Golfing on the Danube

Let’s be real—most golf trips are a headache to plan.


You’re booking hotels, juggling tee times, organizing group dinners, trying to keep non-golfers entertained… and somehow still expected to enjoy yourself.


What if it didn’t have to be that way?


River cruising is changing the game. It’s like bringing your members on a luxury golf trip without the chaos. You unpack once, float through Europe, play some of the most iconic courses out there, and everyone gets to enjoy the experience—golfers and non-golfers alike.

What’s in it for the golfers?

  • Legendary courses across Austria, Germany, Slovakia, and beyond

  • Tee times, club storage, and transportation all handled

  • Relaxed post-round evenings back on the ship with great food, wine, and good company


What about the rest of the group?

  • While you’re golfing, your spouse or travel companions can explore castles, join a wine tasting, or enjoy a spa day

  • Think walking tours in Vienna, river biking in the Wachau Valley, or sipping local wines in Dürnstein

  • Everyone gets something out of the trip—without feeling like a tagalong


And the ship?

  • It’s a floating boutique hotel with 5-star dining, lounges, and river views from every angle

  • No packing and repacking—just smooth sailing through Europe

  • Built-in time to relax, connect, and enjoy the scenery between rounds

You get to offer your members something unique, upscale, and stress-free—without taking on the planning yourself. I take care of all the logistics, tee times, bookings, and the little extras that make the trip feel personalized.


This isn’t just a golf trip. It’s an experience your members will thank you for—and ask to do again.
