The account of our 30th wedding anniversary trip in June/July of 2014 (specifically June 21 to July 8). 14 days on a river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest; up the Rhine and the Main and down the Danube, with a few extra days in Amsterdam thrown in for good measure. You can see the path (with a certain amount of artistic license) on the map below.
