Grand European Tour
Amsterdam To Budapest
It once was the custom for the pampered elite to
embark on a “Grand Tour” of Europe at least once in their lives. This voyage
follows the route that many of these adventurers traveled. It is truly a “Grand
Tour” and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Cruise from Holland's windmill-studded
fields past Germany's fairy-tale hilltop Rhine castles and the vineyards of
Austria's Wachau valley. Follow the blue Danube to Vienna, the “City of Waltzes,”
Slovakia's capital of Bratislava and finally to the imperial beauty of Budapest,
Hungary. Along the way, uncover the legend of Lorelei, the ancient art of glassblowing,
the music of Mozart and Hungary's vibrant Gypsy culture.
