Group River Cruise & Expedition Travel Specialists

Above the Current. Beyond the Ordinary.

Luxury river cruise planning for groups. European rivers, Antarctica, Africa, and beyond.

A Seamless Expedition Awaits

At Yellow Umbrella Travel, we believe travel should stir something within you. Not just take you from place to place.

From winding rivers through Europe’s storybook villages to remote expedition routes through Antarctica, we craft experiences that bring you closer to culture, cuisine, and connection. Whether you’re gliding down the Rhine past medieval castles or stepping ashore in Budapest for the first time, every itinerary is hand-selected by our expert team to match your group’s travel style, destination goals, and budget.

We’ve spent over a decade perfecting the art of group travel. Now we’re bringing that same expertise to the world’s great rivers and remote coastlines.

Our planning services are completely complimentary. You pay the same rate you would booking directly. The cruise line pays us.

Our Signature Voyages

Expertly curated group cruises designed for life’s biggest moments.

Milestone Cruises

Retire in style. Celebrate a significant birthday. Mark the kind of moment that deserves more than a dinner party. We plan river and expedition cruises for groups celebrating life's biggest milestones, handling every detail so the guest of honor can simply show up and enjoy the journey.

Girlfriend Getaways

Gather your closest people for a trip you've been putting off for years. A girlfriend river cruise through Europe or an expedition to somewhere extraordinary is the kind of experience that becomes the story you tell for decades.

Corporate & Incentive Travel

Reward your top performers with something they will actually remember. A river cruise through Europe or an expedition to Antarctica changes how people think about their work and the company that brought them there.

Meet the Yellow Umbrella Team

We’re Cheryl and Shea, the husband-and-wife team behind Yellow Umbrella Travel. Alongside our team of nine travel professionals, we’ve spent more than a decade helping travelers experience the world in extraordinary ways.

Today, we match groups to the right ship, the right river, and the right itinerary, then manage every detail from first call to final farewell.

When you travel with us, you get more than a trip. You get a team as dedicated, thorough, and invested in your experience as you are.
