Dear Iowa Voyagers:
A river runs through history and the land, from the Black Forest to the Black Sea,
enticing you to follow its course through the heart of Europe. The legendary Danube
is Europe’s longest river, passing through eight countries and countless stunning sights.
Go where beautiful blue waters float you through the Wachau Valley, renowned for its
picturesque villages, ancient medieval castles, and lush terraced vineyards. Stay in two of
the Danube's most fascinating cities, Vienna and Regensburg and drink in the
breathtaking scenery as you cruise between them. Begin your trip with two nights in
the German city where the ancient past awaits, Regensburg, a medieval miracle bursting
with historical landmarks. Sense the breadth of 2000 years as you gaze at a Roman
gateway, a Carolingian palace, a mysterious Romanesque portal. From this idyllic
location, travel to Munich and discover this dynamic city nestled under the wing of the
Alps. Then step back in time as you travel on the MS Rossini to the enchanting medieval
towns of Linz, Durnstein, and Melk, renowned for its spectacular Benedictine Abbey.
Then it's on to Vienna for two more nights, the most imperial of cities that offers up a
wealth of treasures. Go where the music and art of this majestic city await, have a slice
of Apfelstrudel, open your ears to the beauty of a Strauss waltz.
The MS Rossini, one of the largest ships on the Danube, is a delightful world unto itself
with every amenity that makes a trip memorable: a restaurant that specializes in
European cuisine, swimming pool and sun deck, fitness room, library, hair salon, bars
and lounges.
For 36 years Go Next has been showing travelers the rewards of travel, the enjoyment
and lifelong memories of a trip well planned and executed. Their reputation for
delivering a wonderful travel experience at an exceptionally good price makes this trip
popular. You are encouraged to make your reservations soon. If you have any questions
or need additional information, please call the Iowa Voyagers at 800/469-2586 or Go Next
at 800/842-9023. We look forward to showing you the glories of the Danube. This
excellent price includes airfare from the Midwest, so it will be popular. Please join us in
2008!
Sincerely,
Diane Baker
Director, Iowa Voyagers
