Overview
As you cross Europe, this 18-day journey carries you through medieval villages and stately capitals. You feel the lap of Rhine waters against your boat and the cool stone of Lucerne’s mournful lion, breathe the salt-tanged air of the Bay of Naples and hear the soft clink of glasses in Beaune. The route moves from Amsterdam’s canals to Rome’s marble grandeur and Parisian streets where porcelain rattles and conversation spills from cafe corners. By the water, yachts rock gently in Monaco’s harbour while Vatican City brings you beneath St Peter’s dome, where marble and gold glimmer overhead.
Iconic Experience
- Rhineland: Cruise beneath semi-ruined castles and terraced vineyards. Sleepy villages slip by as you saunter upstream to the Lorelei Rock where the enchantress lured sailors to their doom.
- Colmar: Join your Travel Director to explore the heart of Colmar, where colourful half-timbered houses, canal-lined lanes and flower-filled squares give the town its storybook charm. As you walk, you’ll discover why this Alsatian gem has inspired artists, winemakers and visitors for centuries.
- Lucerne: During an orientation with your Travel Director, see the Lion Monument, Old Town Hall and Chapel Bridge, the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe.
- Venice: Discover the ancient skill of Venetian glassblowing and play a part in preserving this traditional craft.
- Venice: As you journey along some of the water highways of the city, famous sights such as the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs come into view and introduce you to Venice before docking near St. Mark's Square.
- Rome: Experience Rome through the eyes of a local, as a passionate Roman guides you past the city's most iconic sites.
- Florence: Join a Local Specialist to view the Multi-coloured marble cathedral, bell tower and baptistery, adorned by Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise. Visit the political heart of the city, Signoria Square.
- Pisa: In the Piazza dei Miracoli, see the baptistery, cathedral and the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.
- Monaco City: Bask in the stunning views on your Monaco Orientation.
- Avignon: View the Pont d'Avignon and walk the medieval narrow streets of the Old Town to the Palais des Papes.
