Tulips, Castles & the Rhine with Gather Flower Studio

Some journeys are about checking destinations off a list. This one is about slowing down, creating meaningful connections, and experiencing Europe through beauty, creativity, and community.

This hosted Rhine River Cruise brings together two women whose businesses are built on creating unforgettable experiences. While our backgrounds are different, we share a common belief: the most memorable moments happen when people gather, explore, and find inspiration together.

Jessica is the creative heart behind Gather Flower Studio, where flowers are more than beautiful arrangements- they're a way to foster connection, celebrate nature, and inspire creativity. Guided by the changing seasons and a deep appreciation for locally grown blooms, Jessica's artistic style embraces texture, movement, and the natural beauty found in every stem. Her work is rooted in the belief that flowers are simply the medium; the true purpose is creating meaningful moments and bringing people together.

Throughout the journey, Jessica will weave her love of florals, artistry, and seasonal inspiration into the experience, inviting guests to see the Rhine not only through its history and landscapes but also through its gardens, markets, colors, and traditions.

For more than two decades, AmaWaterways has been redefining what it means to experience Europe by river. Family-owned and operated since its founding, the company has built its reputation on exceptional service, thoughtfully designed ships, award-winning cuisine, and immersive cultural experiences that connect travelers with each destination. Rather than simply passing through Europe, AmaWaterways invites you to experience it- sailing directly into the heart of historic cities, charming villages, and breathtaking landscapes that larger ships simply cannot reach.

River cruising offers a wonderfully relaxed way to travel. Instead of unpacking and repacking throughout your journey, your floating boutique hotel travels with you. Wake up to a new destination each morning, spend your days exploring with expertly guided excursions, and return each afternoon to familiar faces, exceptional cuisine, and ever-changing views from the water. It's a seamless way to experience multiple countries while traveling at an unhurried pace.

Your home for the week will be AmaStella, an award-winning ship designed to provide the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and intimacy. Carrying just 156 guests, the atmosphere onboard is welcoming and personal. By the second day, the crew often knows your favorite drink, your dining preferences, and greets you by name-a level of service that is difficult to find on larger cruise ships.

Elegant yet inviting, AmaStella features spacious lounges, beautifully appointed accommodations, panoramic public spaces, and one of the highest staff-to-guest ratios on Europe's rivers. Many staterooms include AmaWaterways' signature Twin Balconies, allowing you to enjoy fresh air and uninterrupted views of castles, vineyards, and storybook villages as they drift by your window.

Dining is an experience in itself, with menus inspired by the regions you'll visit along the Rhine. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients, expertly paired wines, and attentive service create memorable meals from breakfast through dinner. Whether enjoying a leisurely lunch after a morning excursion or celebrating the day over an elegant dinner, every meal reflects the destinations surrounding you.

• Boutique Experience – Just 156 guests onboard create an intimate, uncrowded atmosphere with personalized service.
• Spacious Accommodations – Many staterooms feature signature Twin Balconies, blending indoor comfort with outdoor scenery.
• Award-Winning Dining – Regional specialties, international favorites, complimentary wine and beer with lunch and dinner, and the exclusive multi-course Chef's Table experience. All included.
• Included Excursions – A variety of daily tours are included, from guided walking tours and wine tastings to hiking and cycling adventures, allowing you to explore at your own pace.
• Wellness Onboard – Complimentary fitness classes, a walking track, heated sun deck pool, massage services, and a fleet of bicycles available for guided rides.
• Thoughtful Inclusions – Complimentary Wi-Fi, Sip & Sail cocktail hour each evening, specialty coffees, afternoon tea, bottled water replenished daily, and attentive service throughout your voyage.
• Authentic Local Experiences – From regional musicians performing onboard to immersive shore excursions led by local guides, every day offers meaningful connections with the culture and history of the Rhine.

From the moment you step aboard, you'll discover why so many travelers return to AmaWaterways again and again. It's not just the elegant ship or beautiful destinations that make the experience unforgettable—it's the people, the thoughtful details, and the feeling that every day has been designed to help you slow down, savor the journey, and fall in love with Europe's rivers.
