October 8 to 16, 2010
Berlin to Prague
aboard the M.V. SWISS CORAL
From the splendid castles of Prague and the captivating beauty of Bohemia, to the Baroque palaces of Dresden and the medieval river towns of Saxony, the Elbe River Valley is a land of incomparable treasures and timeless traditions, a place where the past blends seamlessly with the present. Mozart, Strauss and Wagner premiered many of their greatest works in the grand cities along the Elbe, and the stunning mountainous countryside known as “Saxon Switzerland” has played host to a colorful cast of historic figures from Otto the Great and August the Strong to Frederick the Wise.
We are delighted to offer River Life™ in Saxony along the Elbe, a wonderful way to experience the true essence of life in an entrancing world of hillside villages, clifftop castles and verdant woodlands. Our expert-guided tours explore the treasures along the cobblestoned streets of medieval towns and inside some of Europe’s most splendid concert halls, while enriching lectures and the exclusive Village Forum™ with local residents bring you personal perspectives of the area’s modern life and cultural heritage. With us, you will have ample opportunities to experience the valley’s rich history, traditions and artistic legacy—taste local beers and observe centuries-old porcelain artisanship. You will also learn to speak some Czech and German, making your interaction with the citizens all the more enjoyable.
Complementing this specially-arranged itinerary are accommodations aboard the deluxe M.V. SWISS CORAL, one of the finest vessels to ply the waterways of Europe.
This exceptional value includes all accommodations, meals and excursions as well as the convenience of unpacking only once. We encourage you to make your reservation now, while Early Booking Savings are still available!
