The Vakantie Festival, which will take place in the spring of 2026 in the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, welcomes a new, renowned player from the river cruise world: CroisiEurope. The European shipping company, with a wide range of river and coastal cruises, is therefore a valuable addition to the increasingly diverse field of participants.
Danielle van Poppel, Sales & Marketing Manager Netherlands at CroisiEurope, explains the choice: “For many travellers, a river cruise is a surprisingly comfortable and versatile way to discover Europe. The Vakantie Festival offers us an excellent opportunity to talk directly to that traveler, explain our itineraries and concepts and broaden the image of river cruises. We look forward to sharing our passion for boating and discovery.”
CroisiEurope has been active in the European market for decades and sails on the Rhine, Seine, Douro, Danube and Rhône, among others, but also offers unique cruises in Asia, Southern Africa and in 2027 the Amazon will be added in Brazil with a brand new ship. The shipping company is known for its excellent price-quality ratio, small-scale ships, French-inspired service and innovative sailing routes.
T.J. van Apeldoorn, co-founder of the Vakantie Festival: “With CroisiEurope we are bringing an established name on board. River cruises are gaining in popularity, and CroisiEurope offers a very wide and accessible offer that is perfectly suited to our visitors.” Co-founder Frits Kuijper is also enthusiastic: “CroisiEurope enriches the festival with a different side of the cruise offer. The personal atmosphere and versatile destinations make river cruises attractive to a growing target group.”
The Vakantie Festival will take place in the spring of 2026 and brings together destinations, travel providers and consumers in an inspiring setting full of travel information, advice and entertainment.
