Your Expert Partner in River Cruising

Heidelberg, Germany - on the Rhine River

Your Expert Partner in River Cruising

I founded My Best Friend Went on a simple principle: the most reliable travel advice is the kind shared between friends who value honesty and integrity. My approach is that of a "straight-shooter"—I provide clear, expert guidance to ensure your time abroad is spent making memories, not managing logistics.

The Art of the River Cruise

They say ocean cruises take you to a country, but river cruises take you through a country. There is no better way to experience the heart of a continent than sailing on the river. Our most popular river cruises are on the Rhine and Danube rivers. Having experienced both as a professional travel agent and as a guest, I have the inside scoop and the training to be sure your voyage is truly exceptional.

From the fairy-tale castles along the Rhine to the imperial history of the cities flanking the Danube, I help my clients navigate the nuances of each itinerary. I maintain close partnerships with the best river cruise lines, giving you access to the best ships, staterooms, and amenities available.

Authentic Culture, Curated for You

A river cruise is more than just a means of transport; it is a gateway to authentic local experiences. I focus on connecting my clients with the elements that define a region:

• Exquisite Food and Wine: Whether it’s a private tasting in an Germany or French vineyard or a chef-led market tour, culinary highlights are a promise on your journey.
  
  
• Immersive Shore Excursions: I help you choose tours that go beyond the typical tourist paths, focusing on history, art, and local traditions.
  
  
• Boutique Luxury: Enjoy the convenience of a "floating boutique hotel" where you only unpack once but wake up in a new, stunning destination every morning.

The Value of an Expert Advocate

The world of river cruising is complex, with varying inclusions and seasonal nuances. Working with a dedicated agent means you have a personal advocate to handle everything from seamless airport transfers and pre-cruise hotel stays to the fine details of your daily itinerary. I take pride in planning your voyage with the same meticulous care I would for myself and my own family. I look forward to helping you discover the elegance and ease of your next European river cruise.
