All exciting adventures start with a not so exhilarating experience: packing! It can be nerve wracking and stressful as you always want to pack too much. Here is a list of tips to help you turn this daunting task into a greatest start of your vacation. 

You may have already had the opportunity to experience the comfort of CroisiEurope’s ships as you explored the river and canals of Europe. However, did you know that you can discover the beauty of our world beyond Europe’s boundaries? The mv La Belle des Océans will take you to the awe-inspiring fine white sandy beaches of Thailand; to the United Arab Emirate’s unparalleled skyscrapers nestled in the middle of the desert; to the marvels of Jordan’s Rose City, Petra; along the footpath of Egypt’s Pharaohs and to the colourful and intriguing temples of India and Sri Lanka. 

Very few travellers may have heard of Norway’s Lofoten Islands, and yet they are one of the Nordic country’s most incredible natural gems. What do you picture when you hear “Norway”? Do you immediately depict steep mountains rising out of the ocean overlooking seemingly endless fjords and tiny red wooden fishermen’s shelters nestled in the midst of all that natural beauty? Then you have to experience the Lofoten Islands! Because that’s exactly what you will be admiring there!
