For anyone eyeing Europe in 2028: @Riverside-Luxury-Cruises just released its 2028 itineraries, including sailings on the new Riverside Mahler, which joins the fleet in 2028. Why I tell clients to book early: River ships are small. The suite you want can be gone more than a year out. Riverside’s early booking savings are already built into the published fares, so there’s no need to wait for a sale. Booking the cruise first makes it much easier to plan the rest of the trip around it. If 2028 is your big Europe year (an anniversary, a milestone birthday, a retirement trip), now’s a good time to start the conversation!
