Expert Planning for River Cruise Groups

AmaVerde on the Danube
AmaVerde on the Danube

Group river cruising is one of the most rewarding ways to travel—sharing incredible destinations, gourmet dining, and immersive experiences with friends, family, or special interest groups. With over 60% of my business dedicated to river cruises, I have extensive expertise in coordinating seamless and luxurious group trips.


I work with a variety of groups, from close-knit friends gathering for an unforgettable escape to large, passionate communities like a wine lovers’ group that I’ve helped book more than 50 cabins at a time!


This kind of group travel takes careful planning and deep knowledge of river cruise lines, ships, and itineraries to ensure every member’s needs are met and the group experience is flawless.


Whether your group is interested in exploring the romantic Rhine, the cultural Danube, or the scenic Rhône, I’ll help you find the perfect river cruise, handle all the logistics, coordinate special group amenities, and provide ongoing support from the first inquiry to the final toast onboard.


Let me help your group create lasting memories on the water, with luxury service and expert guidance every step of the way.


 


Why Choose a Group River Cruise?Traveling with a group—whether it’s friends, family, or a special-interest community—adds a whole new dimension to your river cruise experience. Here are some of the top benefits:


*Shared memories: Enjoy breathtaking destinations together, creating bonds that last a lifetime.


*Built-in social connection: From onboard dinners to shore excursions, group cruises provide a natural way to meet new friends and enjoy meaningful conversations.


*Group perks: Many cruise lines offer special incentives for groups, such as cabin upgrades, onboard credits, private events, and more.


*Cost savings: Booking as a group often unlocks better rates and exclusive offers.


*Customized experiences: Whether your group shares a passion for wine, history, art, or food, river cruises can be tailored with specialized tours, tastings, or activities.


Why Work With Me for Your Group River Cruise?Planning a group river cruise takes expert coordination to ensure everything flows smoothly and every traveler’s needs are met. Here’s how I make it effortless for you:


*Personalized group management: I’m your single point of contact for all details—from booking cabins and coordinating payments to arranging private tours and onboard celebrations.


*Deep industry knowledge: With over 60% of my business focused on river cruising, and recognition as ASTA’s River Cruise Advisor of the Year, I have insider insights into the best ships, routes, and group amenities.


*Access to exclusive perks: I work closely with cruise lines and operators to secure the best group offers, VIP treatment, and unique experiences you won’t find booking on your own.


*Flexible planning: Whether your group is 6 or 54 people, I tailor the itinerary and logistics to fit your size and preferences, ensuring a stress-free experience.


*Ongoing support: From the initial inquiry through embarkation and even post-cruise follow-up, I’m here to help with questions, changes, and anything else that comes up.

Wonderful Agent
We booked our European vacation, including a river cruise and an additional week in Germany, with Diane over 1 year ago. Who knew Covid would still be so prevalent in our lives. We are in the process of rebooking and she could not be more accommodating. Diane has been there every step of the way, keeping us informed and giving us options. She has been so patient and helpful with our questions, and concerns. Diane is amazing at what she does. She truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her for any type of vacation plans you are considering. She is very knowledgeable and well traveled.

Trip of a lifetime!
We contacted Diane earlier this year to begin our travel plans to Italy. Diane was not only super responsive and friendly but she was also very knowledgeable in the cities we were considering in Italy. She travels frequently to several destinations each year. I think this is a huge advantage when she makes recommendations on travel plans, excursions and hotels.

We gave Diane tentative dates and cities and she was able to quickly put together several options. Everything was handled with exceptional attention to detail.

Our vacation was absolutely perfect. Every hotel check-in, train ride, flight, car service, and excursion went perfectly! Her list of preferred vendors and hotels can not be beat.

We absolutely recommend Diane's services to any one looking for the ultimate vacation experience.

The best trip of our lives!
Diane planned our first trip to Spain and we couldn't have done it without her. She was detailed, quick, and answered every question I had. She planned our whole trip, which included transportation to/from airport, train rides, hotels, and excursions. Diane was fantastic and I highly recommend her.

Above-and-beyond every step of the way
I have known Diane for over 30 years and she is one of the most elegant people I know. So, luxury travel is right up her alley. However, I put our friendship to the test and asked her to find me a "City Slickers" style cattle drive. And she did not disappoint! I am just back from my week on the range and am a better person for it. Not only did she ply her network to find the best outfitter, but she made the initial contacts and set me up with top-shelf travel insurance. 'Cause you never know what's going to happen out there. Upon my return, I thought I left my iPad in airport security and Diane committed to help me out (and I quote) "I will do whatever it takes to make it right for you on my end". She is truly the best of the best, don't think twice about contacting her.

Diane DeWitt Frisch responded:
Thanks so much, Joni - I am so glad that the trip was everything you had wished for! I am glad I could work my connections to find you the best guides to put this together, and that your IPad was so quickly located! Your review means the world to me and I am truly grateful.
