CDF Croisières de France

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CDF Croisières de France is a cruise line which caters to the French cruise market, with French as the only language used onboard their ships. CDF will offer cruises on the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.[1]

Founded on September 2007 as a subsidiary of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., CDF will begin operations in May 2008 with Bleu de France as their sole ship.[2] During the north hemisphere summer season the Bleu de France will operate cruises in the Mediterranean out of Marseille, while for the winter season she will be relocated to the Caribbean, with La Romana, Dominican Republic as her port of departure.[3] The company will offer an all-inclusive product, with not only accommodation and meals but also all drinks and tips included in the price of the cruise.[1]
