NCHS EUROPEAN RIVER CRUISE 2012

Grand European Tour - Amsterdam to Budapest

Imagine 15 magical days along the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers. From Holland's windmill-studded tulip fields to Germany's fairy-tale castles, from the engineering marvel of the Main-Danube Canal to the picturesque vineyards of Austria's Wachau Valley, this epic voyage presents the highlights of Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. Savor a decadent Sachertorte in a Viennese café and panoramic views of imperial Budapest-and along the way, discover the legend of the Lorelei, the ancient art of glassblowing, the music of Mozart and more. Explore some of the most enchanting towns and villages you will ever experience along the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers. You will be able to walk off the ship into the center of town, take one of the excursions included in the cruise fare, take an optional excursion or just explore on your own and mingle with the residents of these quaint European river villages to learn more of the more relaxed way of living these hardy residents enjoy. This wonderful river cruise also offers the unique opportunity to experience and enjoy the robust regional cuisines, wines, beers and entertainment while onboard.
