For decades, river cruising has revolved around Europe’s grand classics.

Danube, Rhine, Seine, Douro… So many itineraries that have become staples for travelers drawn to the proximity of cities, the richness of heritage, and the comfort of serene navigation.

But as the market matures, a new trend has asserted itself in recent years: the most loyal travelers now look far beyond the Old Continent.


“Customers typically begin with the big classics, like the Douro or the Danube. Once these routes are completed, they seek new rivers, new cultures, and new experiences,” summarizes Alain Souleille, president of Rivages du Monde.



A new ship on the Mekong for Rivages du Monde

An evolution that perfectly illustrates the industry’s transformation: today, nearly 90% of Rivages du Monde’s activity is devoted to river cruising.

To meet this demand, the specialist continues expanding into destinations that are still off the beaten path, such as the Congo.

From autumn 2026, a new ship built in Vietnam, the Romance, will begin service on the Mekong.

More spacious, featuring large panoramic windows, a spa, and solar panels, it caters to guests who now seek both comfort and immersion.

“Rivers are living arteries that allow you to venture into regions that are otherwise hard to access, crossroads of cultures, wildlife, and unique ecosystems. The landscapes vary from port to port, with cities, communities, and villages along the banks sharing immense cultural wealth. Often, the boat is simply the best way to discover these regions,” explains Lionel Rabiet, president of Voyages d’Exception.


Voyages d’Exception’s favorites for India and China

Beyond Europe, the head of the company and its marketing director Mathieu Ramus often cite the Brahmaputra in the Indian state of Assam. “It is one of Asia’s mightiest rivers. It traverses an India that few travelers know, weaving through tea gardens, traditional villages, and national parks home to one-horned rhinoceroses, elephants, and Bengal tigers.”

For Lionel Rabiet, it is a route designed “for travelers who wish to discover an authentic, still relatively unexplored India.”

In India, still, the operator notes that the backwaters of Kerala offer an immersion into a calmer India along the waterways, where daily life continues to revolve around water. This itinerary is notably undertaken aboard the RV Kochi Pandaw, an intimate ten-cabin vessel.

Further east, the Yangtze lets travelers traverse imperial China amid landscapes that the road cannot reveal.


The Amazon as CroisiEurope’s new exploration frontier

Another favorite is the Tapajós, a tributary of the Amazon. “White-sand beaches, waters of a deep blue… a Caribbean-like paradise in the heart of the Amazon, distant from the clichés of green hell,” describes Lionel Rabiet, who sees it as one of the continent’s most pristine and least explored regions.

This diversification has also become a strategic axis for CroisiEurope. After navigating the Nile, the Ganges, the Mekong, and Southern Africa, the company is now preparing its entry into the Amazon.

In 2027, the Brasilian Dream will enter service, a new Brazil-built vessel offering three itineraries on the Amazon, the Rio Negro, and the Tapajós, with the aim of revealing a more intimate Amazon near local communities and biodiversity.

Far-flung destinations are already a cornerstone of its international portfolio.

In Southern Africa, CroisiEurope combines navigation on the Zambezi and Lake Kariba with overland safaris to Victoria Falls. On the Mekong, between Vietnam and Cambodia, the company focuses on immersion in Southeast Asia—among stilt villages, floating markets, Khmer temples, and rice paddies.

Non-Conforming Accommodation: Were Travelers Allowed to Leave the Hotel? [ABO]

by

CroisiEurope


A holidaymaker turned to Mediation after two consecutive stays in Tunisia booked through the same tour operator, claiming to have suffered shortcomings in the organization and the accommodation. He was notably seeking the full refund of the second trip as well as damages.

The first stay, scheduled in Djerba in the summer of 2025, had already given rise to an accommodation difficulty from the first night due to the unavailability of the originally planned room.

An out-of-court agreement had then been reached between the parties, providing for financial compensation used to finance a second stay.

This second trip, organized in Mahdia a few days later, was in turn marred by non-conformity : the booked lodging (a superior quadruple bungalow) was not available in the form advertised on arrival.

On site, several alternatives were offered by the hotel and its partners, including separate bungalows or closely spaced double rooms, then a complete family solution at a later time.

These proposals were refused by the travelers, who left the establishment before the end of the stay and requested a total refund of the services, as well as additional compensation.



What the texts say:

On the legal front, the professional’s strict liability is engaged in cases of non-performance or poor performance of the services of a tour package (Article L. 211-16 of the Tourism Code).

The Tourism Code, however, provides that the professional may partially exempt itself from liability when it offers replacement solutions that are comparable to remedy the non-conformity.

In this case, the Mediation notes that the on-site lodging solutions reflected a willingness to rectify on the part of the providers. If they did not exactly match the initially booked service, they cannot be considered clearly insufficient in view of the circumstances.


What the Tourism and Travel Mediation recommends:

The rejection of these alternatives and the guests’ early departure therefore does not allow placing all the financial consequences of the interrupted stay solely on the professional.

However, the initial non-conformity of the accommodation is recognized and entitles a price reduction.

Under these conditions, the Mediation deemed that an amicable settlement could be reached and recommended a partial refund equal to 25 % of the price of the second stay.

NonnaMaxxing: Why Travelers Are Now Vacationing with Grandmothers

by

Learning to make pasta with an Italian grandmother, cooking in an Irish home, or visiting Tokyo with a local grandma… A new travel trend is captivating an increasing number of younger generations. Called “NonnaMaxxing” or “grandma tourism,” this phenomenon responds to a quest for authenticity, the transmission of know-how, and comfort, far from traditional tourist circuits.

When grandmothers become the best travel guides

For a long time, tourist experiences leaned on quirky activities or thrills. But today, a portion of travelers seeks something entirely different: intergenerational encounters with older women who pass on their know-how and everyday life.

This trend is part of the continuity of the movement “#Grandmacore,” which accumulates nearly 800 million views on TikTok and highlights activities associated with grandmothers, such as cooking, sewing, or knitting.

According to a GetYourGuide study, a platform for comparing and booking leisure activities, 76% of Gen Z travelers (born between 1997 and 2012) surveyed in France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States would be willing to book an activity inspired by grandmothers. Among the most popular experiences are pasta-making classes with an Italian grandmother (nonna), or guided tours led by Japanese retirees.

For Brittany Diego, a 32-year-old stylist based in Los Angeles, her pasta-making class in the home of a nonna near Rome was the highlight of her trip. “There were many pasta-making classes offered. But learning with an Italian grandmother seemed the most authentic option, and it fully met my expectations”, she tells the BBC.

Beyond the recipe, she mainly remembers the warmth of the welcome. “My nonna spoke very little English, but we still forged a connection through smiles, gestures and cooking together. We shared an aperitif and bruschettas before making the pasta”, she explains. Despite the language barrier, this experience left her with new friends and the feeling of being welcomed as a family member.

An experience beneficial for both young people and seniors

These stays are appealing not only for their cultural dimension. They also meet a need to slow down and to forge human connections in a daily life that is highly connected.

In Japan, some services even offer to “rent a grandmother” to share a day, cook together, or discover a city. Professional skateboarder Brooke Johnson spent a day in Tokyo with a retired woman named Misa. Together, they visited the Tsukiji Market, tasted sushi and wagyu beef, before playing in an arcade.

“Even though Misa and I didn’t speak the same language, somewhere between meals, laughter and claw machines, I no longer felt like I had rented a grandmother, but like I was part of a family”, she shared on her social media.

For psychologist and author Terri Apter, a specialist in family relationships, these exchanges benefit both generations. The younger benefit from the experience and knowledge of their elders, while the older derive a real well-being boost from this transmission. “Young people will undoubtedly receive a very warm welcome from the elderly. If we look at the different stages of development over life, one of the needs of old age is what is called generativity, the act of giving. Being in contact with young people and passing on knowledge is extremely beneficial for the mood, health, and longevity of older people”, she tells the English media.

Kate Wright, who hosts travelers in her Galway kitchen to teach them traditional Irish recipes, also notes this enthusiasm. “Many of these recipes are passed down from generation to generation, and it’s very rewarding to keep these traditions alive while sharing them with the younger generation”, she tells the BBC.

According to her, these workshops also help disconnect from screens and find a calmer pace. “In a world where we spend so much time on our phones and with technology, cooking classes offer the chance to unplug. Visitors often say they enjoy meeting new people, listening to their stories, and leaving with recipes and memories that endure well after the trip ends,” she concludes.

Jet Tours and Boomerang Unveil Change-of-Mind Guarantee for Travelers

CroisiEurope


In a context where uncertainty continues to influence purchasing behavior, Jet Tours and Boomerang unveil a solution presented as a “change-of-mind guarantee”.

The objective is clear: to remove booking barriers by offering travelers greater flexibility, while supporting retailers in their commercial activities.

The “Flex” range rests on a central, market-unique principle: allowing cancellation without justification up to the day of departure.

In addition, the two tour operators introduce a transversal option: the “Price Guarantee”. It can be added to either of the Flex plans.

This mechanism helps protect clients against potential cost increases that may occur after booking, whether due to fuel, taxes or currency fluctuations.

The stated aim is to offer a double security: against travel-related unforeseen events on the one hand, and against economic fluctuations on the other.


Two Main Options

The first option, named “Cancellation Flex”, offers cancellation without justification up to departure.

It provides: a 100% refund without deductible in case you opt for a Jet Tours/Boomerang credit for a future trip. A 20% deductible in the event of a cash refund. A coverage that can reach up to €50,000 per person. And an extension to nine travelers, whether they are related or not.

The two tour operators highlight a premium positioning for this guarantee, notably through high coverage ceilings deemed strong on the market.

The second option, “Multi-Insurance Flex”, includes the possibility of cancellation without justification within a broader insurance contract. It also comprises the classic travel protections: luggage protection (theft, loss, damage). Transport insurance (delay, missed departure or return). 24/7 medical assistance, medical expenses abroad and repatriation. Civil liability and trip interruption coverage.

This option aims to offer a comprehensive coverage, from the moment of booking to the trip’s return.


A Product Designed for Distribution Networks

The Flex range is now available through the two operators’ BtoB portals as well as through their sales teams. The pricing grids and detailed terms are also available there.

TGV Lyria: New Coworking Spaces for Business Travelers

by


IWG et TGV Lyria annoncent un partenariat pour proposer aux voyageurs d’affaires une offre de coworking - Depositphotos.com, GaudiLab

IFTM TourMaG Party


International Workplace Group (IWG), global specialist in flexible workspaces, and TGV Lyria announce a partnership to enhance the working conditions of business travelers.

This collaboration gives rise to a new coworking offering designed for professionals on the move.

TGV Lyria customers will benefit from exclusive advantages in a selection of spaces operated by IWG, under the Regus, Spaces and Signature brands, located near major stations in France and Switzerland.

While, according to a 2020 INFRAS study, professionals can work during 83% of their train journey, thanks to a conducive and connected environment, the agreement between IWG and TGV Lyria aims to extend this experience by offering work solutions tailored from the moment you arrive at the station.

Present in more than 120 countries with nearly 4,000 sites, IWG deploys a network of modern workspaces near major transport hubs.

This network acts as a lever to meet the needs of the 5.7 million annual travelers using the 17 daily return services between Paris and the Swiss cities of Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich and Basel.


An offering integrated into the TGV Lyria service strategy

This partnership fits into the “New TGV Lyria Services” program, rolled out progressively since January 2025. It aims to provide a travel experience more fluid and coherent, from departure to arrival.

Concretely, TGV Lyria travelers benefit from specific advantages in IWG spaces on the day of their journey. First Signature clients enjoy one hour free in certain spaces, as well as a discount on additional hours.

Travelers in First and Standard classes have access to discounts on day offices, coworking spaces, meeting rooms and subscriptions, upon presenting their ticket.

Reservations are made through a dedicated platform, with on-site teams providing support.

Several sites are involved, notably in Paris, near the Lyon station, as well as in the main Swiss cities served by TGV Lyria, just a few minutes on foot from the stations.

When Flying: These 10 Bad Passenger Habits Annoy French Travelers

by

On solid ground as well as at altitude, it remains difficult to get everyone to adopt proper manners, as demonstrated by a new Booking.com study, unveiled to the press on Wednesday, July 8. Among the reservation site’s respondents, 61% of the French, drawn from 1,000 adults who had taken an international flight in the past twelve months, feel that some travelers exercise a bit too much leeway in the air.

From Female Travelers to Influencers: We Women [ABO]

by


Des voyageuses aux influenceuses : nous les femmes ! - Depositphotos.com Auteur Nadezda_Grapes

CroisiEurope


… The idea struck me suddenly to glance at the great pens of the Beat Generation, those of Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, Jack London… which to this day remain references in literature dedicated to the “road” and all its symbolism of counterculture waging war against an “american dream” that no longer answered the aspirations of the sixties.

And what did I discover? Simply, that not a single female writer had the luck to be retained by literary history! Not one! While, at the same time, many young American women were traveling on unlikely roads through Asia, South America, and the Middle East!

In Europe at the same time and particularly in France, as the “backpackers” followed in the footsteps of their North American contemporaries, the landscape was equally bleak. With only a few very small exceptions (Muriel Cerf’s L’Anti Voyage), it was mainly the women engaged in the feminist struggle who were making the headlines.

“Stand up, women” shouted the newcomers coming of age, demanding sexual freedom, the right to abortion, contraception and other rights to education indispensable to the fulfillment of half of humanity!



The Pioneers!


Alexandra David-Néel - CC Wikipedia

To believe that the road and the journeys it permitted were surely the realm of these young women whose appearances were made uniform by roughly cut hair and embroidered shirts.

To believe that travel, being synonymous with learning and knowledge, was closed to women still confined to their kitchen and their children.

Some names, however, began to circulate and to serve as references. It was the grand Alexandra David-Néel who began her first work with the words “Obedience is death,” explaining her thirst for travel whose culmination in 1912 was her arrival in Lhassa where she finally approached the Dalai Lama!

Reaching the age of 101 years before passing away in Dignes, Alexandra was indeed accompanied by a young servant whom she regarded as her adopted son. For all that, this icon of travel has always shown a curiosity and a courage perfectly indispensable for wandering on Asian roads where more than once she had to pass herself off as a man to move forward!

This disguise tactic is, moreover, well known to female travelers. In 1766, for instance, a certain Jeanne Barret embarked on Bougainville’s around-the-world expedition. Disguised as a sailor, she used the voyage to develop her passion for botany and collected thousands of plant samples. Unmasked in Tahiti, she returned to France some ten years later and was absolved of her fault.

We can also recall through her writings of “La monja Alferez,” this young Spanish woman who deserted her convent at the start of the seventeenth century to embark on conquest ships, disguised as a soldier. That’s Catalina de Erauso!

We also mention the one who commanded the largest pirate fleet in history. A Chinese woman born in 1775… “Innumerable, humble and extraordinary, these survivors have been swallowed up,” write Alexandra Lapierre and Christel Mouchard in their book: “They Conquered the World.” Editions Arthaud.


Georges Sand, from Venice to Majorca

Encouraged by the development of maritime and land transport, the traveling women of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are therefore not pioneers in the strict sense. They embody, without realizing it, an evolution in the status of women which, though long and full of obstacles, is undeniable. But, in France as well, these writers—“travelers”—were not numerous.

And few remember them. Flora Tristan in South America leaves a name, while Isabelle Eberhardt (born in 1877) also disguises herself as a man, leaving writings: “In the Warm Shadow of Islam.” A narrative about Algeria where she spent many years.

Among the writers of the era, the best known, Colette, was not a great traveler. A few returns between the provinces and Paris sufficed. By contrast, George Sand, a child of the nineteenth century (born in 1804), besides her travel between Paris and Nohant, experienced the hardship of travel abroad.

Majorca in the company of Frédéric Chopin during the winters of 1838 and 1839 has been mentioned by the writer in her diary with a vitriolic pen against the natives for whom she showed an unacceptable intolerance. In her book “A Winter in Majorca,” she nevertheless exercises her talent into a kind of narrative already akin to travel guides.

And, conversely, after a few months in Venice in the company of Alfred de Musset, she leaves in her correspondence lines that are both romantic and realistic about the Serenissima and its inhabitants. Lines perfectly romantic and realistic at once!


Ella Maillart, Margaret Mead… Edith Wharton!

A product of Europe in the thirties, grew tired of her gilded cage in Switzerland. After a journey across the Caucasus, she nonetheless published writings on Russian youth. Then came China, where she travels in 1934 and takes the opportunity to publish her first reports for Le Petit Parisien.

Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, India—where she eventually settles—pass before her eyes and inspire all sorts of writings. Then, back in Europe where she dies in 1997, she brings the concept of cultural travel, spiritual travel, lectures, and yoga classes. Very active, also the American Margaret Mead who used her journeys to exercise her anthropologist’s skills among the tribes of New Guinea and the surrounding region.

Highlighted by the unforgettable film “Out of Africa,” the Danish Karen Blixen also contributed to the quality of women’s travel literature. Blazing, these narratives about Africa nearly earned her the Nobel Prize.

A few more words on these superb voices who were the novelist Edith Wharton, who, in the twenties, published accounts of her travels in France, Italy, Morocco… A passionate traveler, she also used her books to offer a historical, cultural, artistic description of the countries she visited. All of this with a voice often laced with humor.

And again, we are not far from a travel guide. Finally, what about Vita Sackville-West? Born in 1892, she was a poet, gardener, journalist. Wife of a British diplomat, she stayed in the Middle East, notably in Iran, India, Egypt… from which she drew inspiration to write both novels and popular science works.


Keyless Hotel in Los Cabos Invites Travelers to Embrace Nature

by

And you, could you sleep in a hotel room with no lock? In the Los Cabos region, on the wild coastline of Baja California, that is the experience offered by La Valise hotel. During a report conducted in February this year in Mexico, we discovered this discreet address tucked between desert and turquoise sea, far from the large resort complexes of Cabo San Lucas. Beyond its striking concept, the establishment also serves as a gateway to another facet of the Mexican state: wilder, more pristine and deeply oriented toward nature.

In Los Cabos, an unusual hotel amid nature

Lost between the desert and the Sea of Cortez, La Valise Los Cabos hardly resembles the properties that have built the region’s tourist reputation. The hotel, whose small buildings draw inspiration from Mexican haciendas and Mediterranean villas, comprises only nine rooms spread over a vast plot bordered by the sea, amid cacti and the dry vegetation characteristic of the East Cape.

Israel ETA-IL System Opens to Visa-Exempt Travelers

by


Le système ETA-IL est accessible aux touristes de 99 pays pour se rendre en Israël © ShutterStock

CroisiEurope


As announced last May, Israeli authorities opened access to the ETA-IL system for visitors from the 99 countries and territories that are visa-exempt from entering the State of Israel.



Since July 1, tourists from the affected countries can apply for an electronic travel authorization, which will become mandatory starting August 1, 2024.



And good news for the first applicants wishing to travel to Israel, VisasNews reports that the ETA-IL authorization is currently free, and this at least until July 31, 2024.

Beginning on August 1, unless this grace period is extended, ETA-IL will cost 25 NIS, or about €7.


The ETA-IL authorization for Israel is valid for 2 years

In a press release published yesterday, the Israeli Embassy in France reminds that the ETA-IL authorization must be requested no later than 72 hours before departure for Israel and remains valid for two years “or until the passport expires if that expires before the two years of the document’s validity”.

The Israeli consular authorities explain that applicants therefore do not need to reapply for ETA-IL for two years, “even if they travel to Israel multiple times within 24 months”.

“In case of a name, gender, country or residence change, applicants will need to submit a new ETA-IL application”, adds the Embassy.

To read: Israel: the country is once again “open to tourism”

Travelers going to Israel as tourists, for business, to visit family or friends, or even for short studies can apply for an ETA-IL entry authorization without a visa.

The ETA-IL allows its holder to stay in Israel for up to 90 days.
