Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1: Arrive Amsterdam

We kick off our adventure in historic, yet trendy Amsterdam. Soak up the buzz of bicycles and boats as you explore the old-world capital your way. That could mean joining an optional cruise along its tree-lined canals in a glass-topped boat.

Ibis Schiphol

Day 2: Amsterdam – Cologne – Rhine Cruise – Rhineland

The natural beauty of the Rhinelands takes center stage today as you head east through the lush landscapes of Germany bound for Cologne. Stop briefly to view the Gothic spires of Cologne Cathedral before boarding your cruise down the Rhine, passing a multitude of medi...

Day 3: Rhineland – Colmar – Lucerne Region

History comes to life as you journey through the vineyards of Alsace to Colmar, which looks like it belongs in a Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Its half-timbered houses and cobbled alleyways could tell their own captivating stories. Enjoy time in this living postcard befo...

Day 4: Lucerne orientation and free time

Your Travel Director will take you on an orientation tour through Lucerne’s Old Town. Walk along the ancient wooden Chapel Bridge and visit the Lion Monument, which Mark Twain described as the 'most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world'. Let the 'heart' of ...

Day 5: Lucerne Region – Liechtenstein – Innsbruck

Big things come in small packages as you’ll come to discover when you visit the Principality of Liechtenstein. You can almost imagine the resident Prince surveying his kingdom when you visit its tiny capital, Vaduz. Earn your bragging rights by visiting one of the wor...

Day 6: Innsbruck – Verona – Venice (Mestre)

From Roman ruins to Romeo and Juliet, Verona certainly is the stuff of legends. Stop today in the city that served as a backdrop for Shakespeare’s famous love story. View the very balcony where the fictional Juliet once called for her Romeo and admire the Roman Arena ...

Day 7: Venice orientation and free time

Take to the waters of the canal and cruise by private launch to St. Mark's Square, the gateway to the city. Admire the ornate Doge's Palace, the Basilica of St. Mark and the Bridge of Sighs, whose bittersweet views once elicited sighs from prisoners who were unlikely ...

Day 8: Venice – Rome

Italy’s capital city lies ahead and with it the promise of a journey into an ancient world, a holy empire and remnants of the Renaissance around every turn. Cross the Veneto plains and Apennine hills, admiring the Tuscan countryside as you travel south to Rome. You’ll...

Day 9: Rome Sightseeing and Free Time

With so much to see and do, you could explore Rome for an eternity without getting bored. Get to grips with the city’s main attractions, joining a Local Specialist in the Vatican City, the world’s smallest country. Stand in St. Peter’s Square, sharing your space with ...

Day 10: Rome – Bay of Naples

The Bay of Naples beckons and you’ll head south past the Abbey of Monte Cassino, the site of fierce battles during World War II, to Sorrento. Arrive just in time to perhaps spend the afternoon taking an optional drive along the picture-perfect Amalfi Coast, with a vis...

Day 11: Bay Of Naples – Florence

Don’t miss the opportunity to join an Optional Experience to see the excavations of Pompeii in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Buried under ash when Vesuvius blew her top, Pompeii remains frozen in time and your Local Specialist will reveal what life was like as one of ...

Day 12: Florence Sightseeing and Free Time

No expense was spared to exalt the glory of Florence through art and architecture and you’ll see first-hand how this city paved its way to a modern age. Join a Local Specialist this morning for an enthralling account of the city’s history during a walking tour of its ...

Day 13: Florence – Pisa – Monaco – French Riviera

Don’t resist peer pressure and snap a few strategic photos featuring you and the extraordinary Leaning Tower of Pisa. Admire the Pisan Romanesque Square of Miracles in all its striped marble glory. Its structures are said to symbolise the three main stages of human li...

Day 14: French Riviera free time

There’s no shame in spending the day sprawled out on a sun lounger with a cocktail, but if you can pull yourself away from the pool, you’ll want to join your fellow travelers for an optional exploration of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Life is rather idyllic in this enchanting...

Day 15: French Riviera – Avignon – Beaune

A brief brush with the Papacy in the 14th century has gifted Avignon with some of the world’s most incredible religious architectural legacies. The heart of Provence may no longer hold the importance that the Vatican does today, but views of its Palace of the Popes an...

Day 16: Beaune – Versailles – Paris

From Beaune, we’ll head north to the opulence of Versailles – its splendor and beauty created to reflect the self-proclaimed majesty of King Louis XIV, the 'Sun King'. An Optional Experience could see you visit the exquisite sprawling gardens, the Hall of Mirrors with...

Day 17: Paris sightseeing and free time

The Parisians know a thing or two about beauty, elegance and a life well lived which your full day in Paris will deliver in abundance. Hit its grand boulevards on a city sightseeing tour with your Travel Director. See the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées then spend ...

Day 18: Depart Paris

Say a fond farewell to newfound friends at the end of your holiday.
