Where was our favorite stop on the river cruise?

This is one of the most common questions we're getting about our Budapest to Amsterdam journey with Emerald.

For me, I loved the smaller towns. In Durnstein and Miltenberg we pulled up right across the street from the historic center and could hike from port up to a castle on the hill!

DIY navigation skills really open up the possibilities so we didn't have to wait for a guided activity to start exploring.

We took detailed notes about all the port locations, timings and attractions on included tours, wifi speeds, and more - stay tuned for blog and video updates with that info you're doing this route in the future!

Here are a few more photos from the last days of our river cruise in Cologne and Amsterdam (we had a significant drop in temperature)!

We enjoyed this trip immensely and are thankful we got to share it with a special group of people.
Anyone want to go with us on the next one??
After over a decade of nomad/DIY travel, we're loving this chance to take a break from trip planning, celebrate a special family birthday, and experience Central Europe with a group of family and friends.

We started in Budapest and are making our way toward Amsterdam with Emerald Cruises.

Despite scattered showers and a cold snap moving in, we probably took more pictures on this day than any other - this is just a sampling.

We visited Rudesheim in the morning and Koblenz in the evening, with an incredible afternoon sailing past castles on the Rhine.

We also tried the special flaming Rudesheimer Coffee (actually, we ordered hot chocolate), made in front of us with with sugar cubes caramelized by brandy and fire.
