of the cruise, following a per-person per-day recommendation CroisiEurope publishes in its terms of sale.
You can, though nothing is designed for them: no kids club, no pool, no youth programming. The 4-day Paris Christmas markets cruise is the best fit for a family, because the city supplies what the boat does not.
Almost never. The Seine is calm inland water and the boat stays between two banks from start to finish. This is exactly the format that suits a traveller whom swell has put off ocean cruising.
