Excursion-cruises on the Rhône river

Following the acquisition of the Compagnie des Grands Bateaux de Provence in 2023, Le Mireïo was renovated to offer river excursions from Avignon that better meet visitors’ expectations.

A modernised fleet 

Spring 2024 marked the return to service of Le Mireïo, the iconic ships of the Grands Bateaux de Provence. The new investors had immediately embarked on the redesign of cruise programmes on the Rhône and the modernisation of the 230 passengers boat: a large restaurant and, in season, a panoramic terrace for lunches and dinners with a view.
