West meets East on one grand exploration
Combine "European Serenade" and "Eastern Europe Explorer" into one grand journey in which you'll visit nine countries and experience the best of Western and Eastern Europe.
Sail the romantic Rhine, the meandering Main, and the enchanting Danube from lively Amsterdam to Romania for more than 2,200 miles. As you sail through the heart of Europe, enjoy the natural beauty of vineyardrich landscapes, picture-perfect towns, and Medieval cities, combined with the surprising flavors of Eastern Europe. Marvel at the plethora of UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as Cologne Cathedral, Bamberg's and Regensburg's Old Towns, Budapest's Castle Hill district, the Upper Middle Rhine Valley with its many castles, and the wonderfully scenic Wachau Valley.
This perfectly paced trip truly is the voyage and value of a lifetime, and provides you with an up-close and personal view of sweeping European history from Amsterdam to Bucharest.
