Becky Walters did a GREAT job planning this trip for us! We flew to Lima, Peru, then to Cusco for a few days, then hiked across the Andes mountains for 3 days, then trekked to Machu Picchu.

Honeymoon
After 2 horrible experiences with travel agents in the Wichita, KS area, I finally came across Becky with Vincent Vacations in OKC! She communicated with me every day to plan this trip for my husband and I, and it ended up being THE perfect vacation. There were no upfront fees, she was easy to communicate with, had multiple round trip flight options for us (with flights out of OKC, Wichita, and KC), found numerous activities around the island for us, and she was sure to answer all my questions. I will definitely be using Becky for the rest of our vacations! She took the stress and worry out of the planning so we were simply able to enjoy our trip. Thank you so much! -Allison

There’s something undeniably magical about exploring Europe from the gentle motion of a riverboat. You sail past storybook landscapes, medieval towns, and grand capitals, all while unpacking just once and waking up in a new destination nearly every day. It has quickly become my favorite way to see Europe. If you love convenience, culture, and scenic charm, a river cruise may just be the easiest—and most romantic—way to see Europe. Here’s why.
🚢 1. Effortless Exploration
Europe’s river network is its hidden highway, connecting iconic places like Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam, Budapest, and Basel. Instead of navigating trains, buses, or flights between cities, a river cruise lets you wake up in the heart of each destination. No airports. No traffic. Just effortless travel from one beautiful stop to the next.
Imagine this: sipping coffee on deck as the sunrise glows over the Rhine; docking steps from a Gothic cathedral in Cologne; or strolling cobblestone streets in a charming village before dinner. River cruising turns travel days into enjoyable experiences rather than logistical hurdles.
🍽️ 2. All-Inclusive Ease, Local Immersion
River cruises include meals and drinks (including local wine and beer), guided tours, excursions, and so much more—so the logistics are handled for you. But beyond convenience, these cruises connect you with local culture. Bistro dinners in Lyon, wine tastings in Bordeaux’s vineyards, classical concerts in Vienna, and village markets in rural Bavaria—these aren’t tick-the-box stops. They’re genuinely immersive experiences.
Plus, being on the water fosters a relaxed pace where you have time to savor places instead of rushing past them. You’ll leave feeling connected, not stressed.
🌍 3. Three River Cruise Lines to Know
Here are three river cruise lines that exemplify the best of European river travel—each with its own style and highlights:
🚤 Avalon Waterways – Modern Comfort & Endless Views
Avalon is all about panoramic experiences. Their sleek ships feature floor-to-ceiling windows, open-air balconies, and thoughtfully designed spaces that make you feel connected to the ever-changing scenery.
Best for: Travelers who love comfort, design, and flexibility.
Standout: Their Open-Air Balconies let you enjoy fresh air without sacrificing your cabin space.
Sample Route:Rhine River cruise from Amsterdam to Basel, stopping in Strasbourg, Heidelberg, and the Black Forest region.
With Avalon, you get a good mix of guided tours and free-time options, so you can tailor your trip to your pace.
🍷 AmaWaterways – Gastronomy & Active Adventures
AmaWaterways shines in culinary experiences and active excursions. Foodies and adventure lovers will find plenty to love.
Best for: Food lovers, wine enthusiasts, and active travelers.
Standout: Their Chef’s Table and regional wine pairings bring local flavors center stage.
Sample Route:Danube River cruise from Budapest to Vilshofen, exploring Bratislava, Wachau Valley vineyards, Salzburg, and Passau.
AmaWaterways also offers guided biking and hiking options for those who love to explore on foot (or wheels) on shore stops.
🌟 Viking River Cruises – Classic & Worldly
Viking is one of the most recognized names in river cruising, known for cultural depth and elegant experiences.
Best for: Travelers seeking cultural enrichment and luxury with a classic touch.
Standout: Their insightful Destination Performances and expert guides elevate the experience.
Sample Route:Seine River cruise from Paris to Normandy, featuring Monet’s Garden in Giverny, historic Rouen, and World War II sites along the Normandy coast.
Viking’s ships are elegantly designed with Scandinavian simplicity, and their programming leans heavily into history and art.
📍 4. Why River Cruising Beats Traditional Touring
Here’s what makes river cruising truly exceptional:
Home Base Onboard: Unpack once and let your floating hotel take you from city to village.
Daily New Destinations: Spend mornings exploring, afternoons absorbing the scenery, evenings enjoying local cuisine.
Scenic Travel: The journey is the destination—with views you’d otherwise miss from motorways or trains.
✨ Final Thought: A Journey, Not Just a Trip
Europe is vast, layered with history and brimming with narratives told through castles, cathedrals, and cafés. A river cruise stitches these stories together effortlessly. From the fairy-tale spires of Prague to the vineyards of Bordeaux, cruising Europe’s waterways transforms the continent from a place you visit into a journey you live.
So pack your sense of wonder—and maybe a camera for those unforgettable riverside sunsets. Europe by river isn’t just beautiful… it’s unforgettable. 🌅🚢🇪🇺
