The River Edit
Elevated River Experiences, Personally Planned
You don’t have to open 40 tabs to plan a beautiful river cruise.
At The River Edit by Stephanie, every journey is thoughtfully curated so you can feel taken care of from the very first conversation. I specialize in elevated river experiences designed for those who are ready for intimate sailings, walkable cities, unhurried mornings, and immersive moments that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another life for a while.
I’ve done the curating for you, so all that’s left is to arrive, unpack once, and let the river carry you.
Join Stephanie onboard a luxurious AmaWaterways festive cruise, including the chance to visit some of the best Christmas markets in the world!
Spend the holidays taking in all the seasonal charms and delights of the Dutch and Belgian Waterways. Taste rich Belgian chocolates and admire the beautiful architecture and artistry of castles that include Utrecht’s De Haar, Brussels’ Bouchout Castle.
With the holiday season in full swing, experience the glowing waterways of Amsterdam, Brussels and more as cities come to life with strings of lights, festive music and photo-worthy decorations, as well as a few Christmas Markets.
Indulge in an onboard Christmas dinner and local holiday traditions as you sail on the most elegantly decorated ship on the river. As a diverse array of knowledgeable and gracious local guides share each destination’s unique history with you, you’ll return from this cruise having experienced the best of Holland and Belgium during the magical wintertime!

Meet Stephanie
After a career in musical theatre and a season of feeling stuck in a 9–5 that didn’t fit, I realized I didn’t just want to dream about beautiful journeys — I wanted to help create them. Travel planning gave me the freedom to build something meaningful from anywhere, but river cruising quickly became my true specialty.
Today, I curate thoughtfully designed river experiences that blend precision, personality, and insider expertise — so every detail is handled before you even know you need it. If you’re ready to feel taken care of for a change, you’re in the right place.
