Before heading to the ASTA River Cruise Expo 2025 in Vienna, I’ll be spending time in Prague, one of Europe’s most enchanting cities. With its fairy-tale architecture, historic bridges, and vibrant café culture, Prague is the perfect place to immerse myself in Old World charm before diving into the world of river cruising. I’m looking forward to strolling across the iconic Charles Bridge, exploring Prague Castle, and, of course, sampling some delicious Czech cuisine.
Here are the highlights:
Prague Castle Tour
Prague Foodie Walking Tour
Beer & Tapas Walking Tour
Český Krumlov and Kutna Hora
Wachau Valley and Melk Abbey guided tour
After my time in the Czech Republic, I’ll travel to Vienna for the 2025 ASTA River Cruise Expo, where I’ll get exclusive access to multiple river cruise ships, connect with industry experts, and gain fresh insights into the latest trends in river cruising. Vienna’s elegance, history, and lively culture make it an ideal host city for this event, and I can’t wait to experience both the ships and the city firsthand.
Some of the very best river cruise companies will have ships and personnel in Vienna. Here are the ships we will tour:
Amadeus Nova
AmaWaterways AmaBella, AmaLea and AmaSonata
Avalon Impression and Passion
Emerald Luna
Riviera MS William Wordsworth
Riverside Mozart
Scenic Opal
Tauch MS Savor
Uniworld SS Maria Theresa
Viking Ingvi and Rinda

Following the 4 Day ASTA River Cruise Expo, I will be boarding the Avalon Passion for a trip down the Lower Danube. We start in Vienna, and visit Bratislava, Budapest, Mohacs/Vukovar, Ilok, Novi Sad and, finally, Belgrade.
Stay tuned for updates as I explore these incredible destinations and bring back valuable insights on river cruising and European travel!
Please feel free to email me while I am traveling. I will do my best to respond in a timely manner. Keep in mind the 6 hour time difference from the east coast of the US.
