Europe River Cruising & Scandinavia

River cruising in the heart of the European continent is what savvy travelers are doing this season. Adding a Rhine Cruise to your tour of Europe allows you to settle into an elegant stateroom and visit several countries without having to unpack more than once! Consider adding a Danube cruise to your tour-imagine gliding down the second longest river in Europe from the Black Sea to the Eastern Black Forest. Discover the romance of Budapest and Vienna, the mystery of Bratislava in Slovakia and the beautiful monuments of Salzburg. If it's a Rhine Cruise that instills excitement for you, don't fear, there are several itineraries to choose from! Consider cruising from the heart of Switzerland, through Dusseldorf, Germany, to the tranquil canal-lined streets of Amsterdam. If you're interested in fine wines, then you may want to consider cruising the Rhone River to the depth of the French Burgundy region. Visit famous vineyards from Macon to Beaune and taste the wines that make French wines recognized all over the world.

This season, well-heeled travelers are heading north to experience the midnight sun and all the glory of Scandinavia-the hotspot in Europe now. Stockholm is fast becoming a preferred destination for those travelers seeding sophistication and elegance without the crowds. Stroll around the city as it sparkles with water and parks. Visit the Vasa Ship Museum-the world's only surviving 17th century warship. And no trip to Stockholm is complete without a stop at Sweden's National Museum of Cultural History where the popular Abba exhibit may very well become the most entertaining segment of your European vacation!
