Picture this: you’re gliding down the Rhine, glass of local wine in hand, and scenery so gorgeous you’ll be tempted to send postcards to people you don’t even like. Can life get any better? Spoiler alert: it does—because after the Rhine, you’ll be whisked away to the dreamy shores of Lake Como.
Join Suzanne and Steve Klasen of CruiseOne Show Low, AZ for this unforgettable adventure, April 25 – May 6, 2026, aboard Avalon Waterways’ Avalon Vista. From Amsterdam’s lively canals to the storybook castles of the Rhine Gorge and the fairy-tale Black Forest, you’ll be living your best European cruise life. Add in Avalon’s world-class service, panoramic-view staterooms (yes, you’ll have brag-worthy photos), and excursions that make history come alive, and you’ve got a trip that’s equal parts luxury, laughter, and “wait, do we ever have to go home?”
