Day 1 (Thu.)
Board your overnight transatlantic flight.
Day 2 Paris, France. (Fri.)
Welcome to Paris! France’s capital on the River Seine, the “City of Light”, where romance fills the air.
Day 3 Paris. (Sat.)
Paris’ famous sights are living history: magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral, the unique Louvre Museum with its glass pyramid as a contrast to its ancient architecture, the commemorative Arc de Triomphe, Opéra, Madeleine, Champs Elysées and the EIFFEL TOWER, a structural miracle of its age. The city is well known for its colorful nightlife including some of the world’s most famous cabaret shows. (BB)
Day 4 Paris-Trier, Germany. (Embarkation) (Sun.)
After breakfast drive to Trier in Germany, where the crew of your vessel awaits to welcome you on board. The Moselle River is some 312 miles long, rising in the Vosges Mountains of northeastern France and enters Germany at Trier. The entire Moselle Valley is famous for its beautiful and tranquil scenery. (BB,D)
Day 5 Trier-Bernkastel. (Mon.)
The venerable Episcopal city of Trier is the oldest in Germany and, some claim, even older than Rome! A house on the marketplace bears the inscription “Trier was standing 1,300 years before Rome.” The famous PORTA NIGRA is the only surviving fortified gate from the original Roman settlement and still gives access to the town center. Trier’s most famous son was the socialist revolutionary, Karl Marx. In the middle of the Moselle region is the charming wine village of Bernkastel with its well preserved half-timbered houses surrounding the beautiful MARKET PLACE. Wine growers in this area look after Germany’s largest expanse of vineyards, the most celebrated of the vintages being the Bernkasteler Doktor. (FB,L,D)
Day 6 Cochem-Coblenz. (Tue.)
REICHSBURG CASTLE, towering above the river at Cochem, can be seen from afar and sits on the top of a conical hill covered in vines. The views of the little town of Cochem, nestled down below, and of the river valley are splendid. Cruising the wide peaceful curves of the river, it quickly becomes obvious that the Moselle is an important wine growing region. Most notably the Riesling grape is cultivated, producing a dry to sweet, floral white wine. Situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle Rivers, 2,000-year old Coblenz is the cultural and business center of the Middle Rhine region. The Deutsches Eck, located on a tongue of land where the two rivers converge, holds a gigantic equestrian statue of Wilhelm I. (FB,L,D)
Day 7 Rhine Gorge-Rüdesheim. (Wed.)
The dramatic Rhine Gorge is the most beautiful stretch of river. Pass the legendary Rock of the Lorelei where sweet songs of local beauties lured enchanted sailors to their doom. Rüdesheim is the perfect example of a Rhine Valley wine town and SIEGFRIED’S MECHANICAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MUSEUM is a real surprise! Explore the Drosselgasse and be sure to try one of the vintages in any of the wine taverns. (FB,L,D)
Day 8 Miltenberg. (Thu.)
Located on the Main River, Miltenberg is a picturesque Bavarian village that thrived on income from river traffic. Its cultural wealth and affluence are reflected in the beautiful medieval and Renaissance houses and the Gothic splendor of the Merchant Hall. (FB,L,D)
Day 9 Würzburg. (Fri.)
Known as the “Pearl of the Romantic Road,” Würzburg is surrounded by sloping hills covered with vineyards. The magnificent BISHOP’S RESIDENZ is a UNESCO World Heritage site. (FB,L,D)
Day 10 Bamberg. (Sat.)
Another UNESCO World Heritage site is medieval Bamberg with its breathtaking cathedral, the Old Town Hall straddling the river, and serpentine streets with charming houses and 18th-century mansions. (FB,L,D)
Day 11 Nuremberg (Disembarkation)-Prague, Czech Republic. (Sun.)
Cross the Czech border in the Bohemian Forest and head for Prague, the “Golden City.” (FB)
Day 12 Prague. (Mon.)
Prague is a 1,000-year old city preserved in time. It straddles the Vltava River with domes, cupolas, spires and pinnacles highlighting its skyline. Best-known treasures are the Old Town’s Astronomical Clock, once the envy of all of Europe, HRADCANY CASTLE, St. Vitus Cathedral, and the Charles Bridge. Browse the shops for hand-cut crystal or art books. Mix with the locals in Wenceslaus Square or stroll along the Vltava River. Your Cruise Director will have more suggestions for things to do. (BB)
Day 13 Prague. (Tue.)
Your homebound flight arrives the same day. (BB) |
