River Cruises
Stop in the heart of the city
River cruising has quickly become one of the most popular ways of traveling. From the waterways of Europe to sailing down the Mekong River, pack and unpack once and watch the beautiful scenery pass by. Find exciting itineraries for all tastes and budgets.
Sail some of the most enchanting rivers like the Douro, the Danube, Rhine, and many others. Hop on and off the ship for included excursions as you dock right in the heart of many of the world’s most fascinating cities.
A river cruise offers a different experience with each season. Spring is a great season to see beautiful flora coming to life, and summer is lovely for walking and exploring. Autumn colors thrive as you wind along the different rivers, and visiting the Christmas markets is a highlight for some people during the winter.


Ocean Cruises
Life is better at sea
The Mediterranean is the perfect getaway in Europe, a mix of old-world charm and a tropical paradise. From the beaches of Spain and Italy to those of Greece and Croatia, the Mediterranean is a European getaway to warmer weather.
With more destinations and routes worldwide, couples and families will enjoy plenty of onboard activities, top-notch shows, and many dining options.
Some of our favorites sailings we love to plan include; the Eastern & Western Mediterranean, Alaska, and the Caribbean.

Group Travel
Difficult to plan
While traveling as a group can be fun, planning a trip can be extremely complex and time-consuming. When you coordinate plans with more than two people, you already know how stressful the process is and how hard it is to please everyone. Solo travelers will benefit from feeling safer by joining a group and discovering new cultures with people of similar interests.
We completely customize your trip based on your group’s preferred travel style, budget, and must-see places. All you have to do is sit back and relax as we take care of everything from researching to booking to communicating with each member.
Here are some types of groups we work with:
- girlfriend getaways
- family & friends
- business owners


Culinary
THE ULTIMATE FOOD TRAVEL EXPERIENCE
Culinary connaisseurs, how can you bring your passion and appetite on your next trip? Food that engages all your senses is the best — the appetizing appearance of the dish, the intoxicating aroma, and of course, the taste.
An ideal culinary vacation should provide you with experiences and excursions to delight your senses. Cooking enthusiasts should skip a typical cooking class and opt for more hands-on culinary traditions with local chefs that make their destination stand out.
We at Pura Vida Vacations help clients gain a deeper understanding of a destination through its food, wine, spirits, and culture, as we firmly believe that travel isn’t complete until you’ve tasted the local cuisine and culinary traditions that make it unique.
