Drift into Elegance: Exquisite River Cruises

As a River Cruise Specialist, I'm here to guide you in finding the perfect brand, ship, and itinerary tailored to you and your fellow travelers. Whether it's a romantic getaway for two or a celebratory voyage for a group, river cruising offers an extraordinary way to explore destinations along Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and even North America. Which river cruise line is the best?


Recently, I had the privilege of attending the River Cruise Expo in Budapest, Hungary, where leading river cruise lines such as AmaWaterways, Avalon Waterways, Scenic River Cruises, Riverside, Amadeus, and Viking River Cruises were present. I took the opportunity to personally inspect all the ships and savor meals onboard. During the event, I stayed aboard the splendid Avalon Envision, where the service surpassed expectations, and the staterooms, with beds facing balconies, provided spectacular views.


Following the conference, I embarked on AmaWaterways' AmaVerde for the Gems of the Southeast itinerary. The AmaWaterways staff's attentiveness and warmth, coupled with delightful balconied staterooms and immersive onboard entertainment, made for an unforgettable experience.


Additionally, I had the pleasure of cruising along the Dutch Waterways with Tauck, an experience etched in my memory forever. I'm already planning to sail with Tauck again and embark on at least one of their land tours in the coming year.


This year, I embarked on a voyage with AmaWaterways from Basel, Switzerland, to Amsterdam on the Rhine River. Next year it's Christmas Markets on the Danube with AmaMagna.  


Most only think of the best river cruises in Europe. But river cruises sail a variety of destinations.


As a Certified Luxury Specialist, I highly recommend river cruises and small ship voyages to those seeking to delve deeper into boutique ports and cities within each country. With fewer guests onboard, you'll never find yourself waiting in line, and the attentive servers will quickly learn your preferences, ensuring a personalized experience.Whether you're embarking on your first river cruise or it's your tenth, I'm here to discuss your preferences and craft your ideal river cruise vacation. Let's chat about your next adventure on the water!    


Frequently asked questions:


 


How much does a Nile River Cruise cost?  River cruises appear to have a higher price point than many mass marketing cruise lines. Part of this has to do with the inclusions provided in a river cruise and the limited number of people who are sailing. The value of a river cruise is what needs to be taken into account. Finding the right cruise line and seeing what is offered is the first step. I assist my clients in finding the right fit providing them with exceptional value.


 


How long is a Nile Cruise? Three to five days depending on itinerary. This will be combined with a land segment.


 


What is the best month for a Nile Cruise? Between October and April

Even COVID couldn’t diminish the magic of Disney!
Andrea was incredible! From the moment we started exploring the idea of a Disney World trip she was super responsive and knowledgeable about the parks, hotels and specials! She walked us through the different properties, price points and even amenities at each of the locations she suggested. Once we booked she provided many details on how to reserve the parks, dining reservations and more to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible! She even went above and beyond offering to help us get dining reservations at highly sought after locations! while on the trip she checked in and even reminded us to register for the queue fir Star Wars Rise of the Resistance! Andrea is amazing at what she does and a great person! I can’t wait to book with her again!!
