MS Loire Princesse

The MS Loire Princesse, exclusively designed by CroisiEurope, is the first French ship to sail the Loire, the last “wild river” in France. Built in 2015 in Saint-Nazaire, it stands out for its side paddle wheels and shallow draft, allowing smooth navigation along the river.

The ship’s elegant interior blends burgundy, pearly, and copper tones, creating a royal atmosphere that perfectly complements a journey through the Loire châteaux. A central fireplace in the lounge pays tribute to the historic “inexplosibles” once seen on the Loire.

Spacious public areas feature large panoramic windows, and upper deck cabins come with private terraces and outdoor furniture. All meals are served in the main deck restaurant, while the upper deck lounge/bar offers music, dancing, and a cozy patio with beautiful views.

On the sun deck, guests can relax on deck chairs and loungers, and from the reception area, they can watch the paddle wheel mechanism in motion, a unique feature of this remarkable vessel.
