Cruise the Danube

20251023_123559_84ECDF.jpeg

Sailing the Danube on Riviera is like stepping into a living storybook. From the pastel skyline of Budapest to the music-filled streets of Vienna and the quiet charm of riverside villages, a Danube River cruise invites you to slow down, savor each moment, and experience Europe in a beautifully intimate way. This is not rushed sightseeing. It is intentional, connection-filled travel—perfect for couples, friends, and small groups looking to share something extraordinary. As we glide past castles, vineyards, and centuries of history, you will enjoy curated excursions, local cuisine, and the ease of unpacking just once. If you are dreaming of meaningful group travel, a hosted river cruise, or a stress-free way to explore Europe together, the Danube offers an unforgettable journey designed for connection, joy, and lifelong memories.

Glamping charm

There is something unforgettable about gathering your closest friends under a sky full of stars. Our Glamping adventure blended luxury with the wild beauty of the Southwest—where campfires spark long conversations, the desert air feels peaceful and grounding, and every shared moment becomes part of a story you will talk about for years. Imagine waking up to sunrise over red-rock cliffs, exploring slot canyons and Lake Powell by day, and ending the evening with s’mores, laughter, and the kind of connection that only happens when life slows down. This is intentional group travel at its best—crafted for couples and friends who want to unplug, breathe deeply, and experience nature without sacrificing comfort. If you are seeking a luxury glamping trip, a curated small-group escape, or a meaningful way to reconnect with people you love, this experience delivers adventure, rest, and memories that last long after the lanterns go out.

Cruise the Rhone

Cruising the Rhône with Avalon was more than a trip—it was a shared adventure with friends that became one of my favorite travel memories. From the moment we stepped onboard, the intimate, relaxed atmosphere made it easy to unwind, reconnect, and simply enjoy being together. Our days were filled with wandering through storybook Provençal villages, exploring ruins, tasting local wines and cheeses in charming vineyards, and browsing colorful markets where every stall felt like a piece of French life. Evenings brought long conversations over dinner, quiet moments on the deck as the sun set over the river, and the kind of laughter and connection that only happens when friends travel together at a slower pace.

Q. Why Travel Insurance?

Your journey is an investment.  The world can be unpredictable due natural disasters, health issues, or political instability. Travel insurance acts as a safety net, protecting you financially from unexpected events like missed connections or trip cancellations. To safeguard your investment, the premium is due with your initial deposit. While optional, I strongly recommend it for financial security; declining coverage requires a waiver acknowledging your choice.

Q. Can I make changes to my itinerary?

A.  Absolutely!  Flexibility plays an important role in crafting your perfect trip.  The Design Fee covers three complimentary rounds of revisions prior to deposit.  However, once the deposit has been made, changes become a bit more difficult and may require additional fees by the suppliers.

Q. What if I need to cancel?

A. Life happens, and sometimes plans change unexpectedly.  

If you need to cancel your trip after a deposit or full payment, cancellation fees may apply.  These fees vary depending on the specific travel providers and partners involved.   To ensure

clarity, a detailed cancellation policy will be found in the Terms and Conditions.
