MS Gil Eanes

Named after the famous Portuguese navigator, Gil Eanes is a Premium three-deck ship specially designed for the river Douro in Portugal. Launched in 2015, this elegant-designed ship with a bright, modern feel has ample space throughout for passenger comfort with splendid panoramic windows.

Cabins & Accommodation

Upon boarding, you will be welcomed by the crew who will help you settle into your cabin. The advantage of cruising is that you will only unpack your suitcase once before you let yourself go to relax and travel! An elegant setting, a warm atmosphere and quality bedding: our cabins are comfortable, functional, air-conditioned and all have an exterior panoramic view allowing you to fully enjoy the scenery.

Onboard Experiences

Named after the famous Portuguese navigator, Gil Eanes is a Premium three-deck ship specially designed for the river Douro in Portugal. Launched in 2015, this elegant-designed ship with a bright, modern feel has ample space throughout for passenger comfort with splendid panoramic windows. Its elegant taupe, bronze, and white interior tones combine perfectly with the blue shades and these conjure up the Portuguese tile designs and colours.

Entertainment

All onboard fun, music, and dancing happen in the lounge and bar on the middle deck bow.

We offer an optional excursion program to enrich each itinerary. These are carefully selected, accessible to all, as close as possible to the cultures and traditions of the world. Choose between the “Classic” excursions which highlight the must-sees of the destination, combining culture, architecture and history, and the “Discovery” excursions which offer unusual tours, tastings of local products, helicopter tours and so much more!

Gratuities

Gratuities are at the discretion of passengers. Tipping practices vary widely between countries and cultures. At Croisi Europe, tips are distributed equally among all crew members. This gesture from our passengers reflects their appreciation for the quality of service and attention they have received throughout their cruise, at every level. How much should I tip? A tip of €5 to €10 per person per day is a common guideline, but each passenger is, of course, free to give any amount they feel appropriate. For your convenience, an envelope will be placed in your cabin on your final evening aboard. You can leave it in the designated box at the reception desk when you disembark. This information applies to river and sea cruises operated by vessels in the Croisi Europe fleet.
