Explore
the heart of Europe as you embark on a 14-night adventure
that traverses the legendary Danube and beautiful Main
and Rhine Rivers. Your journey will take you through the
incredible Main-Danube Canal, which allows continuous navigation
from the North Sea to the Black Sea. You’ll cruise
through some of Europe’s loveliest countryside as
you make your way to historic regions of Austria, Germany
and Holland. Here you’ll enjoy the breathtaking landscapes
and fine wines of Austria’s scenic Wachau Valley,
the dazzling elegance of Vienna and the Old World ambiance
of Amsterdam. When visiting Cologne, be sure to explore
the city’s monumental Gothic Cathedral. In Nuremberg,
discover the city's World War II history. And round out
your cruise with the beautiful baroque abbey at Melk.
