Detailed Itinerary

This is the Ultimate Grand Tour of Europe. Sail clear across the continent, visit seven countries, travel more than 2,200 miles – and unpack only once as you settle onboard your luxurious floating hotel. Trace the routes of emperors and kings as you cruise along the Rhine, Main and Danube. Live the dream of Charlemagne, who 1,200 years ago, dreamed of building a canal connecting the Rhine to the Danube. This is truly the voyage of a lifetime at an unbeatable price.
