A Passion for Rivers, a Strategic Vision

Aurélie Feray – AF Fluvial Conseil

River cruise operations are built on precision, timing and reliability.
A few hours alongside must translate into a seamless experience for both crew and passengers.

Through years of close contact with ships, destinations and local partners, I have developed a deep understanding of how much a successful call depends on effective cooperation between onboard teams and shore stakeholders.

My role is to make that cooperation easier.


A professional who understands both sides

I am familiar with:

  • operational pressure on board
  • tight turnaround schedules
  • safety and accessibility requirements
  • service consistency expectations

At the same time, I understand how French destinations function, how decisions are made locally and what constraints partners may face.

This dual perspective allows me to act as a practical and credible interface.


Passion for the field

I strongly believe that nothing replaces being on site — observing flows, listening to crews, discussing with local actors and understanding how passengers experience the call.

This proximity to real operations ensures that my work remains pragmatic, realistic and immediately useful.


A facilitator focused on solutions

My contribution is not theoretical advice.
It is about:

  • clarifying situations
  • easing communication
  • aligning expectations
  • helping everyone work together efficiently

So that your calls run smoothly.


Why cruise lines work with me

Because they need:

  • a local expert
  • independent insight
  • fast understanding of situations
  • concrete, actionable support
  • someone who speaks both languages: ship and shore

Your translator between shore and ship.
