Land Travel and River Cruising
River Cruising
The World Awaits Along Every Bend
There’s something truly special about exploring the world by river — where each day brings a new view, a new village, and a new story waiting to unfold. River cruising offers an intimate, immersive way to see the heart of a destination, gliding effortlessly past fairytale castles, rolling vineyards, and historic cities right from the comfort of your ship.
At Wish and Wander Journeys, we partner with some of the most respected names in river cruising, including Viking River Cruises and AmaWaterways, to create unforgettable journeys across Europe and beyond.
Viking River Cruises: Known for its elegant Scandinavian design and enriching cultural experiences, Viking offers award-winning itineraries that bring the history and heritage of each region to life — from the romantic Rhine and the storied Danube to the enchanting Nile in Egypt. Imagine sailing past ancient temples and timeless landscapes as you follow the path of the pharaohs.
AmaWaterways: Renowned for its personalized service, locally inspired cuisine, and beautifully appointed ships, AmaWaterways delivers an extraordinary river experience that blends luxury with authenticity. Whether you’re cycling through vineyard trails, sampling local wines in a charming European port, or exploring the wonders of Egypt on the majestic Nile, every moment feels effortless.
While we love working with these exceptional cruise lines, our team can book any river cruise brand that captures your imagination. Whether you’re dreaming of sailing through the castles of Germany, the lavender fields of Provence, or tracing ancient history along the Nile, we’ll help you find the perfect cruise to match your style, interests, and pace.
