“As an artist, this was an amazing trip balanced well with touring and painting.”
“The classroom provided on the ship was great with a lot of natural light. The cruising is so smooth you can hardly tell you are moving at all! This experience was so personalized and Megan [Paint By Destination] and the Amawaterways staff were so attentive to our every need. I will definitely be back to do a river cruise again with Megan [Paint By Destination] and Amawaterways!”

I have so many favorite memories! But one of my favorite days was sitting on deck as we sailed down the Wachau Valley. Also, watching Al, the instructor, create a beautiful masterpiece as it emerges from flowing water and pigment!

“
My recent cruise organized by Paint by Destination was an amazing experience. As a non-painter accompanying my partner, there was plenty for me to do while he was busy at the workshop.
Paint by Destination included me in all their group activities. I truly enjoyed meeting the other people in our group and have made many wonderful memories and friendships.

It was a wonderful trip! I think the hours we spent on boat cruising and utilizing the classroom space at the rear of the boat was perfect.
