hotels that come equipped with clegant furnishings and
cabins with all amenities. Breakfast buffets, five course
luncheons and fine evening dining, using foods that com-
pliment the region through which you travel, are the
norm. —_
Join fellow river cruisers on land excursions or follow
your own path. Relax onboard and enjoy afternoon tea.
The helpful and informative crew will anticipate your
every need. .

Renaissance glory of cities while allowing time to explore
- quaint villages and castles.

The Blue Danube,

Europe's second longest river, is explored on
one trip. Gothic cathedrals, lush vineyards and medieval
villages are on show, A sample itinerary could include one
of Germany's oldest and most picturesque towns, Passau,
with its cobblestone streets and graceful arcades. One of
the largest pipe organs in the world is located in its cathe-
dral. Another day enjoy the Wacau wine region and its
castles, churches and cobbled streets. Vienna, the centre
of classical music, art, theatre and history is part of the
picture. Budapest and its seven bridges are on show with
a walking tour that takes in the sights of this exciting city.
In Bratislava visit the Castle and the stunning Mirbach
Palace. Melk shows off its magnificent Abbey, a splendor
of Baroque architecture.
- If relaxing in the lap of luxury while taking in a con-
stantly changing landscape and immersing yourself in the
culture of a region appeals to you, then the unhurried

- pace of river cruising is the way to travel.
