Dear Noble,
Lady Jan and I invite you to travel with us in the fall of 2012 on a relaxing river cruise with Grand Circle Travel along the scenic shores of the Danube River. We'll travel aboard a comfortable river ship, stopping in historic cities and towns, including Budapest, Vienna and Prague. We would be honored if you would join us for what promises to be a memorable journey.
Old World Prague & the Blue Danube
Departure Date: October 18, 2012
12 days from only $3345 including airfare
We hope you'll take part in this exclusive voyage—available for one departure only—during which you'll share in the camaraderie of fellow Shriners. Plus, I'm pleased to announce we'll enjoy two special included features: an open bar during dinners throughout our cruise, and a Strauss and Mozart Concert during our Musical Vienna excursion.
Traveling aboard the M/S River Adagio, we'll set foot in four nations—the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. We'll unpack just once upon boarding, with all meals on the ship included. Enjoy conversing with new and old friends in the bar and lounge, or watching the riverside scenery unfold from the panoramic Sun Deck. Also, you might be interested to know that the readers of Condé Nast Traveler recently named Grand Circle #2 "World's Best River Cruise Line" for 2011, the seventh year Grand Circle has made the "World's Best" list.
Throughout our trip, we'll be attended to by Grand Circle's dedicated, English-speaking onboard staff and gain invaluable knowledge from an expert resident Program Director. In addition to helping us get to know your fellow travelers, our Program Director will give us a candid, insider's perspective on the region's history and culture. We'll enjoy included tours in Old World capitals like Budapest, and Prague, as well as lesser-known gems like Linz and Bratislava, and gaze upon the castle-studded landscapes of the Wachau Valley.
Since your airfare is already included, why not extend your vacation to experience more of these discovery-rich destinations? Choose from a 3-night pre-extension in Budapest, Hungary, or a 3-night post-trip extension in Prague, Czech Republic. Your extensions each include daily breakfast, comfortable accommodations, guided tours, and the services of an experienced Grand Circle Program Director.
Traveling is always exciting, and we're eager to share this River Cruise experience with you. Click here for more information on this unique departure, including pricing, a detailed itinerary, unbiased Traveler Reviews, and more. We hope that you choose to join us—we're in for a special treat.
Warm Regards,
