Hmmm. I'm the first to review a Croisieres de France cruise, probably because it's French based and French speaking but read on....you might find something useful.

The in-laws are French so we went with them on this cruise starting and finishing in Marseilles. Booked in France through local travel agent but the Croisieres de France (CDF) website is www.cdfcroisieresdefrance.fr Officially, French is spoken onboard but special announcements (including lifeboat drill) are given in French and English. The ship's crew is made up of 37 different nationalities and they don't all speak French. In fact, the entire dining room staff (who were fantastic) were all from Mauritius and could speak English. Bear in mind though, that 99% of your fellow passengers will be French speakers so it may be awkward for you if you like to chat, make friends, share a dining room table etc.

The cruise was the 'Tutti Frutti' and - after a group discount because it was booked for 50 people - the price was 970 euros.

Cabin Review

Our cabin (6144) was on deck 6, towards the stern, and a fairly decent size. Double- bed was huge; plenty of lighting; window; plenty of cupboard and drawer space; a safe; en-suite was small shower and toilet but perfectly adequate. Our cleaner cleaned twice a day. We actually said to him not to bother with the second clean. He worked very hard and the cabin was spotless. Deck 7 was the restaurant/kitchens so we did hear a bit of vibration noise from trolleys above us but it wasn't too bad.
