If you've been on the fence about returning to Europe, I want to tell you that the time is now!

I took this picture a few days ago in Bamberg, Germany. Normally this square would be packed with tourists, but I got to enjoy it like this. I don't know if we'll ever get this kind of opportunity again.

There are still numerous river cruise and escorted tour travel opportunities available, including Christmas Market itineraries!

Don't miss your chance to see Europe without the crowds. Schedule a call with us at calendly.com/paisleytravel today.

Shout out to all my first responders (LEO, Medical, Pharmacy, Fire, Hosptial Staff, and other Front Line)!!!

I chatted a bit about Christmas Markets yesterday and want to make sure you know you can do this for half off this year.

AmaWaterways is thanking first responders and front-line heroes with a free river cruise (with a paying person in the same stateroom), and the Christmas Market itineraries are included. There are other itineraries available through April 2022.

I can get you set up, so give me a call if you're interested. This hasn't been well advertised, so tell your friends!!!

02/10/2021

Great news! The European Christmas Markets have started announcing their operation dates, and many will be open for the 2021 season!

There are still spots available on the 2021 itineraries, many at MUCH lower than average rates, so reach out today to find out how you can experience this gorgeous European tradition.

It's National Book Lover's Day!

Do you know what else I love to do? Travel.

Many of the major river cruises have been sailing again in Europe for a few weeks now, and while a lot of people already have their 2022 and 2023 river cruise vacations on the books I'm sailing this November.

Here are a few reasons why you should consider river cruising in 2021 as well...

1. The prices - With travel restarting there are some AMAZING cruise rates available for the end of 2021, including deals like the BOGO offer for front-line medical heroes.

2. Airfare - Air prices to Europe are rarely this affordable. This is your opportunity to experience a European vacation without airfare doubling the cost.

3. Back to back and land and sea opportunities - If you're like many people, you have some vacation time built up that you weren't able to use in 2020. Between the extra time and the low pricing, this is the perfect time to experience back-to-back river cruises or add a land tour to your cruise itinerary. Because seriously... if you're going to spend 10+ hours on a plane, you should spend some time when you get there.

4. Fewer people - This is your opportunity to travel at reduced occupancy. With fewer people on your river cruise ship and fewer people at popular destinations, like the European Christmas Markets, you can spread out and really enjoy your vacation.

If this sounds like a great deal for you then click the link below to schedule your complimentary planning call and get your 2021 river cruise on the books today!

I'm an avid homebrewer and lover of local and craft brews and will spend the day celebrating by brewing at home with friends and family.

What is your favorite thing to do when you travel?

I'm going to get real here: I LOVE TO EAT.

What is your favorite winter holiday tradition?

For many, it's the European Christmas Markets. These beautifully lit markets offer a variety of handmade crafts, foods, ornaments, and more for guests to explore.

One of my favorite ways to visit these gorgeous markets is via river cruise because it gives me the opportunity to travel to numerous cities and countries on the same trip without ever having to switch rooms.

Why does Paisley Travel focus on river cruise and tour vacations?

The simple answer is value.

Rather than booking your vacation through multiple different travel suppliers (hotels, airlines, excursion companies, transportation companies, and more), which would leave guests subject to numerous different cancellation policies, I choose to work with a few trusted suppliers who have deep roots in the countries they operate in.

This means less confusion, better pricing, and more opportunities for experience for you.
