What people love about Europe Tours for Couples
We just returned from your 11-day Danube cruise and are simply blown away. Thank you for an absolutely flawless and unforgettable journey. Every detail from the fascinating shore excursions to the incredible meals, the five-star service and room service was perfect. A special thank you to the wonderful crew of the MS Fidelio & Crucemundo for making us feel so at home. We created memories to last a lifetime and will be recommending this experience to everyone. This is by far our best holiday experience for both myself, my wife & my 2 sisters. Bravo and thank you! Warm regards, Lee Fook Siong, Betty Hee Wai Chen, Lee Pui Lin & Lee Siew Lian From Malaysia
Danube Serenade: Romantic Journey from Vienna to Turnu Magurele (Bucharest), MS Fidelio
- Danube Serenade: Romantic Journey from Turnu Magurele (Bucharest) to Vienna, MS Fidelio
We thoroughly enjoyed our Danube Serenade cruise last month. The staff, the food, the cleanliness, in fact, everything about the ship was wonderful. The evening entertainment, from the Serbian folk show, the Hungarian music and dance show, the Afrodite music evening, and, of course, the Crew Show, were so enjoyable. We loved all of them. The guides on our city tours were well informed and made our city visits very interesting. The only complaint we had was that we had such a short (and dark) visit to Vulkovar, Croatia. It would have been nice to have at least half a day in daylight there and perhaps half a day less in Budapest. Otherwise, it was a fun and relaxing cruise.
What our customers ask about Romantic Europe Trips & Honeymoon Packages
What are the most romantic cities included in these European tours for couples?
You'll find classic romantic spots like Paris, where you can take an evening Seine cruise and see the glittering Eiffel Tower, and Venice, where you can share quiet moments during gondola rides and dinner at cozy spots like La Fenice. Amsterdam adds its own charm with waterside cafes and evening canal cruises. One TourRadar traveler shares: "The evening dinner cruise in Budapest along the Danube was absolutely magical for couples - seeing all the illuminated buildings while enjoying a romantic dinner was unforgettable." You can stay at places that set the mood perfectly, like the W Hotel Amsterdam with Royal Palace views or the InterContinental Budapest right along the Danube.
What's the best time of year for couples to take a European tour?
Spring (April-May) is wonderful when flowers bloom in Paris and Amsterdam, while fall (September-October) means fewer tourists and nice weather in places like Rome and Florence. Summer gives you long days but bigger crowds. Winter can be really special, especially during the Christmas markets in Vienna when temperatures are around 35°F (2°C). A TourRadar traveler puts it well: "The springtime tulips in Amsterdam and cherry blossoms in Paris created the perfect romantic backdrop for our trip."
Which river cruise itineraries are most romantic for couples?
The Rhine and Danube routes are perfect for couples. On the Rhine between Amsterdam and Basel, you'll float past castles and vineyards in the UNESCO-listed Rhine Gorge. Danube trips connect beautiful cities like Vienna, Budapest and Prague. As one TourRadar traveler remembers: "Watching the sunset from our balcony as we cruised past illuminated castles on the Rhine was pure magic - we fell in love with Europe and each other all over again."
What's the average cost for a couple's European tour?
You'll find quite a range of prices depending on what kind of trip you choose. River cruises with all the extras run about $500-600 USD per person each day. Regular land tours cost between $230-550 USD per person daily. For example, you can do a 12-day European Discovery tour for around $2,940 USD per person, while fancy river cruises like Avalon Waterways start at $4,500 USD per person for 8 days. One TourRadar traveler shares: "While not cheap, the romantic experiences and hassle-free travel made it worth every penny for our special trip."
What are the most romantic dining experiences included in these European tours?
You'll get to enjoy some really special meals together, like dinner cruises in Budapest with views of lit-up landmarks, cozy dinners in Venice's San Marco area, and memorable meals at classic spots like La Coupole in Paris. On Scenic Space-Ships, you can pick from five different restaurants, from casual to fancy, with all drinks included. The Avalon Vista offers dinner at the Panorama Bistro or outside at the Sky Grill. TourRadar travelers often mention the "incredible dining experiences with stunning views" throughout Europe.
What are the most scenic routes for couples who enjoy beautiful landscapes?
You'll see some amazing views along the Rhine Gorge with its castles on cliffs, through the Swiss Alps near Lucerne, and in the pretty Wachau Valley by the Danube. The Glacier Express train through Switzerland shows off mountain scenery, while Ireland's Ring of Kerry gives you beautiful ocean views. TourRadar travelers especially love "the romantic views along the Rhine River with its fairytale castles."
What are the most romantic destinations included in European river cruises?
The Rhine and Danube rivers take you to some really romantic places. Along the Rhine Gorge, you'll see 40 castles and cute towns like Cochem and Rüdesheim. Vienna charms couples with its grand buildings and cozy wine taverns, while Budapest offers spots like the fairy-tale Fisherman's Bastion. One TourRadar traveler says "cruising through the Rhine Valley felt like sailing through a fairy tale with my partner." When you're on the AmaSonata ship, you can have a romantic dinner at The Chef's Table with its warm lighting and intimate atmosphere.
