Follow in the footsteps of the adventurers of
yesteryear as you embark on a “Grand Tour” of Europe. It was once
custom for the pampered elite to make this kind of decadent journey at
least once in their lives, and now it’s your turn. You’ll cruise from
Holland’s windmill-studded fields, past Germany’s fairy-tale hilltop
Rhine castles and among the vineyards of Austria’s Wachau Valley.
You’ll follow the blue Danube to Vienna, “City of Waltzes,” experience
the magic of Slovakia’s capital of Bratislava firsthand, and finally,
view the imperial beauty of Budapest. Along the way, you’ll discover
the legend of Lorelei, the ancient art of glassblowing, the music of
Mozart and Hungary’s vibrant culture.
