Travel
through the heartland of Germany, along the border of France
and into Switzerland, and cruise the legendary Rhine River.
As you make your journey, you’ll discover the medieval
city of Brugge and the port city of Rotterdam. Explore
the Old World charm of Amsterdam with its picturesque canals
and fabulous museums. In Germany, see grand cathedrals
and fairy-tale castles and sample the Moselle’s fine
wines. Your 12-night cruise truly shows you the treasures
of the Rhine, and it also brings you to Germany’s
Black Forest region, multicultural Strasbourg and the mythical
Lorelei Rock, situated in the narrow passage of the Rhine
Gorge.
