Europe, Thoughtfully Curated
by Bryson Travel Group

After living in Germany for more than 10 years and exploring Europe for over 35 years, I've curated a collection of European experiences I genuinely love and recommend. From river cruises and festive Christmas Markets to culinary journeys and hidden gems, these are experiences I believe showcase some of the very best of Europe.

AmaWaterways Christmas Market River Cruises

Late November through December departures

7, 10, 11, and 14 night itineraries aboard multiple AmaWaterways ships

I truly believe a Christmas Market river cruise is one of the most magical ways to experience Europe during the holidays. Imagine strolling through centuries old market squares filled with twinkling lights, handcrafted gifts, mulled wine, and festive traditions while only unpacking once. AmaWaterways has become one of my favorite ways to experience Europe's Christmas Markets because of their exceptional service, immersive excursions, and thoughtfully designed itineraries. If a European Christmas has always been on your bucket list, this is an unforgettable journey.

Fall has always been my favorite time to travel to Europe, but February and early March are right up there as well. I love these quieter months because there are fewer crowds, better pricing, and a more authentic feel to many destinations. AmaWaterways City Escapes combine the ease of river cruising with extra time to truly immerse yourself in each destination at a slower pace. It's a wonderful option for first time river cruisers and returning guests who want to experience a different side of Europe that many travelers overlook.
