4.2.2008: CDF Crosieres de France to offer all-inclusive product

CDF Crosieres de France will offer an all-inclusive product, whereby all drinks at bars as well as restaurants are included in the price of the ticket on board its first ship, Bleu de France. The 37,012 gross ton former Holiday Dream of Pullmantur and Europa of Hapag-Lloyd that was built in 1982 will enter service under the CDF houseflag in the spring, following a 30 million refurbishment in Barcelona. The ship will make seven night western Mediterranean cruises from Marseille until November, when it will sail to the Caribbean for the winter. Tips are also included in the fare on the ship, which is the first modern major cruise liner to target the French-speaking market. The company highlights on its website that all entertainment, announcements and signs on board the ship will be only in French, which is the only language used on board. CDF is part of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
