Rhine Getaway

2Burg_Katz_Above_St._Goarshausen_and_the_Rhine_River_Germany - Copy - CopyRhine Getaway Cruise

Imagine fairy-tale castles, grand cathedrals, historic cities, medieval towns and spectacular scenery-you will see all these on one of Europe’s best loved rivers-The Rhine.  From Amsterdam to Cologne and Basel, we sail past ancient vineyards and rolling meadows.

We will be visiting 4 countries on our tour-Holland, Germany, France and Switzerland.  We will get a diverse taste of each.

On a river cruise, we dock in the very heart of each city and have free time to explore on our own.  Imagine, having a coffee at a little sidewalk cafe in each town watching the day unfold.

If a relaxed, culture filled vacation visiting some of the most iconic places in the world is on your bucket list, then join me on this excellent river cruise as we sail down the magnificent Rhine river.

Here are some of the places we will visiting.

Call 919.708.8217 for more details about this cruise.  Reduced airfare from many cities available.

Magnificent Mekong

Asia_Cruise_Junk_in_Halong_bay - Copy

We are revisiting the Magnificent Mekong this year.  What prompted me to promote this tour again was the Smithsonian Institute channel on television.  I was channel surfing and came upon the show about Vietnam and Cambodia.  I have always been fascinated about the Angkor temples in Cambodia.  This Viking river cruise gives us a great itinerary starting in Hanoi, Vietnam and ending in Ho Chi Minh City.  We have stops in Phnom Penh, Angkor Wat, Siem Reap Cambodia as well.

Take a look at this amazing country.  The landscape alone is worth the visit.

Many of our veterans who fought in the Vietnam war in the 60’s are permanently scarred with the memories of the war, but many would like to also see how Vietnam and Cambodia have changed – a step back in time for them.  Let’s join them on the journey.

Hope you enjoy this weeks cruise/tour.  It’s packed with lots to see and do.

Just imagine a Sampan boat ride down the Mekong River!

  • 8-day cruise with river-view stateroom
