Fall 2011
Germany, Luxembourg
aboard the M.S. AMALYRA
Once upon a time, in a land “filled with the marvelous”—medieval castles, dense and mysterious woodlands, quaint villages filled with half-timbered houses and bucolic terraced vineyards—the Brothers Grimm, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Washington Irving were inspired to write of magical characters alternatively bewitching and rescuing real-life people in what have become epic fairy tales and folklore. The remarkable settings in the river valleys of Germany, so colorfully portrayed in these stories, are still happily intact and beckoning to be explored.
We are delighted to present the seven-night cruise of River Life™ along the Rhine, Main and Mosel, a carefully crafted itinerary visiting four UNESCO World Heritage sites and featuring three of Europe’s seminal waterways and Germany’s celebrated wine regions during the best time of year! Cruise aboard the exclusively chartered, deluxe M.S. AMALYRA, one of Europe’s newest and most state-of-the-art river vessels. Our specially arranged excursions explore the region’s rich heritage and Roman history, Bavaria’s Romantic Road culture and daily life in the heart of the famous Rheingau.
Among the many Cultural Enrichments you will enjoy is the exclusive Village Forum™, where local Einwohner (residents) will share personal insights about contemporary life and their cultural heritage along these conduits of commerce. En route, sample local Riesling wine and Bamberg’s distinctive Rauchbier (smoke beer) and learn to speak just enough German to make your interaction with the locals all the more enjoyable. Your cruise is anchored on either end with two exceptional opportunities in which you can choose to participate: a Prague Pre-Cruise Option to visit this UNESCO World Heritage site, one of Europe’s most spectacular cities, and a Luxembourg Post-Cruise Option to visit the only remaining grand duchy, a UNESCO World Heritage site often overlooked by travelers.
This exceptional travel value provides great appeal—all accommodations, all meals and all excursions are included, and you will unpack only once! I encourage you to make your reservations now, while Early Booking Savings are available.
