OUR HERITAGE ON THE RIVER With roots throughout Europe and along distinctive Austrian and German waterways, a passion for river cruising is a part of our very DNA. Our Co-Founder and President, Rudi Schreiner, grew up in Vienna, at the heart of the Danube River, later venturing to Peru, where he built a raft and set sail along the Amazon River. While Rudi fueled his adventurous spirit, our Executive Vice President, Kristin Karst, was discovering the magic of travel in her hometown of Dresden, Germany, sailing with her family along the Elbe River. A thousand miles away, our beloved late Co-Founder Jimmy Murphy was realising his passions for people and travel from his home in Ireland, planting the seeds for his future career.

Amazon River, Peru, 1975

EXCLUSIVITY AND AUTHENTICITY In 1992, the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal was completed and Rudi’s visionary leadership helped launch the U.S. operations of most major international river cruise companies, later earning him the industry title of the “Godfather of River Cruising.” Under his guidance, each of our itineraries is thoughtfully curated with the most authentic excursions and exclusive experiences just for our guests. Much of our crew also hail from the regions we sail through – unique in the cruise industry. |
