📅 Best Time to Visit – Season by Season

🌸 Spring (March–May)

Europe blooms with color! Mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and lush landscapes make spring ideal for river cruising. Tulip season in the Netherlands is a highlight 🌷🚢

☀️ Summer (June–August)

Long daylight hours and vibrant festivals make summer lively and scenic. Great for outdoor dining, castle visits, and cultural events—but expect warmer weather and more tourists 🏖️🎶🍦

🍁 Autumn (September–November)

Golden vineyards and crisp air create a romantic atmosphere. Perfect for wine tastings in Rüdesheim, scenic strolls in Vienna, and fewer crowds. September is especially delightful 🍷🍂🧣

❄️ Winter (December–February)

Not ideal for river cruising, but great for land-based European holidays. Christmas markets and snowy cityscapes offer festive charm, though most cruises pause during this season ❄️🎄⛷️
