Great Rivers and Waterways of Europe - 2007
16 Days / 15 Nights
Departure: September 7, 2007
"Cruise the grand European rivers from Amsterdam to Budapest. You will sail from the Amsterdam Canal, along the
legendary Rhine River, through the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, and into the historic Danube — immortalized by Strauss
in his Blue Danube Waltz. You will leisurely cruise through tulip fields, past the windmills of the Netherlands, then by
Germany’s fairy tale castles nestled in wooded mountain hillsides along the Rhine, ending in glamorous Budapest.
Along the way, explore baroque abbeys, ancient castles, and winding cobblestone streets through towns standing as
sentinels to ages past. Experience the baroque elegance of Vienna, “Home of the Waltz,” with its impressive Opera
House and Hofburg Palace. A wonderful opportunity to experience history at its front door."
"Your ultra-deluxe 5-star Sound of Music provides services never before offered on a European river vessel, such as
spa services, a library, and café. Relax in comfortable chairs on open sun decks and watch the passing scenery of
these fabulous European rivers."
