Fall in love with the romance of Paris and three European rivers!
Rendezvous in Paris - the most romantic city in the world with its charming sidewalk cafés, iconic Eiffel Tower, legendary Louvre, and alluring Notre Dame - before setting sail along three breathtaking rivers: the vineyard-rich Moselle, the castle-laden Rhine, and the meandering Main.
Visit the winemaker's villages of Bernkastel and Traben-Trarbach where you'll discover over 500 years of winemaking history and get to taste the famously delectable Riesling wines of the region. Walk the streets of Medieval Miltenberg, a town that seems lifted from the pages of a fairytale. Discover UNESCO World Heritage Sites while in Bamberg and Trier. Travel along parts of the "Romantic Road" past extravagant Baroque palaces and quaint Medieval walled towns to Rothenburg, with its half-timbered houses and grand fortifications. Then spend time enjoying dynamic Frankfurt with its imposing skyline and historic Römer Square.
Fall in love with old-world Europe as you travel along three of Europe's great rivers, and all along the way be romanced, wined, and dined.

Those longing for the romance of old-world Europe, the excitement and glamor of Paris, and some of Europe's finest wines and culinary delights - all paired with the breathtaking scenery found along Europe's historic waterways.
