Jewels of Europe
15 Day Cruise Amsterdam > Budapest
Grand palaces and fairytale castles A region steeped in the history of ancient trade routes, today the rivers of the Rhine, Main and Danube meander through forested hillsides, idyllic vineyards and romantic towns.Restored castles still stand watch from their position atop dramatic hilltops, just as they did in the days of feudal knights, and land barons. However, today the sites of ancient battles and medieval skirmishes have been replaced by a tranquil countryside, and thriving towns and villages.
Elsewhere, romantic ruins echo with a timeless beauty and Gothic spires rise out of the picturesque communities nestled along the river banks. This is a journey that will take you through the Europe of your imagination, full of wonder, recalling medieval jousts, cobbled streets and childhood fairytales.
