You’ll cross Europe from Prague to Vienna and on to Paris, pausing among Rome’s timeworn ruins and traveling beneath the pale peaks of the Alps before water laps against your private boat on the way to your Venice hotel. In Prague, perhaps you will walk through the courtyard of the 1,000-year-old Prague Castle and beneath the Gothic spires of St Vitus Cathedral or join a Local Specialist in the historic Jewish Quarter, walking between the weathered stones of the Jewish Cemetery. On the Danube in Budapest, dinner is served as your boat glides past the city’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, glowing across the river while music drifts across the water.
