AmaMagna Gems of Southeast Europe river cruise

Then join Linda as she hosts a sailing on the stunning AmaMagna ship which is double the width of a regular river cruise but yet carries only 30 more passengers!  Enjoy your large balcony stateroom and variety of 4 restaurant choices as you sail along the exotic lower Danube from Romania to Budapest Hungary.

Which River Cruise is right for me ?

Are you confused by all the different cruise companies and itineraries?
1) Have you started to research your choices and find that now you’re just overwhelmed by all the information? Would you like to know which cruise is the perfect fit for you or why some companies are better on certain rivers than others ?

Each company claims they are the best but I can tell you the differences between Ama Waterways, Avalon, Emerald, Scenic, Tauck, Uniworld and Viking

2) If you have questions like which ones offer more active excursions ? Which ones include the gratuities or alcohol?  Are the French Balcony type cabins worth the higher cost?  Which deck should I pick, what should I pack ? Then I can help answer all of those and get you booked on the right cruise (because one that your friend went on might not be the best choice for you)

3) Can you trust spending up to $10,000 or more online or with a call center agent or would you like to book with an expert who has actually been there ?

I’ve sailed on the Rhine (3 times), Main, Mosel, Danube (3 times), Rhone, Saone, Seine, Garonne (Bordeaux) Dutch/Belgian Waterways, Yangtze, Mekong, Amazon, St. Lawrence, Columbia/Snake rivers and the Chobe River in Africa.

To get your questions answered, email Linda at linda@therivercruiselady.com or call at 1-877-543-8182 to see if she is taking on any new clients at this time.  If so, she will make an appointment to discuss your options and the Plan-To-Go fee charged to have her provide you with choices for  your trip of a lifetime.
(She has personally taken almost all the pictures on this website)

Plus your funds are always safe with her Consumer Protection License and any charges are done directly by the cruise line.

After my earlier post of the daytime Vienna pictur After my earlier post of the daytime Vienna pictures, here are the nighttime ones 😍 It was very busy at their main Christmas Market but the lights & decorated stalls made it all worthwhile. If you zoom in on the full city hall one, you will find a band on top of the roof of one of the stalls! Then we had to walk back to St Stephens to see it all lit up plus the surrounding streets

St Stephens Cathedral was sparkling in the sunshine & we could see the shapes of the lights that would be turned on later in the streets. We visited one of the smaller Christmas markets and had some Gluhwein (mulled wine) plus watched the chef in the window at Demel’s preparing their famous treat that everyone was lining up for 😋
