For its 25th anniversary, Rivages du Monde offers from October 19 to 30, 2026, an unprecedented musical cruise on the Danube, from Bucharest to Munich, aboard the elegant M/S Amadeus Silver II.

The 84 cabins (including 12 junior suites) of this refined floating hotel, served by an elevator and spread over three decks, all provide a distinctly contemporary atmosphere with an outward-facing feel.

The ship’s public areas are also open to the river. Several lounges, a library, a hairdressing and massage service (for an extra fee) and a shop complete the offering. While breakfast is served as a buffet, lunch and dinner are served à la carte in the panoramic dining room.

On board, Wi‑Fi is free.


An Exceptional Program

Thought of as a tribute to culture, music and European heritage, the itinerary will allow visits to the Danube’s most beautiful capitals: Bucharest, Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, and also Belgrade thanks to a surprise stop in Serbia. Each of these cities, with their palaces, historic cafes and musical traditions, tells the continent’s soul.

Guests will also enjoy a nocturnal cruise through illuminated Budapest and a folklore show in Bulgaria.

For this anniversary cruise, four internationally renowned artists — the mezzo-soprano Delphine Haidan, the pianist Laure Favre-Kahn, the French clarinetist Pierre Génisson and the pianist and conductor Bruno Fontaine — will perform, in the evenings, two concerts.

The first will be a musical journey through the heart of Europe. The second will offer a musical crossing between Europe and America, from Mahler and Strauss’s grand Viennese frescoes to jazz and Broadway lights.

Since its inception in 2001, Alain Souleille, Rivages du Monde, has cultivated a vision of travel where culture, encounters and discovery take precedence over speed.

A quarter of a century later, this anniversary cruise continues to reflect that mindset and to offer an authentic experience.

Air Caraïbes Celebrates 25 Years of Travel With Its Customers

CroisiEurope


This year, Air Caraïbes marks its 25 years of existence: a quarter-century of history and growth dedicated to connecting mainland France, the Antilles, French Guiana, and the Caribbean. Since its creation, the airline has achieved a highly symbolic milestone by carrying 30 million passengers, equal to about 30 times the combined population of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Martin, and French Guiana.

This success is, above all, the story of a family-owned entrepreneurial venture. Air Caraïbes arose from the takeover and restructuring of struggling regional Antillean carriers led by Jean-Paul Dubreuil. Today, the group is chaired by his son, Paul-Henri Dubreuil.

The company distinguished itself by becoming the first French carrier to operate the Airbus A350 XWB. It will continue on this momentum starting October 15, becoming the first to operate flights to Saint-Martin Juliana in the A350-900.

In terms of network, the airline currently serves nine destinations from Paris-Orly. It maintains a dense schedule with up to 120 long-haul flights and around 190 regional flights per week. To support this activity, Air Caraïbes relies on a fleet of 13 aircraft (including seven latest-generation Airbus A350 XWB) and the commitment of more than 1,200 employees.

A major contest to thank travelers

To celebrate this anniversary, Air Caraïbes has launched a major prize draw titled “30 Million Thanks!”. The campaign, which begins this Tuesday, June 2, 2026, will run until June 11, 2026.

Completely free and with no purchase requirement, the contest is accessible directly on the airline’s website.

It is open to residents of Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Saint Martin, and mainland France. Up for grabs for participants: 10 round-trip tickets to be won on the airline’s transatlantic network.
