Check out the images from our 2022 River Expo

Dates: March 15–18, 2023
Location: Budapest, Hungary
Venue: We will have accommodation options onboard River Cruise Ships and at a local hotel. (Rates starting at $149)

ASTA and Visit Hungary (the Hungarian Tourism Agency) welcome you to Budapest, Hungary - the "river capital of the world," a premiere port destination along the Danube.

Like the water that pours into the Danube's locks, slowly lifting the ship to a new level, river cruising is on the rise. For clients interested in a variety of high-quality experiences, river cruising offers a deeper engagement with a destination's way of life. It is a great way to expose your clients to destinations they hadn't considered before.

"The ASTA River Cruise Expo, and the rescinding of travel restrictions now occurring around the world - support the reality that the pandemic is fading fast...Travel promotes peace, understanding, and empathy. The opportunity to connect with people and places around the globe will again be realized. Travel advisors will be there to guide, advise, and watch over. All at a time when the bonds of our common humanity are needed more than ever." - Zane Kerby, President & CEO of ASTA.

Event Highlights Include:

Receive first-hand training from the industry's top river cruise trainers
Meet and socialize with the senior leaders of the premier River Cruise brands
Visit and experience the river cruise destinations that will amaze and delight your clients
