The journey

Christmas on the Danube, together

There is something quietly magical about arriving into a European market town at dusk — church bells, garlands of light, the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine in the air.

Aboard AmaWaterways' AmaMagna we unpack once and wake in a new festive town each morning: Passau, Linz, the Wachau Valley, Vienna, Bratislava and finally Budapest. Between market strolls there are long dinners, easy conversation, and the comfort of traveling with a small group that quickly starts to feel like friends.

And you don't have to figure any of it out alone. Mary and La Semilla Travel handle the details, coordinate the group experiences, and are with you from your first question to the moment you step ashore in Budapest.

Everything came together beautifully, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about the details.

Pre-Cruise Land Experience — In the Works

The river cruise may begin in Vilshofen, but our La Semilla Travel experience may begin before we ever step aboard AmaMagna.

We're currently developing a special pre-cruise land experience for our group. Details are still being thoughtfully planned, and we'll share the complete itinerary with our travelers as soon as it is finalized.

Planning to Use Points or Miles?

We're thinking ahead about flights, too.

We'll let our group know when airline schedules begin opening for our December 2027 travel dates so travelers hoping to use airline points or miles can begin looking for award availability as early as possible.

Award seats — especially premium cabin and business-class award seats — can be limited, so we'll give our group a heads-up when it's time to start watching.
