West meets East on one grand exploration

Combine European Serenade and Eastern Europe Explorer into one grand journey where you’ll visit nine countries and experience the best of Western and Eastern Europe.

Sail the romantic Rhine, the meandering Main, and the enchanting Danube from lively Amsterdam to Romania for more than 2,200 miles. All along the way, as you sail through the heart of Europe, enjoy the natural beauty of vineyard-rich landscapes, picture-perfect towns, and Medieval cities, combined with the surprising flavors of Eastern Europe. Marvel at the plethora of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as Cologne Cathedral, Bamberg's and Regensburg's Old Towns, Budapest's Castle Hill district, the upper middle Rhine Valley with its many castles, and the wonderfully scenic Wachau Valley.

This perfectly paced trip truly is a voyage and value of a lifetime, and provides you with an up close and personal view of the sweeping history from Bucharest to Amsterdam.

Who will enjoy this cruise: Those yearning for a life-enhancing cultural immersion experience that takes you from the colorful canals of Amsterdam to the re-emerging cities of Eastern Europe.

When you book and pay by 8th March 2010 you will fly free into Bucharest and out of Amsterdam or vice versa.
