Day 1
Arrive AmsterdamWe kick off our adventure in historic, yet trendy Amsterdam. Soak up the buzz of bicycles and boats as you explore the old-world capital your way. That could mean joining an optional cruise along its tree-lined canals in a glass-topped boat.Accommodation: Ibis Schiphol
-
Day 2
Amsterdam – Cologne – Rhine Cruise – RhinelandThe natural beauty of the Rhinelands takes center stage today as you head east through the lush landscapes of Germany bound for Cologne.

Arrive later at your hotel in the Rhineland.Accommodation: NH Hirschberg
Meals: Breakfast Dinner -
Day 3
Rhineland – Colmar – Lucerne RegionHistory comes to life as you journey through the vineyards of Alsace to Colmar, which looks like it belongs in a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.

Meals: Breakfast Dinner -
Day 4
Lucerne orientation and free timeYour Travel Director will take you on an orientation tour through Lucerne’s Old Town. Walk along the ancient wooden Chapel Bridge and visit the Lion Monument, which Mark Twain described as the 'most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world'. Let the 'heart' of Switzerland capture yours as you immerse yourself in its history and epic scenery. With a full afternoon to explore this pretty lakeside setting on your own, you may decide to spend it shopping for watches, Swiss army knives or chocolate. You could choose instead to ascend to the alpine heavens, joining an optional scenic cruise across Lake Lucerne to Stans, then traveling by railway and cable car up into the mountains for exhilarating mountain views.Accommodation: City Brunnen
Meals: Breakfast -
Day 5
Lucerne Region – Liechtenstein – InnsbruckBig things come in small packages as you’ll come to discover when you visit the Principality of Liechtenstein.

Earn your bragging rights by visiting one of the world’s smallest countries before continuing to Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol. Here you’ll admire the Hofburg Palace and Golden Roof, gilded in the 16th century by Emperor Maximilian to mark his wedding.

Continue to Venice, once a maritime powerhouse and republic whose influences can be seen across the Eastern Mediterranean.

Tonight, enjoy dinner at your hotel.Accommodation: LH Sirio Venice
Meals: Breakfast Dinner -
Day 7
Venice orientation and free timeTake to the waters of the canal and cruise by private launch to St. Mark's Square, the gateway to the city. Admire the ornate Doge's Palace, the Basilica of St. Mark and the Bridge of Sighs, whose bittersweet views once elicited sighs from prisoners who were unlikely to see their beloved city ever again. There's time on your own to explore the city before we visit master craftsmen at a glassblowing workshop, a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience. Consider joining an Optional Experience to the vibrant rainbow-colored façades of Burano Island.Accommodation: LH Sirio Venice

Meals: Breakfast -
Day 9
Rome Sightseeing and Free TimeWith so much to see and do, you could explore Rome for an eternity without getting bored.

Visit St. Peter's Basilica and view Michelangelo's greatest work, the sorrowful Pietà. The rest of your day is free to explore this magnificent City.Accommodation: Ergife Palace
Meals: Breakfast -
Day 10
Rome – Bay of NaplesThe Bay of Naples beckons and you’ll head south past the Abbey of Monte Cassino, the site of fierce battles during World War II, to Sorrento.

Meals: Breakfast Dinner -
Day 11
Bay Of Naples – FlorenceDon’t miss the opportunity to join an Optional Experience to see the excavations of Pompeii in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Buried under ash when Vesuvius blew her top, Pompeii remains frozen in time and your Local Specialist will reveal what life was like as one of its former residents. Continue to Florence and check in to your hotel for an evening at leisure.Accommodation: Starhotels Vespucci
Meals: Breakfast Dinner -
Day 12
Florence Sightseeing and Free TimeNo expense was spared to exalt the glory of Florence through art and architecture and you’ll see first-hand how this city paved its way to a modern age. Join a Local Specialist this morning for an enthralling account of the city’s history during a walking tour of its historic center, including views of Ponte Vecchio, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Giotto’s Bell Tower and the Baptistery. Visit Piazza della Signoria, the city’s main square where many of the political and artistic treasures of the city can be seen. Admire panoramic views of the city from Piazzale Michelangelo then learn about the quality and workmanship of two of this city's historic industries at demonstrations of Florentine leathercraft and 18-carat gold.

Florence – Pisa – Monaco – French RivieraDon’t resist peer pressure and snap a few strategic photos featuring you and the extraordinary Leaning Tower of Pisa. Admire the Pisan Romanesque Square of Miracles in all its striped marble glory. Its structures are said to symbolise the three main stages of human life – the Baptistery (birth), the Cathedral (life) and the Camposanto (death). Your journey west stretches out to the shimmering Mediterranean coast, where the Principality of Monaco awaits. Keep your cameras at the ready in this home of the rich and famous and attempt to capture the sophistication that seems to ooze from every corner. Next stop, the glamorous French Riviera.Accommodation: Holiday Inn Express Nice Grand Arenas
Meals: Breakfast -
Day 14
French Riviera free timeThere’s no shame in spending the day sprawled out on a sun lounger with a cocktail, but if you can pull yourself away from the pool, you’ll want to join your fellow travelers for an optional exploration of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Life is rather idyllic in this enchanting walled hill-town and, like some of its famous residents, you’ll want to linger here a little longer, but the sun-kissed promenades of Nice beckon. You never know who you might spot seated in those sleek Ferraris and private yachts that dot the French Riviera.Accommodation: Holiday Inn Express Nice Grand Arenas
Meals: Breakfast -
Day 15
French Riviera – Avignon – BeauneA brief brush with the Papacy in the 14th century has gifted Avignon with some of the world’s most incredible religious architectural legacies. The heart of Provence may no longer hold the importance that the Vatican does today, but views of its Palace of the Popes and St. Bénezet Bridge are no less inspiring. Continue to the historic walled town of Beaune, in the heart of the Burgundy wine region and surrounded by the sprawling vineyards of Côte d’Or. You’ll have an evening to get lost in its cobbled streets and sample the region’s famous reds your way.Accommodation: Greet Hotel Beaune, Mercure Beaune Center

Hit its grand boulevards on a city sightseeing tour with your Travel Director. See the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées then spend the rest of the day discovering the city on your terms. Don’t resist the urge to tread in the footsteps of Picasso and Dalí during an optional visit to Montmartre this afternoon, exploring its maze of streets and Artist’s Square.

Your guide, Jon , was great. He knew the different languages, knew where to go for food, was very knowledgeable on all the areas we traveled, was very helpful with anything needed and made our trip fun and easy. The food and hotels were actually better than expected except for one, Amarante Hotel in Cannes.. It was a good location, but no air conditioning, and no hot water on the last day. The staff kept telling everyone that the air would be repaired, but they were not trying to get it repaired. The area where breakfast was served, had water leaks and there were puddles of water that had to be mopped both mornings. Also, this hotel was in bad need of upgrade. The carpet was filthy and the furniture was in need of repair. The lobby was nice and cool, clean and looked updated, but all the halls and rooms were bad.
