You're Invited: An Exclusive Journey Along the Danube River

Nov 8 - 15, 2026

Melodies of the Danube:
Hosted by Cyndi Smith, Tailor Made Travel Studio and AmaWaterways

I’m thrilled to invite you to join me for an extraordinary European river cruise designed for travelers who crave culture, connection, and comfort. From November 8–15, 2026, we’ll sail aboard AmaWaterways’ new ship, the AmaSofia, exploring Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany along the legendary Danube River.

More than a river cruise. This is your invitation to travel well.

If you love meaningful connections, immersive experiences, and luxury touches, you’ll feel right at home. Whether you're traveling solo, with a partner, or alongside friends, this journey offers the perfect mix of hosted guidance and freedom to explore. With AmaWaterways, you’ll enjoy award-winning service, locally inspired cuisine, and the comfort of unpacking just once in your floating boutique hotel. I’ll be onboard as your travel conductor but this isn’t a structured group tour. You’re free to explore at your own pace, join activities as you like, or simply soak it all in your own way—with the added comfort of knowing you have a friendly face nearby.

What Makes This Journey Extraordinary

  • 7-night luxury river cruise aboard AmaWaterways
  • Visit four stunning countries and only unpack once! Explore Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany.
  • Explore three iconic capitals: Budapest, Bratislava, and Vienna
  • Sail through the breathtaking Wachau Valley, dotted with castles and vineyards

Why This Trip, and Why November?

Late fall is a beautiful time to explore Europe. The pace slows down, the crowds thin out, and cozy cafés start to glow with early holiday charm. This itinerary is perfect for travelers who want meaningful experiences without the stress of planning. Every detail is taken care of so can you just show up, relax, and enjoy!
