Delight in the romance, history and rich cultural heritage of enchanting Bohemia on this nine-night land and river journey! Begin with two nights in captivating Prague at a centrally located hotel, followed by five nights aboard an intimate, exclusively chartered river ship, and finish on a high note with two nights in the heart of Dresden’s baroque grandeur. In Prague, head off on walking tours through the old town and Josefov, the well-preserved Jewish Quarter; tour magnificent Prague Castle; and choose from included excursions to the picturesque towns of Karlovy Vary or Ceský Krumlov.

Cruise the scenic Vltava River with stops along the way to visit the impressive castles of Konopište and Nelahozeves and to stroll through 10th-century Litomerice, one of Bohemia’s oldest cities. In Dresden, Germany, take in the elegant royal district, go behind the scenes at its celebrated opera house and get an up-close look at the Green Vault’s dazzling treasures. Along the way, gain insights from expert lecturers and guides, plus try Czechia’s famous beer at a brewery! Includes first-class accommodations and a generous meal plan with wine at dinner.
