This journey visits 11 countries and includes a fascinating 21-night cruise from Trier, Germany to Romania and Bulgaria, and ends with a 3-night stay at the luxurious Ritz Carlton Hotel in Istanbul.

You will begin your European vacation with Paris, the "City of Lights', then by seeing charming towns and historical castles as you cruise along the Rhine and Main river. Sail along the Romanian/Bulgarian border before continuing to Serbia and through the Iron Gates, a very narrow passage dividing the Alps from the Carpathian mountains. Continue to Nessebar, one of the oldest towns in Europe, before joining your cruise in Romania. See the very best of what Europe has to offer and enjoy the history and beauty along the Danube River before ending your vacation in what was known for centuries as the greatest city in the world, Istanbul.
