Theme River Cruises
by Leslie Russell
Outside from ordinary river cruising, theme cruises offer you the chance to personalize your experience even further. Theme departures afford you a unique opportunity to experience a destination focusing on its music and wine, to enrich your subject knowledge with expert presentations, and to mingle with others who share your passion.
Music River Cruises
Let yourself be musically transported to a symphony of destinations! On a Jazz river cruise, attend the Jazz Festival in Vienne, an annual event on the European and World Jazz scenes. On a Music cruise, local experts provide an overview of European music, and shore excursions include a Strauss concert in Vienna, an organ recital in Melk, and a visit to the Opera House in Bayreuth, home of the Richard Wagner Music Festival. In Salzburg, you can explore the city of Mozart’s birth as well as the stunning countryside where “the hills are alive with the sound of music!”
Wine River Cruise
Expand your horizons on marvelous wine-themed river cruise! Learn the differences between an Austrian Grüner Veltliner and a French Sauvignon Blanc. Aboard these cruises a distinguished wine authority explains how various grape varieties are cultivated, and teaches you what to look for in a good wine. These cruises also offer you the opportunity to visit a wine village and taste the wines to test your newfound talent—an adventure Bacchus himself would enjoy!
