Greetings from 30,000 feet in the air,
Today, I am flying home from Copenhagen to Seattle via Chicago. On Friday, I met a group of 170 Travel With Alan travelers in Copenhagen, Denmark. We spent two nights at the Copenhagen Marriott, right on the main canal, going through the city. The weather was beautiful, and the canal was packed with hundreds of locals swimming, boating, and attending a concert on the spectacular weekend days. On Saturday, we had two canal sightseeing boats pick us up right at the hotel to show us Copenhagen from the waterside. After the cruise, we boarded buses to see Copenhagen from the land side. Our tours ended at Tivoli Gardens, the urban amusement park, where admission to the park was included. That evening, we came to Copenhagen’s famous “walking street” for a great dinner. Yesterday, the group boarded the amazing Seabourn Ovation for a 14-night cruise up the Norwegian Coast, visiting many ports of call along the way with some scenic cruising through the fjords. Today, I am flying home to work on some of our next trips!
This weekend was also busy, with three groups departing for Alaska. This weekend, over 300 Travel With Alan travelers boarded a cruise ship to Alaska to begin an Alaska land and sea tour. Some are doing a 14-day tour, some are doing an 11-day tour, and some are doing an 11-day tour that also includes the Canadian Yukon. We will have three more groups departing next weekend!
Today I am pleased to tell you about yet another European river cruise, this time on Uniworld’s River Princess, from Vienna, Austria to Basel, Switzerland. This 14-night river cruise will take you along three of Europe’s major rivers (the Rhine, Main, and Danube), showing you the best of Austria, Germany, France, and Switzerland. With this cruise, you will not only visit great cities, along the rivers, but when you are cruising, you will pass by castles, churches, small towns, farms, and spectacular scenery. After your cruise, you will have a 5-star experience at the Dolder Grand Hotel (or similar) in Zurich, making for a 16-night/18-day vacation…at a very special “Alan” price!
Join our groups, either on September 1st or October 13th, as we fly from cities across the U.S. and Canada to Vienna, Austria. Upon arrival in Vienna, you will be met and transferred to Uniworld’s intimate River Princess, for your 14-night cruise along the Rhine, Main, and Danube Rivers. The River Princess is designed like a boutique hotel and carries only 128 guests. All of your meals are included onboard as well as snacks throughout the day. On Uniworld, all of your drinks are complimentary including cocktails, beer, wine, soft drinks, specialty coffees and bottled water. Also, on a Uniworld ship, Wi-Fi is included as are all the tips for the onboard staff and cruise/tour director. On top of everything else, our group members will receive a $150 per person onboard credit to spend on anything else!
Most importantly, each port of call includes at least one complimentary tour option to explore the area. In some cities, you may have a choice between a more traditional city tour or a more active tour. A river cruise is all about sightseeing and touring.
Look at all of the cities you will visit:
· Vienna, Austria (2 Days)
· Weißenkirchen in der Wachau, Austria
· Melk, Austria
· Engelhartszell, Austria
· Passau, Germany
· Vishofen, Germany
· Deggendorf, Germany
· Straubing, Germany
· Regensburg, Germany
· Nuremberg, Germany (2 Days)
· Bamberg, Germany
· Volkach, Germany
· Wurzburg, Germany
· Miltenberg, Germany
· Frankfurt, Germany
· Rastatt Landing, Germany
· Strasbourg, France
· Kembs, France
· Basel, Switzerland
· Zurich, Switzerland
At the end of your cruise, you will transfer to Zurich for a city tour and a 2-night stay at the 5-Star Dolder Grand Hotel. Breakfast is also included each day. On September 18th (or October 30th, for the 2nd departure), you will transfer to Zurich’s airport for your return flight home.
Again, we have two dates available for these 16-night/18day tours:
September 1 to September 18, 2023
OR
October 13 to October 30, 2023
As usual, the best part about this deal is the price…just $5699 per person, based on double occupancy. Port charges, government taxes, and fees of $420 per person are additional. This price includes round-trip air from most major US and Canadian airports, all transfers, the 14-night river cruise aboard the River Princess, an upgrade to a “Deluxe Stateroom”, with a large picture window, the two-night post-cruise package in Zurich, and all of the” extras” that I mentioned.
Space on these two departures is limited, and we expect to sell out quickly.
