The sight of classic castles perched high above the river evoke legends of the Lorelei as you cruise along the River Rhine in Germany
Nine countries, 24 remarkable days...
For centuries, the ruling families of Europe preferred riverboating
as the most comfortable and expedient way to hop around the continent – but navigating clear across the heart of Europe by water was just an impossible dream... until the completion of the Main-Danube Canal in the early 1990s. Now, you can do something that all those august crowned heads could never do – cruise almost all the way from the North Sea to the Black Sea – on Tauck’s grand 24-day European adventure featuring a 21-day riverboat cruise aboard ms Swiss Sapphire or Tauck’s
new-for-2011 riverboat... combining Amsterdam to Budapest by Riverboat and Budapest to the Black Sea in one extraordinary
cruise! Visit nine European countries for in-depth cultural discoveries in historic cities along the Danube, Main and Rhine rivers – including Amsterdam, Köln, Nürnberg, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Belgrade and Bucharest – on Tauck’s all-included, privately guided shore excursions. Glide past Gothic cathedrals,

fairy-tale castles and medieval monasteries, through the Iron Gate of the Danube, and transit the same Main-Danube Canal that makes this incredible cruise possible. Special experiences include Tauck’s private gala Imperial Evening in a traditional palace, featuring a sumptuous dinner and musical entertainment, and tours of Schönbrunn Palace or the Hofburg’s Imperial Silver Room in Vienna... a stroll through the ancient cobblestone streets of Bratislava with a local guide... visits to Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, Melk Abbey, Kölner Dom, Würzburg’s Residenz, Budapest’s neo-Classical State Opera House, and Bucharest’s massive People’s Palace... a guided tour of Serbia’s capital, Belgrade... a delightful home-hosted lunch in Bulgaria... a traditional Romanian folk wedding performance in a Black Sea resort... wine tastings, museum tours, and much more... culminating with two nights in Bucharest at the JW Marriott
Bucharest Grand Hotel. Truly a Grand European Cruise, indeed.
