The Countdown Begins

On the eve of the ninth month of the year, we're starting to get serious about the late September excursion that lies ahead. The trip that lies ahead is probably our most interesting excursion since 1984, when with the former Director of Education we wandered Germany in a beautifully escorted journey. This trip will see us fly from Ottawa-Frankfurt-Budapest to embark upon Viking River Cruises, Grand European Tour.
Features included are:

• 15-day cruise with river-view stateroom
• 13 guided tours with audio headset
• All meals: 14 breakfasts, 13 lunches, 14 dinners, featuring regional specialties and including Welcome Cocktail Reception & Dinner and Captain’s Farewell Dinner
• Visit 9 UNESCO World Heritage Sites
• Culture Curriculum: Glassblowing demonstration; cheese & jenever tasting Bavarian folkloric music performance, German language lesson, The Dutch Masters, The European Union, Great Canals and Locks, Life and Works of Mozart, the scenic Main River, the Rhine and the Danube's lovely Wachau Valley; European Wine Regions...it goes on and on!
