✈️ **Think airfare to Europe is too expensive right now? Think again.**

With all the headlines about higher fuel prices, many travelers assume getting to Europe is sky-high. The reality? Airfare for our **2026 LGBTQ+ Danube River Cruise** may be much more affordable than you think.

I checked sample airfare pricing **today** (including taxes & fees) for travel to our cruise:

📍 **Fort Lauderdale** – from **$828**
📍 **Palm Springs** – from **$815**
📍 **Detroit** – from **$813**
📍 **Indianapolis** – from **$809**

These sample fares are based on flying **into Prague** for our optional pre-cruise stay and returning home from **Budapest** after the cruise.

🌍 **August 29 – September 5, 2026**
🚢 **Private LGBTQ+ Full Ship Danube River Charter**

Join us as we sail through **Germany, Austria & Hungary**, with visits to charming towns, scenic cruising through the **Wachau Valley**, time in **Vienna**, and an overnight in **Budapest**.

🍸 Open Bar
🍽️ All Meals Included
🎭 Exclusive Entertainment & Private Events
🏳️‍🌈 A Full Ship LGBTQ+ Experience

Featuring special guest entertainment, including **Brian Justin Crum**, **Kelly Carey**, and more!

Don’t let airfare concerns stop you from taking the trip you’ve been dreaming about. 💙🧡

This is what you’ll be sailing through…

The Danube is one of those rivers where every day feels completely different—charming towns, historic cities, vineyards, castles… it’s just nonstop scenery.

This sailing goes from Prague to Budapest, so you’re getting some of the most beautiful and iconic parts of Europe all in one trip.

It’s a really relaxed way to travel—unpack once, and everything just comes to you.

If it’s been on your list, I’d definitely take a look at this one 😊

There’s just something about the Danube… ✨

Sipping wine as you sail past vineyards, exploring charming towns along the river, and sharing it all with a great group of people—it really is a completely different kind of travel experience.

This one is especially fun because it’s a full ship charter, so it’s all our group onboard. Between the small group excursions, onboard events, amazing entertainment, and the relaxed atmosphere, it’s incredibly easy to meet people—whether you’re traveling with friends or on your own.

And we have a really great reduced single supplement, so there are already quite a few solo travelers joining us also.

If it’s been on your list, this is a good one 😊

I’m very sad to share that Rick Santamaria passed away Friday night after his battle with cancer.

Many of you will remember Rick from our Post Thanksgiving Cruise where he performed alongside Kelly Carey. Over the years, many of our guests had the chance to get to know him and enjoy his incredible talent.

I wanted to share this video of Rick playing while Kelly sings “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” It’s a beautiful memory of the music and joy he brought to our cruise family.

Rick will truly be missed. If you have a memory or photo with Rick, please feel free to share it in the comments.

This week I’m onboard the Norwegian Encore attending our annual host agency conference and awards. It’s always a valuable opportunity to spend dedicated one-on-one time with cruise line and travel partners from across the industry, learn more about different brands, and continue strengthening the relationships that help me create great experiences for my clients.

I’m incredibly honored to share that during this year’s awards, I was recognized as Celebrity Cruises Agent of the Year for 2025, as well as the Top Producing Travel Advisor for the State of Indiana.

I’m truly grateful to my clients who continue to trust John Heath Travel with their vacations, and to the amazing supplier partners who make these experiences possible. And a special thank you to Daniel for all of his support — and for putting up with the long hours and everything that comes with this business.

Looking forward to bringing even more exciting opportunities and sailings your way!
