Your Europe & River Cruise Travel Agent

Travelers of all ages are catching on and river cruising has quickly become a very attractive way to experience the beauty of Europe (and other parts of the world). The itineraries on the river offer stops in unique ports of call, giving you the opportunity to visit small quaint villages as well as docking in the heart of some larger cities. When heading on a river cruise you will board a smaller ship. The luxury accommodations and atmosphere are on board are intimate, relaxing and fun! Think of a river cruise as your scenic floating boutique hotel with the benefit of only having to unpack once!

You will have the opportunity to participate in very unique experiences while in port that allow you to immerse yourself in the local culture such as walking tours of towns, cook with local chefs, enjoy wine tastings, set off on a hike or ride a bike through the countryside. If you prefer to venture out on your own in a particular city, you can! After all, it’s your vacation and you should spend time ashore as you prefer. The majority of the river cruisers will choose the tours as they offer options that are highly attractive in each port. The tours often offer free time in cities and on many occasions you’re in port overnight giving you the freedom to explore on your own. The ships dock right in or near town so it’s easy to venture off if you’d like. We did a few times!

River cruising offers an inclusive experience as your gourmet meals, beverages (including beer & wine) and fantastic tours are offered as part of your package. You also have the opportunity to extend your trip pre and/or post cruise to have more time to discover Europe. I have personally experienced 6 river cruises in different areas/time of year with 5 different cruise lines. Every river cruise line is slightly different. I’d be happy to find the right river cruise line to fit your needs while giving you the unparalleled river cruise experience you are looking for.

Amazing Family Vacation
Reviewed By Josie - Prior Lake, MN | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Carrie is awesome at what she does! She planned out family vacation to Universal in Florida, and we couldn’t have been happier with how it all turned out. She was so great at asking all the right questions to figure out exactly how to cater to our specific wishes so that the trip was a perfect fit for our family, from the resort to the itinerary, to the extra tips she gave us to make it all extra special and run smoothly. We honestly wouldn’t change a thing. Can’t wait until the next time we get to have her help us plan a vacation!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
