Plus, don’t miss the magnificent Gothic Cathedral, a World Heritage-listed sight!
Passing through the Rhine Gorge is sure to be one of the highlights of your river cruise. Pass rocky outcrops and cruise around twisting bends to the famous Lorelai or ‘murmuring rock’, where legend claims that enchanting maidens lured unsuspecting sailors to their watery graves. Later, call at Rudesheim, a true Rhine wine town surrounded by vineyards, whose fruits can be sampled in the many taverns around town.

Welcome to Corfu, the most popular of Greece’s Ionian Islands.

Welcome to Dubrovnik, the pearl of the Adriatic.

Welcome to Split! This atmospheric city is stunningly located between coastal mountains and the glistening turquoise waters of the Adriatic. Discover UNESCO site Diocletian’s Palace, amble down the postcard-perfect Riva Promenade and explore the cobblestoned maze of Old Town. Once you’re done exploring, get into the spirit of Fjaka, the Dalmatian art of doing nothing, as you relax at one of the dozens of bars, cafes and restaurants lining the city’s walls.
Welcome to Bar! Just south of Croatia sits stunning Bar, Montenegro, nestled between breathtaking mountains and sparkling sea. The coastal town resembles part Italy, part Austria, part Greece. The city is alive with concerts, exhibitions, book promotions, and festivals. Visit St. Jovan Vladimir temple, enjoy an easy walk along the promenade near the sea, or relax on pebble beaches. Drive to Old Bar (5 km from the sea), the oldest inhabited place in Montenegro.
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea.
Welcome to Naples, the city of the sun. History lovers can’t miss a visit to Pompeii, the home of Europe’s most compelling archaeological site.
