1 December 17 2023 AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS Embark PM -
CULTURE & CANALS
Everyone has an image of Amsterdam. For some, it's
small boats gliding on the canals and locals two-wheeling on bikes to
work and, as frequently, to meet friends for drinks. For others, it's
gabled buildings leaning, seemingly precariously, over cobbled streets
and cozy taverns illuminated by candles. Still others imagine tulips in
bloom and the paintings Vermeer, Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Each vision is
even more beguiling when experienced in person. 2 December 18 2023 AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - 1:00 PM

GOTHIC FILIGREE & BEAUTY
Germany's most visited landmark - the UNESCO-listed
Cologne Cathedral - dominates the skyline here, its magnificent Gothic
twin-spires reaching toward the heavens. Peel your eyes away from the
Kölner Dom, its local name, to see the space needle-like Rhine Tower,
ancient Roman ruins, a modern museum, cozy beerhalls and the arches of
the Hohenzollern Bridge, reconstructed after the war. 4 December 20 2023 KOBLENZ, GERMANY 8:00 AM 8:30 AM
SCENIC CITY OF PARKS & HISTORY
Located where the Rhine and Moselle rivers and three
mountain ranges meet, Koblenz' scenery is unmatched. Add to that the
city's 2,000-year-old history, hilltop fortress and squares lined by
classic Germanic architecture and you have a place ready made for
photos. Ambling along the town's narrow lanes and river promenade, you
might encounter medieval churches, flower-filled parks, sidewalk cafes
and perhaps a weinstube, or wine tavern, ideal for sipping Riesling and
drinking in the atmosphere. COCHEM, GERMANY 3:30 PM 7:00 PM
A STORYBOOK VILLAGE
With its half-timbered buildings, steep terraced
slopes, lush vineyards and a picturesque castle overlooking the Moselle
River, this charming town's riverside promenade allows a chance to savor
the atmosphere of a fairytale come to life. Take in the beauty of the
surrounding hills, sometimes laced with mist, and see bridges spanning
the lazy waters of the river. Perhaps you will feel somewhat lazy
yourself, reluctant to move too quickly through a town seemingly stopped
in time. 5 December 21 2023 TRIER, GERMANY 10:00 AM 11:00 PM
SECOND ROME
Germany's oldest town was founded by Romans and still
bears remarkably preserved evidence of the culture - Roman baths,
amphitheater and the imposing Porta Nigra gateway. It has since become
synonymous with the rolling wine vineyards of the Rhineland that follow
the Moselle, with the commanding 12th-century Eltz Castle standing
guard. 6 December 22 2023 BERNKASTEL, GERMANY 7:00 AM 1:00 PM
HEART OF THE MOSEL VALLEY
A well-preserved medieval town, Bernkastel's colorful
Market Square is among the most authentic and lovely of those that line
the riverside, with a Renaissance-era Town Hall and the bustling
activity of shops and cafes. Don't miss the Spitzhaüschen (pointed
house) that famously towers above the other rooftops. With its ground
floors built narrower than the upper floors, the building appears to
wobble off balance, but has stood strong since 1416. 7 December 23 2023 CRUISING THE MIDDLE RHINE VALLEY LORELEI - CRUISING RÜDESHEIM, GERMANY 2:00 PM 10:00 PM
RENOWNED RIESLINGS
If Rüdesheim's scenic location on the
UNESCO-designated Rhine Gorge doesn't sweep you off your feet, then the
town's medieval Old Town with its half-timbered buildings and narrow
lanes, especially the Drosselgasse overflowing with charming shops and
taverns, surely will. The region's renowned Rieslings, produced here for
centuries from vineyards dating to Roman times, promise to delight, too. 8 December 24 2023 MANNHEIM, GERMANY 9:00 AM 5:00 PM
WHERE INNOVATION FLOWS
The name Benz is synonymous with automotive
innovation, and here is where this legacy began. Also born here was the
“man-powered running machine” (or bicycle), the Lanz Bulldog tractor and
first rocket-powered aircraft, firmly establishing the city as the place
for innovation and industry. The university town is also alive with hubs
of diverse food, drink and shopping, as well as a thriving art and
musical culture. 9 December 25 2023 STRASBOURG, FRANCE 8:00 AM -
THE CAPITAL OF EUROPE
The seat of the European Parliament, Strasbourg is one
of the world's most photogenic towns. It boasts a breathtaking Gothic
cathedral and a remarkable charm that oozes from virtually every cozy
corner of Grande Île, or “Large Island,” the first city center to be
named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 10 December 26 2023 STRASBOURG, FRANCE
