Old Friends & New Friends!

We have always enjoyed our vacations and getaways but traveling with a group of like minded people is at the top of our list. We went on a Christmas Markets river cruise with other travel professionals who were also interested in everything Christmas. We do have to say, Europe does Christmas on steroids! If you like going to wineries at home on the weekends, you should definitely go on a trip through the wine country of France. Maybe you like golfing more than the average person, you should go on a trip through Europe's amazing golf courses. You could make a lot of new friends from all over the world. The possibilities are endless!

It is no secret that traveling in groups can be beneficial to your traveling experience. Traveling with people who share similar interests and enjoy the same hobbies is an excellent way to explore new destinations, especially if you didn’t know them before. The concept of traveling with a community of like-minded people has been around for years and is a proven way to ensure that you have a positive river cruise experience.

Sharing personal traits, hobbies, values, and interests are all starting points to building a relationship and developing a connection. Different groups of people have the ability to discover and enjoy new experiences from the same destination. Food lovers will indulge in France's local cuisine, while history buffs and architecture enthusiasts will marvel at the scenic Rhine River Gorge with its fabled legends and many castles. Active or wellness travelers can group together to bike the countryside and seek out beautiful side streets, cafes and shops. There is no right or wrong way to explore a new destination, so long as you are doing what makes you happy.

Being able to share your passion and excitement for a destination or the local culture with your fellow cruisers is what makes a river cruise so memorable. Onboard, you can continue building your relationships as you plot out your plans for the next port of call and explore the various suggested excursions. River cruise lines have curated a variety of unique experiences based on different interests to help cater to every type of traveler, ensuring that you never miss out on the fun. You'll be amazed by how quickly and effortlessly you connect with your fellow travelers as you cruise through Europe!

Even if you are traveling with your own group of friends, you can still mix it up during the day and explore a destination with a new group of guests who share similar interests. At the end of the day, it is fun to swap stories, see the different perspectives, and learn more about the things the people in your group enjoy doing.
