A Grand Tour For The 21st Century
|
Do you know? In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the young English elite often spent two or more years traveling around Europe in an effort to learn more about the language, architecture, geography, and culture of the continent in an experience known as "The Grand Tour".
Viking Cruises has now re-imagined that experience for the 21st century with their 15 day "Grand European Tour" itinerary. Tracing the Danube, Main AND Rhine rivers, it takes you through the heart of Europe from the stunning landscapes of Hungary to the windmill-dotted scenery of Holland, with encounters at every bend.
Here are just four for you to explore in store with Holiday World team.
