What travelers are saying

"We booked an Emerald Waterways river cruise a year ago and paid in full to get a discount. A river cruise was on our bucket list and our travel agent raved on and on about Emerald Waterways. Fast forward to 2020 and the pandemic hit the world hard. We fully expected the cruise to be cancelled and just yesterday it was. I knew that per the terms and conditions that if Emerald cancelled the cruise we were to be offered an alternate sailing date or a FULL refund. BUT, the letter I received said they were "suspending" (not cancelling) all sailings and if I didn't want the future cruise credit I could cancel under their standard terms and conditions. If I cancelled then I would lose a $1,000 deposit! This is a bad faith offer in my opinion. I am so upset with the way this was handled. I understand we are all suffering from the pandemic but Emerald Waterways needs to step up and do the right thing. Rest assured I will not be a future customer of Emerald Waterways."

"We just returned from the Heart of Ireland Tour. The tour was very well organized and we saw a lot of Ireland. But what made the tour really special was our tour guide Mickie. His knowledge of the area and his great personality really put it over the top. He was so friendly and always kept us laughing. This was by far the best vacation we've had in a long time."

What travelers are saying

"I went on this trip with some misgivings, as my only other experience with this type of tour was a winter Tauck Family Bridges tour of Italy, that was not a good experience. Well, I am SO glad I went, as my daughter and I had a marvelous time. Disney did an amazing job of organizing this trip - I still can't believe how much they managed to fit into essentially 8 days. I also can't believe how much fun it all was! The guides were tremendous. First of all, unlike Tauck (where we traveled with one tour manager), here we had two guides with us the entire time - one a licensed guide in Greece (i.e., a native, very knowledgeable about the country and able to really take us through the historical and archaeological sites) and the other an American who has been guiding in Greece for years. The interaction between the guides was very warm, as was their way of relating to the guests. This was a complete contrast with Tauck. Here people really got to know each other, the young people had a great time with each other, and, of course, Greece itself is just magnificent. I will certainly travel with Disney again!"

  • With so many incredible cities and landmarks in Western Europe, prioritize your must-see destinations to ensure you see all the highlights.

  • Take advantage of Europe's efficient public transportation system, including trains and buses, to easily travel between cities and countries.
  • Invest in a portable Wi-Fi device or ensure your phone plan includes international data to stay connected and access maps, translation apps, and travel information on the go.
  • Western Europe is renowned for its culinary delights, so be sure to sample local dishes and delicacies at authentic cafes, restaurants, and markets.
  • While English is widely spoken in Western Europe, learning basic phrases in the local language shows respect and can enhance cultural immersion.
  • Respect local customs and traditions, such as dress codes for religious sites and dining etiquette, to ensure a positive and respectful travel experience.
  • While it's essential to have a rough itinerary, staying flexible allows you to embrace spontaneous adventures and seize unexpected opportunities.
  • Western Europe can be expensive, so set a budget and prioritize your spending on experiences that matter most to you, whether it's museum visits, guided tours, or dining experiences.
