European Serenade River Cruise Vacation

Liz & Peter Wheaton
HOSTED BY: LIZ & PETER WHEATON

As you probably know, European River Cruising has become very popular, and to get group space on the most interesting cruises, with the best sailing dates, space has to be requested well in advance. l am delighted to advise that l have secured 12 cabins on Uniworlds most popular itinerary, their “European Serenade” cruise onboard the “River Duchess”, departing Vienna on September 08/2011 and arriving Amsterdam on September 20th.

This itinerary cruises three of the most scenic rivers in Europe-the Rhine, with ancient castles dotted along its banks, the peaceful meandering Main, and the majestic Danube. From imperial Vienna to cosmopolitan Amsterdam, this first class cruise offers a leisurely vacation to enjoy the ever changing vistas as you glide past vineyards, castles and picturesque villages. You will also have with ample time to spend ashore for personal exploring and organized daily sightseeing tours.

During your journey, you’ll step back in time as you visit towns right from the pages of fairytales-tiny Miltenberg, with its crooked streets and leaning houses, Rothenburg, with its charming core of Gothic churches and gabled houses, Regensburg, an architectural treasure, Bamberg, a UNSECO World Heritage Site, boasting Renaissance palaces, Baroque houses, and unique frescoed Town Hall, and Nuremberg, an archetypical Medieval German city encircled by mighty defensive walls. In Amsterdam you will have time to visit the world famous Rijksmuseum, take a fascinating canal cruise, and discover the many delights of this exciting city. Those seeking history and architecture will find fascinating Roman ruins, Medieval towns and Baroque castles, and story lovers will delight in the myths and legends to be found on this cruise.
