African dream

Built in 2018, the RV African Dream is one of the gems of the CroisiEurope fleet with a magnificent setting for a dream safari-cruise in Southern Africa, overflowing with history and wildlife. A real cocoon of charm and elegance.

Capacity 16psgr
Cabins 8

There are only 8 cabins onboard The African Dream - 8 cabins, including 2 cabins with balconies

Of all cabins, 6 are with a French balcony and 2 with a small private terrace, offering amenities and providing guests with all the comforts they need during their stay. The spacious areas and large windows give the ship a bright appearance. The interior is decorated with noble wood and local fabrics and blends in perfectly with the spendid surrounding landscapes.

Amenities

  • Safe
  • Air-conditioning
  • 220V voltage and adapters for most countries
  • Screen connected to a DVD player with films available
  • Hairdryer
  • Welcome basket
  • Lounge chairs and exterior sofas
  • Binoculars can be loaned (limited availability)
  • CABIN FOR TRIPLE USE ON BOARD THE AFRICAN DREAM - If two adults and one child are sharing one cabin, the spare bed will measure 150cm x 80cm (59 in. x 31 in.).

Onboard is a panoramic lounge and restaurant providing an ideal view of the surrounding landscapes in addition to top-notch gastronomy.

At CroisiEurope, the day begins with a continental breakfast buffet, rich and varied: pastries, cereals, coffee, tea, fruit juice, a wide selection of breads, jams, cold meats, eggs, fresh fruits and yogurts.

Lunch and dinner are served at fixed times in one service. They offer a complete menu (starter - main course - dessert) composed by our chefs. They pay homage to French gastronomy and can satisfy the palates of our international clientele. The surprise is always there with finishing touches, and local flavors conducive to a culinary immersion in the visited country of the itinerary.

Produced daily on the spot, using mainly fresh products, they are accompanied by a selection of wines chosen for their quality and their compatibility with the dishes, and are included in the price of the cruise (except wines from the specific wine list).

On board programmes are offered which provide guests with understanding of their destinations, from lectures and demonstrations to special themed dinners. 

Many activities and entertainment are offered on board – and we encourage our guests to join in on the fun.

Before dinner, games and quizzes are hosted by our entertainers in the lounge bar.

On the sun deck, you can stroll alone, be with family or friends, sit comfortably in the sun loungers, or enjoy a drink while enjoying the passing landscapes. Want to keep fit? Gymnastics sessions are organized in the morning, and you can jog or walk the riverbanks during free time in port.

On some of our boats, in Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Mekong and Africa, the sun deck has a swimming pool.

The panoramic lounge bar, the library and the "pianorama-bar" (the latter 2 are available on some boats only), are refined and furnished with taste. It is nice place to spend quiet moments after returning from excursions for example.

Often, lectures on subjects related to the history and geography of the places visited, are offered in the lounge bar.

Some evenings, the dance floor of the lounge comes to life. Musical evenings, folk groups or singers, variety shows where the crew members reveal their hidden talents, are all chances to let loose after a day of touring! And don’t forget the Gala evening – a farewell to your new friends. There’s no lack of fun to have on board, or memories to take with you!

Mini and junior-clubs: Children can enjoy on-board entertainment (water games, sports and manual activities), they can take part in an end of cruise show given to parents and grandparents and many other surprises
