Christmas on the Danube–November 29-December 7, 2008Relish the spirit of the season on a holiday cruise down the Danube River. Begin with a tour of the ancient wine town of Würzburg, reputed to be one of Germany’s loveliest places. See the magnificent Residential Palace and the ornate Alte Mainbrucke. Proceed to the medieval city of Rothenburg, where you’ll board the brand new MS Amadeus Princess and settle in for a relaxing 6-night cruise. Your elegant accommodations include spacious cabins, a panoramic deck, a terrace café, and an onboard orchestra to serenade you with holiday favorites. In your first port-of-call, the toy-making village of Nuremberg, peruse a Christmas market that dates back to 1628! This is the perfect place to pick up traditional gifts such as handcrafted nutcrackers and sample a local gingerbread treat, Lebkuchen. During some leisure time in Regensburg, marvel at the city’s festive decorations and twinkling lights and look for unique ornaments. Continue on to the fairytale city of Passau, situated where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers meet and characterized by ornate baroque architecture and quaint cobblestone streets. Finally, visit Austria’s beautiful capital, Vienna where a guided tour will showcase the city’s impressive landmarks including the Vienna Opera House, Hofburg Palace, the Ringstrasse, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Memories of this European cruise will keep you in the holiday spirit all winter long!

New Orleans Getaway– February 9-13, 2009Immerse yourself in the rich history, cuisine, music, art and ambience of the “Jazz Capital of the World” in this getaway to spicy, lively and beautiful New Orleans. Spend four nights in the heart of the French Quarter listening to great jazz, sampling Creole cuisine and indulging in rich, robust café au lait and sweet beignets. Stroll through the French Marketplace, where you will see the stately St. Louis Cathedral and infamous former pirate meeting places. Enjoy a full day of leisure to explore on your own or take an optional excursion recommended by your professional tour manager. Under the guidance of a chef at the Culinary Institute of New Orleans prepare and enjoy a Creole-style meal and then sit back and relax with an evening of jazz. Bring your imagination to a mask-making class, a long-time New Orleans craft. Board a steamboat in the French Quarter for a river cruise that takes you back to the slower-paced days when cotton-growing dominated life in the South. During a city tour, see the intriguing St. Louis Cemetery, the oldest in New Orleans and scenic drive along the shoreline of Lake Ponchartrain.
