2008: Grand European Discovery
A journey of discovery

Combine two great itineraries, the Rhine Discovery and the Danube Discovery, into one Grand European Discovery. Travel along three majestic rivers, the Rhine, the Main and the Danube, where you'll be inspired at every turn. Touch history in Switzerland, France, Germany and Austria. Witness the diverse cultural heritage, medieval villages and imperial cities that have developed with the help of these historically significant rivers.

Admire the cultural and scenic treasures along three majestic rivers

Visit wonderfully-preserved towns offering a glimpse into life as it must have been lived centuries ago. Spend time in magical towns like Miltenberg, with its crooked streets and leaning houses, or Strasbourg's "Petit France" Quarter lined with canals. Explore legendary landmarks - the Niederwald Monument in Rudesheim, the 900-year-old Melk Abbey perched atop a cliff on the Danube, and the UNESCO World Heritage Wurzburg Residenz Palace. Experience recent history first-hand visiting the World War II sights in Nuremberg. And get a taste of culinary diversity while indulging in wiener schnitzel and apple strudel in Austria, savoring world-class wines from the Wachau Valley, and drinking hearty beers from Germany. These are just a sampling of the many treasures and pleasures that await you on a journey following the flow of the rivers on the Grand European Discovery.
