Have you thought about flying into Paris (much easier to fly into than out of) and then taking the Eurostar to Amsterdam (4.5 hours)? I really, really, really love both Paris and Amsterdam and both are easily accessible by public transit once there.Has anyone done a Christmas river cruise? I’m trying to come up with a trip for November 2026 (my 50th). Initially I was looking at a Greek Isles ocean cruise but that’s definitely the tail end of the season. We’ve only done ocean cruises on Disney before. I know river cruises skew older and I’m not sure if we’d be bored on the ship. Wanting to use URs. My other idea is 5 days in London and 5 days in Paris. But I’ve never been to Greece or Germany/Netherlands.
I'm not a huge fan of cruising, so if I were to do Greece and wanted to do a tour, I'd look at something like Backroads, which has tours for families with kids in their older teens and 20s, which would work well for both you and your daughter. But I'd most likely plan the trip on my own using points and miles (I think that Hilton has some nice SLH properties in the Greek Islands). What about the Maldives? You could definitely use HH points at some amazing properties there, then stop in Europe for a week on your way home (Hilton has the Narcisse Blanc in Paris which looks amazing if you really want a fancy hotel for the big 5-0!).
