What past childfree group participants have said:

“Traveling can be such a wonderful, life-changing experience…but that experience can be very different when catered to children and not adults. I truly appreciate having come across Katie’s travel company and being able to vacation with other child-free adults. This trip was the start of what will hopefully be many more child-free vacations with the new friends that I’ve made!” – Dréya

 

“Katie has the patience of an angel! Coordinating such a large group can be hectic but Katie made it all a breeze for us! She answered all the questions and provided great tips for first time cruisers. I can’t wait to travel with her again!” – Daliyce

 

“Katie is a wonderful, patient and kind person who could restore the worlds faith in humanity. Passionate about her work and the people she shares her time with.” – Dann

 

“I’ve always talked myself out of going on a Childfree group trip because I didn’t want to travel alone, didn’t want to spend the money, or take time off work. I finally talked myself into going and it was the trip of a lifetime! I had absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Meeting up with the group was like being surrounded by family. It was never uncomfortable or awkward. I had a blast!!! I miss everyone terribly. I cannot wait for our next trip!” -Em

European Christmas Market cruise 2026

Join our childfree group trip to explore the enchanting Christmas Markets of Germany and Austria to get in the holiday spirit!

It’s time to treat yourself to a whimsical getaway of twinkling lights, glühwein, and festive cheer. 

Why Choose a Childfree Group Trip?

We celebrate the beauty of childfree living where you can unwind and rejuvenate in an environment with people that get you. You can take a river cruise on your own, but there is something magical that happens when a group of childfree people come together to share their time.
