Expertly Planned River Cruises

River Cruise Options I Recommend

Viking River Cruises

Amawaterways

Viking is one of the easiest and most well-organized ways to experience Europe by river—especially if you want a trip where everything just flows smoothly from start to finish.

Their ships are designed for comfort and simplicity, and the entire experience is structured so you don’t have to overthink anything.

What makes Viking stand out:

• Adults-only (quiet, relaxed atmosphere)

• One included excursion in every port

• Clean, modern Scandinavian design

• No casinos, no crowds, no distractions

• Easy, predictable daily flow

Why my clients choose Viking:

• They want a stress-free, well-organized trip

• They prefer everything handled in advance

• They like knowing what to expect each day

• It’s a great option for first-time river cruiser

AmaWaterways offers a more inclusive and elevated river cruise experience, with a strong focus on service, dining, and overall comfort.

It’s a great choice if you want everything handled—but with a little more variety and flexibility built in.

What makes AmaWaterways stand out:

• More included experiences, including active excursions like biking and walking tours

• Multiple dining venues and higher-end cuisine

• Wellness-focused options (fitness classes, healthier menus)

• Warm, attentive service with a slightly more upscale feel

Why my clients choose AmaWaterways:

• They want a more all-inclusive experience

• They enjoy having options (not just one excursion style)

• They appreciate great food and service

• They want structure—but not overly rigid schedules

Uniworld

As the first U.S.-based company to offer river cruising in Europe, Uniworld brings decades of experience along with a highly refined, detail-driven approach.

Each ship is uniquely styled, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a floating boutique hotel than a traditional cruise.

What makes Uniworld stand out:
