GolfAhoy
What if there was a way to combine golf and wine tastings while visiting some of the most beautiful cities in Europe, such as Paris, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest? Add to that gourmet food every day, paired with sumptuous wines, and top it all off by playing Europe’s leading golf courses that host some of the European Tour marquee events – the Porsche European Open, The BMW Championship, The Solheim Cup, and of course the respective Open Championships of the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary.
Up until now, playing multiple top European Tour Championship courses in different countries in one seven-day trip has never been easy because of the logistics involved. A solution might be to join a GolfAhoy Danube River Golf Cruise. Prague departures are offered by GolfAhoy from April through October each year.
GolfAhoy offers luxury golf cruise itineraries on 193 cruise liners, European riverboats, and luxury yachts worldwide.
European river boats are small in comparison to oceangoing cruise liners. The AmaWaterways AmaMagna sailing the Danube carries 196 guests in 98 spacious staterooms and suites, by comparison Carnival Corp. plans to roll out three new cruise liners beginning in 2029 each weighing 230,000 gross tons with each expected to carry 8,000 guests at full capacity.
The AmaMagna is redefining the river boat cruise experience at twice the width of traditional river boats sporting spacious stateroom and suite accommodations measuring 355 to 710 square feet most with full balconies, four unique dining venues, a sundeck pool and whirlpool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a full-size pickleball court, a complimentary fleet of bicycles on board for guests’ complimentary use, five onboard bars, two fireside libraries, and a chic onboard cinema.
Dining
AmaWaterways’ expert chefs craft menus featuring exquisite locally inspired farm to table cuisine as well as traditional, Western offerings. At breakfast, sip mimosas as you partake fresh pastries, or opt for a full breakfast made-to-order. Stop by the Main Lounge for a light lunch, or head to the restaurant for full menu service and high-quality regional wine or beer. Dinner is a delectable, multi-course affair with wine recommendations that accompany visually stunning, delicious dishes. Try local favorites — like goulash while cruising through Hungary, bratwurst and schnitzel after returning to the ship from Vienna, or Camembert cheese while on the Seine.

5 Tips for a Budget-Friendly Fall Vacation
![Fall Vacation](https://i0.wp.com/d2z0g7klazfonw.cloudfront.net/production/additional_images/23497/16969-fall-travel-detail-intro-image.jpg?w=740&ssl=1)
(Family Features) If you’re looking to get away, fall is a perfect time to plan an escape. With smaller crowds at many popular destinations and more comfortable weather, scenic autumn landscapes and cozy hideaways await.
Planning Your Fall Vacation
To get your planning started, consider these tips to enjoy a spectacular fall vacation without breaking the bank.
Choose a Destination with Beautiful Scenery
When planning a fall vacation, research the cost of living for potential destinations. Some places may have lower costs for accommodations, dining and attractions, allowing you to stretch your budget further. Considering destinations known for their stunning fall foliage, such as New England, can allow you to take advantage of budget-friendly activities, like nature walks or sightseeing, that capitalize on the beauty and charm of the season.
Time Your Trip to Take Advantage of Deals
Timing is key when it comes to finding the best deals. Consider traveling during the shoulder season, which is the period just before or after peak tourist seasons. During this time, prices for accommodations and attractions are often lower and there are fewer crowds. If you have the freedom to choose when to go on vacation, look for off-peak days or midweek travel. Prices tend to be lower during these times compared to weekends or popular travel holidays.
Pack Essentials to Save on Unnecessary Purchases
Packing strategically can help you save money and avoid unnecessary purchases. Consider packing these essentials:
- Layered clothing: Instead of bulky sweaters or coats, opt for lightweight layers that can be easily combined to keep you warm.
- Reusable water bottles: Bringing a reusable water bottle helps you avoid buying bottled water and reduces waste.
- Snacks: Packing snacks like granola bars or dried fruit can help you reduce food costs while you’re out and about.
- Travel-size toiletries: Transfer your favorite products into smaller containers or purchase travel-size bottles instead of buying pre-packaged versions.
Pick Budget-Friendly Activities and Attractions
Popular destinations often offer a wide range of budget-friendly activities and attractions. Consider these ideas that won’t break the bank:
- Hiking and nature walks: Take advantage of the beautiful fall foliage by exploring hiking trails and nature reserves. Many of these outdoor activities are free or have minimal entrance fees.
- Local festivals and events: Research local festivals and events happening during your trip to immerse yourself in the unique culture and traditions of the area.
- Local markets: Explore farmers markets or craft markets to discover unique products and support local businesses. Often free to enter, these markets offer opportunities to sample local food and purchase souvenirs.
- Museums and galleries: Look for museums and galleries that offer free or discounted admission during certain days or times to explore local art and history without spending a fortune.
Save on Accommodations
Finding affordable accommodations during the peak of fall can be challenging, but with these tips, you can save money while still enjoying a comfortable stay:
- Book in advance: Plan your vacation early and take advantage of early bird discounts or promotional offers.
- Consider alternative accommodations: Instead of traditional hotels, explore options like vacation rentals, hostels or bed and breakfasts, which can be more budget-friendly and provide a unique and personalized experience.
- Stay outside the city center: Accommodations located outside main tourist areas are generally more affordable. Consider staying in nearby suburbs or towns and utilize public transportation to explore the city.
- Use price comparison tools: Take advantage of price comparison websites to compare rates across different accommodations to find the best deals and save money on your stay.

![green pine trees in front of a rock mountain. Tenaya](https://i0.wp.com/stmdailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/pexels-photo-131735.jpeg?resize=740%2C491&ssl=1)
FISH CAMP, Calif. /PRNewswire/ — Tenaya at Yosemite is pleased to announce the completion of a 244-room remodel in its main Lodge, along with the addition of new amenities to enhance each guest’s experience.
Tenaya at Yosemite
Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, Tenaya at Yosemite reimagined the era’s timeless charm with a modern touch. The rooms are designed with a focus on warm wood tones and a palette of soothing, earthy colors to create a tranquil haven promising a peaceful interlude from the exhilaration of Yosemite’s great outdoors. Elegant furnishings and soft textures echo the natural beauty of the Sierras, while handcrafted details and understated patterns lend a distinguished nod to the movement’s exquisite design philosophy.
Each lodge room’s headboards, nightstands, desks, luggage bench, and acoustical TV wall panels have received custom upgrades designed by Allen & Philip Partners and built by Samuel Lawrence Hospitality. These new case good furnishings are complimented by Kellex Seating desk chairs, ottomans and sleeper sofas, as well as new lounge chairs by Kovet Hospitality and dining chairs by Sandler Seating.
Tenaya at Yosemite’s lobby and concierge area has also been fully remodeled to seamlessly bridge the guestroom’s new design elements throughout the property.
In addition to the hotel’s redesign, Tenaya at Yosemite has also unveiled new amenities – including a new pickleball court played with grass rules, a new bocce ball court at the Explorer Clubhouse, a new 18-foot rock-climbing wall with Sierra Nevada Mountain views, and a new dedicated canine play area to expand their dog-friendly services.
Among the on-site additions, Tenaya at Yosemite has begun running new shuttles into Yosemite National Park. Tenaya Shuttles takes guests directly into the heart of the park for convenient access to Yosemite’s iconic sights and hikes. Tenaya Shuttles are available to all overnight guests for $39 per seat, with children two and under riding for free, departing from Tenaya’s Port-Cochere at 7 a.m. and returns from Lot 7 at 3 p.m.
“The experience at Tenaya at Yosemite offers an escape from the ordinary and it was important that we carry that overall experience through to our room design and services,” said General Manager, Brett Archer. “We have taken our guests needs into account through the redesign and expanded our on-site offerings with the overall goal of providing seamless service and simplifying their stay. We hope that, through these changes, they can further enjoy the outdoor exploration in our backyard knowing they have a tranquil space to come back to.”
Owned and operated by Delaware North Parks & Resorts, the AAA Four Diamond rated Tenaya at Yosemite is the perfect year-round gateway to a Yosemite National Park vacation. The resort offers three unique guest accommodations nestled along the Sierra pines, including the Tenaya Lodge, The Cottages, and the Explorer Cabins.

For an all-day adventure, Tenaya arranges immersive guided outings into the park with Yosemite 360° Tours, along with an abundance of seasonal activities located on property. For rejuvenation after national park excursions, Tenaya offers full-service treatments at Ascent Spa, and indoor and outdoor pools with cabanas for private service.

(Family Features) After all the planning and stress of a wedding, many newlyweds look forward to celebrating their union by taking the trip of a lifetime.
