Dear Friends,
Once again, we are delighted to invite
you, along with other long-time friends
and supporters of Asolo Rep, to spend
seven luxurious days and nights
aboard the award-winning Crystal
Symphony.
J
oin Asolo Rep on
this extraordinary
adventure to travel
in the footsteps of history,
from Berlin to Amsterdam,
where you will explore some
of Europe’s most influential
cities, along with medieval
castles and quaint towns, all
as you experience six-star
luxury aboard the
Crystal Symphony.
Together with Asolo Rep’s like-minded theatre buffs, we’ll
travel Northern Europe through the North Sea, from Berlin
to Amsterdam, all while sailing on the cruise line heralded as
the “World’s Best Large-Ship Cruise Line” by the readers of
Travel + Leisure magazine for 21 consecutive years.
Our ports of call are among the most beautiful and influential
cities in the world: from Hamburg, with its stately parks,
gardens, and streets imbued with WWII history, we
gain access to Berlin, situated to the southeast, and
offering important sites such as the Brandenburg Gate
and remnants of the Berlin Wall. From there, we travel
to Kristiansund on the southern tip of Norway, a top
vacationers’ destination. We’ll then visit Scotland’s
celebrated capital of Edinburgh, dominated by a medieval
castle, other architectural masterpieces, and boasting a
thousand years of history. In Newcastle upon Tyne, we
will see some of England’s loveliest scenery, the ruins
of Hadrian’s Wall, and Grainger Town, the beautiful and
historic heart of the city. We end our journey together in
Amsterdam, with its quaint architectural styles, priceless
art treasures, and a wealth of fascinating sightseeing
opportunities.
Just prior to the journey, we’ll offer a pre-cruise tour option
in Berlin and Hamburg to enjoy unique experiences, specially
designed for our group. And during our voyage we’ll set aside
time to hear from our distinguished speakers, who will lead
us through stimulating discussions about the world of theatre
and the arts, and share their vision of Asolo Rep’s future.
These sessions will be a collective, collaborative experience,
where your presence and participation will complete the
picture.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit extraordinary
places, expand our minds, and build and deepen lifelong
bonds with our fellow Asolo Rep friends.
Please read on and do plan to join us for a fun and relaxing
journey in July 2016.

BERLIN/HAMBURG, GERMANY
KRISTIANSUND, NORWAY
SATURDAY-SUNDAY, JULY 2-3
MONDAY, JULY 4
Docking in Hamburg, you will be introduced to Germany’s
second-largest city and biggest port, with all the confidence
and vivacity to match. A key player in the Hanseatic League
and perpetual magnet for maritime activities, Hamburg is one
of Europe’s most affluent cities, drawing media, publishing
and financial enterprises to its waterside locale. Significant
architecture, waterways crisscrossed by myriad bridges (more
than London, Amsterdam and Venice combined), stately parks
and gardens, and streets imbued with WWII
history make Hamburg a fine destination
for art and history buffs. Hamburg also
lives up to its moniker, “Gateway to
the World,” especially as it relates
to Berlin, situated 180 miles
to the southeast. Decades
after the fall of the Berlin
Wall, the German capital
is vibrant with a sense of
purpose and packed with
important sights. The
Reichstag Parliament,
Checkpoint Charlie, the
Brandenburg Gate
and remnants of
the disassembled
Wall are highlights
of any Berlin
experience.
Kristiansund’s water-surrounded setting, many parks and
museums, family-friendly zoo and vibrant shopping scene bring
culture-minded visitors and outdoors enthusiasts together
in happy coexistence. A walk in Posebyen, Kristiansund’s
old town, offers a look at one of Northern Europe’s largest
collections of characteristic wooden buildings, while the fish
quay presents one of
Norway’s best fish
markets and great
dining options.
Enjoy
EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND
TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY, JULY 5-6
Dominated by a medieval castle on a towering crag,
Edinburgh is the celebrated capital of Scotland and boasts
more than a thousand years of vibrant historical heritage.
The Exchange Building, the famous Royal Mile featuring St.
Giles Cathedral, and the John Knox House, as well as the
Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s official residence, are
only a few of the architectural masterpieces found in this
delightful Scottish city.

WELCOME ABOARD
RECEPTION
Join your distinguished roster of
speakers and other like-minded
Asolo Rep cruisers for cocktails,
hors d’oeuvres, and stimulating
conversation as our incredible
journey begins.
In addition to enjoying
countless shipboard activities
and amenities, we’ll take time
to hear from our hand-picked
group of theatrical experts,
who will lead us through thought-provoking seminars
about the inner workings of world-class theatre. You will
gain insights from some of theatre’s renowned artists, and
exchange ideas and experiences with your fellow cruisers,
who all share a passion for Asolo Rep and the arts.
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
THURSDAY, JULY 7
FRIDAY-SATURDAY, JULY 8-9
Formerly a coal town, Newcastle Upon Tyne is today a hip
and trendy destination, reinventing itself after the heady
days of full-steam-ahead industrialization screeched to the
near standstill of recession. “Geordies,” as the locals are
known, give Newcastle a distinct character—and a practically
indecipherable dialect. The tough life of the Geordies
has imbued in them, somewhat surprisingly, the gift of
optimism, and one they share willingly and generously. The
people are one wonderful draw of the area; another is the
Northumberland coast and the Pennine Hills, home to some
of England’s loveliest scenery and the ruins of Hadrian’s Wall.
For all the appeal of the land, you may find it hard to leave
the city, with its famed suspended-deck Tyne Bridge, graceful
Victorian Central Arcade and charming Grainger Town, the
beautiful and historic heart of the city.
Amsterdam derives its name from a 13th-century protective
dam. It is a beautifully preserved city with quaint
architectural styles, priceless art treasures, and welcoming
people. Many of its wondrous highlights are located within
the five concentric canals that gird the city’s
older neighborhoods and business districts.
Whether cruising its waterways or visiting
its exquisite galleries and museums, you
will discover a wealth of fascinating
sightseeing opportunities. A short drive
away, characteristic towns preserve their
traditional Dutch ways with intricate
national costumes, sturdy wooden
shoes, and purposeful windmills.
HOSTED DINNERS
Spend a leisurely dinner engaged
in delightful dialogue as our
speakers host dinners and provide
yet another opportunity for us all
to get to know one another better
and exchange ideas.
FAREWELL RECEPTION
Celebrate the experience, the new knowledge, and
the new friends you have gained at this farewell gettogether. Mingle with your expert presenters and share
opinions. Enjoy the fellowship of like-minded theatre
enthusiasts, share your cruise experiences, and say goodbye to new and old friends...until next time!
