River Cruises 2012 / 2013

4
Today a river cruise continues to be culturally enriching while still being the optimal way of travel, where the world reveals itself to you with its constantly changing scenery along the river shores. It is still cruising but on a smaller scale. A smaller ship with fewer people means you can build lasting friendships. If you are looking for a holiday where you can sit back and relax, enjoy splendid food, learn about the culture and history of the places you are visiting and actually experiencing what is around you then a river cruise will be ideal for you. Where else but on the river can you journey into the heart of the world's greatest cities and towns, and discover the true nature of the land?

Transcript of River Cruises 2012 / 2013

Today a river cruise

continues to be culturally

enriching while still being the optimal

way of travel, where the world reveals itself to you

with its constantly changing scenery along the river shores.

It is still cruising but on a smaller scale. A smaller ship with fewer people

means you can build lasting friendships. If you are looking for a holiday where you can

sit back and relax, enjoy splendid food, learn about the culture and history of the places you are visiting and actually

experiencing what is around you then a river cruise will be ideal for you. Where else but on the river can you journey into the heart of the world's greatest cities and towns, and discover the true nature of the land?

River Danube Budapest Budapest is Eastern Europe's liveliest and most cosmopolitan city. Seven famous bridges, a massive hilltop castle complex & the glorious Matthias Church are among the many sights you can visit.

DurnsteinDurnstein lies right in the heart of the Wachau wine region. Above the town are the ruins of the castle where Richards the Lionheart was imprisoned in 1192.

Vienna Vienna is known as the 'City of Music', which inspired the creative genius of classical composers such as Mozart, Beethoven & Strauss. Austria's capital has much to offer: the lavish Hofburg Palace, Vienna Opera House, the majestic Ring Boulevard and more.

Nuremberg Although Nuremburg suffered extensive damage during WWII, much of it has been restored to its original style. Explore the historic city & its gothic churches & elegant patrician houses.
