Manage episode 506632081 series 3677625
When’s the best time to take a European river cruise? The truth is, there’s no single answer — because each season has its own magic. In this episode of Europe Unveiled, Sonia walks you season by season down Europe’s rivers. From tulip cruises in the Netherlands to wine harvests on the Moselle, summer festivals along the Rhine, and Christmas Markets on the Danube, you’ll discover what makes every time of year special.
You’ll also hear about itineraries worth bookmarking from AmaWaterways, Avalon, Scenic, Emerald, Riviera, and Riverside — plus insider tips like shipping tulip bulbs home from Keukenhof, Emerald’s Oktoberfest extension in Munich, and why February off-season sailings on the Rhine and Danube are a hidden gem.
By the end, you’ll know exactly which season — and which river — is right for your dream trip.
