Make this holiday season extra special and welcome 2011 in grand style
Let this holiday season be an unforgettable one. Celebrate Christmas in Regensburg, one of the loveliest Medieval towns in Europe, where you will have time to attend Christmas Mass in one of Regensburg's magnificent churches, followed by a grand celebration onboard your ship. Learn how the tradition of glassblowing has remained basically unchanged since the glassblower's pipe was invented some 2,000 years ago, and take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the Bavarian Forest.
We have arranged for a private cocktail reception at Artstetten Castle with Princess Anita von Hohenberg, a descendant of the royal Habsburgs. You'll also welcome the New Year at an exclusive gala dinner and dance in the magnificent Viennese Palais Pallavicini, which traditionally hosts official Austrian receptions for monarchs and heads of state! While here, you'll be treated to a festive dinner and a private concert, at which you can even waltz to the famous tunes of Strauss and Mozart — all in the stylish and elegant ambience of this historic salon.
Three captivating countries and one enchanting river will provide the perfect backdrop for celebrating the holidays in grand style.
Who will enjoy this cruise: Those looking for an extra special way to celebrate the holidays and welcome in the New Year in grand style will be thrilled by this enchanting cruise.
