New Riches of the Mekong Land Extension
Beginning August 2026, you are invited to explore Central Vietnam with a new optional land extension. The region’s royal history comes to life as you visit palaces and tombs of emperors past, part of your all-encompassing river cruise and land journey.
New Taste of Bordeaux Land Packages
Our Taste of Bordeaux sailings just got even better, as you may now choose to add a new pre- or post-cruise land package to your itinerary. Both land packages include stays at world-class hotels, daily breakfast, guided experiences on shore, convenient transfers between your hotel and river cruise ship with luggage service, and a wonderful Cruise Manager who accompanies you during your journey.
Marvel at Madrid
As an alternative to our 4-night pre-cruise land package in Spain’s Basque Country (2 nights Bilbao and 2 nights San Sebastián) you may instead spend two nights in Madrid and two nights in San Sebastián. The Madrid portion includes a panoramic tour as well as a walking tour to see the Royal Palace, Madrid’s Old Town and Mayor’s Square.
Explore More of Paris
Post-cruise, as an alternative to our 3-night package that includes two nights in the Loire Valley and one night at a hotel in Paris, you may choose instead to spend three full nights in Paris, taking in such landmarks as the Arc de Triomphe and iconic Eiffel Tower. There is also an evening tour of Montmartre followed by an illumination tour that will showcase why Paris is considered the “City of Light.”
