Hi, I’m Stephanie, owner of Sea Day Travel and a river cruise travel specialist who helps travelers plan unforgettable European river cruise vacations.

River cruising is one of the most immersive and relaxing ways to explore Europe. Imagine unpacking once while your ship glides through beautiful landscapes, historic towns, and vibrant cities along the continent’s most famous waterways. Your ship becomes your floating boutique hotel, bringing you directly into the heart of destinations that larger ships simply can’t reach.

Many travelers researching river cruising are considering a Viking River Cruise, one of the most recognized names in river cruising. Many travelers find me when searching for a Viking river cruise travel agent to help guide them through the planning process and compare different river cruise options.

With more than 10 years of cruise experience, I help travelers navigate the many options available when planning European river cruises. From choosing the right itinerary to selecting the best stateroom and sailing date, my goal is to make the entire planning process simple and seamless.

Some of the most popular European river cruises sail along legendary waterways such as:Rhine River cruises — famous for storybook castles, vineyards, and charming medieval villages.

Danube River cruises — connecting incredible cities including Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, and Passau.

Seine River cruises — combining the romance of Paris with historic Normandy.

Douro River cruises — winding through Portugal’s stunning wine country.

Rhône River cruises — offering a culinary journey through southern France.

Many travelers researching river cruising are considering a Viking River Cruise, which is one of the most well-known river cruise lines in the world. Viking helped introduce many travelers to river cruising and offers elegant ships, culturally immersive itineraries, and thoughtfully designed onboard experiences.

While Viking River Cruises are incredibly popular, I also help travelers compare other exceptional river cruise lines including Celebrity River Cruises, AmaWaterways, Scenic, Uniworld, Tauck, and Avalon Waterways to find the best fit for their travel style.

River cruises are especially appealing to travelers who enjoy:

Cultural travel and historic destinations

Smaller ships with personalized service

Scenic journeys through Europe’s most beautiful regions

Luxury river cruises with exceptional dining and service

Effortless travel where you unpack once and explore many destinations.

Whether you're planning your first European river cruise or looking to explore another of Europe’s great rivers, I’m here to help guide the process and make the experience effortless.

Europe Graduation Trip/Cruise 2022
Reviewed By Aunt El - Hamilton, OH | Traveled to Europe
I was very happy with the service provided by Stephanie. She booked a Mediterranean Cruise on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, for myself, my niece & nephew, and my Mom, to celebrate my niece's high school graduation. Stephanie also booked the 4 of us on a land tour in Europe with Trafalgar Tours before boarding our cruise. We all had a great time on the cruise, and we loved the land tour as well! Stephanie was extremely easy to work with, responded to all emails quickly, and expertly answered all questions. I already have another cruise booked with Stephanie for my husband and I next year!

Celebrity Retreat Cruises
Stephanie is truly amazing! Whether we have a cruise booked, on a cruise or are looking at future ones I know I can come to her with a question. We sail exclusively on Celebrity and she knows the cabin types like the back of her hand. Stephanie, thank you for always going above and beyond to make out trips amazing.

Greek Isles Cruise
Wow! We have only cruised once and it was over 20 years ago. To say we were nervous about booking another cruise, in Europe no less, is an understatement. Stephanie was there to answer all of our questions when we were considering booking a cruise on Virgin Voyages. She booked our cruise, got us an A+ room location on the ship and booked our hotel for a two day beach resort after the cruise. Most importantly, she communicated to us throughout the process with reminders of passport readiness, reservation openings, show bookings and any other general deadlines we needed to be aware of. I always felt that if I had a question or a problem, the solution was a single phone call or email away. And to top it off, the experience on Virgin was so fantastic we are getting ready to book our next cruise through Stephanie!
