Uncover the romance, history and rich cultural heritage of Bohemia on this enchanting 10-night land and river journey! Begin with two nights in timeless Prague and then set sail on an eight-night cruise along the scenic Vltava River, winding past lush countryside and storybook villages. Stop in ports along the way to behold medieval weapons at Konopište Castle and the lavish interiors within the baroque-period Nelahozeves Castle, once home to Bohemian princesses and queens.

Tour the immense Prague Castle’s labyrinth of palaces, churches, courtyards, gardens and its crown jewel, St. Vitus Cathedral. Revel in guided walks through the city’s historic Old Town and Jewish Quarter. Visit the ancient city of Litomerice and spend a day in Dresden, admiring its exquisite baroque grandeur. Choose between included excursions to the spa town of Karlovy Vary or the fairytale city of Ceský Krumlov. Along the way, gain insight from expert lecturers and local guides, savor wines from a castle’s vineyards and enjoy an immersive brewery visit and beer tasting. All meals included aboard your first-class, exclusively chartered river ship—and no single supplement.
