I’ve had a great start to my summer, and I hope you have too. On Wednesday (July 15), I begin a Danube Reflections river cruise from Prague to Budapest on Tauck’s ms Savor. I’m eager to see how Tauck delivers its top-notch experience, so look for my daily posts to appear in this space.

In late June, I stepped off CroisiEurope’s hotel barge Anne-Marie after a memorable ten days of exploring Provence and the Languedoc-Roussillon region. The barge experience exceeded my expectations — and so did this beautiful region in the south of France. Take a look at my wrap-up featuring Anne-Marie and the experience she delivered to us.
