River cruising is the best way to experience the heart and soul of Europe -- and Egypt, Russia, and China.

Cologne, Vienna, Moscow…lilke so many other legendary cities and towns with their great cathedrals and fairy-tale castles, all developed along the great waterways. River cruising brings you "up close and personal" perhaps better than any other way.

Unpack just once in your river-view stateroom and sail from one interesting city or charming medieval villeage to the next, in the luxury of your intimate ship.

No worries about maps, traffic, signs, hotels, car rental, or any of the other hassles of planning your trip. Enjoying the heart of Europe can be totally stress-free!

Pull up and dock directly in the heart of town, and stroll off the ship into the spirit of each town's charming culture, traditions and activities. Enjoy the included excursion - or explore on your on own, on one of the ship's free bycycles.

After a goumet dinner (with complementary wine), be entertained by local singers and folk dancers in the ship's lounge - or explore a local open-air festival (or the Christmas markets in December). Then, wake up In the morning to a new enchanting place!

Anna and I have been to Europe several times. Believe me, this is the best way to experience all the charms of old medieval Europe, and modern Europe as well.
