The trip will conclude with a transfer to Calgary, providing ample opportunity for sightseeing.

Glacier Express and Majestic Rhine Adventure

Another inspiring offering is the combination of the renowned Glacier Express and a memorable cruise on the Romantic Rhine. This epic journey begins with a breathtaking ride on the Glacier Express, acclaimed for its stunning alpine scenery, and continues with a tranquil cruise down the Rhine River. This cruise promises picturesque views as travelers float past half-timbered towns and lush valleys, making it a feast for the eyes.

The Beautiful Blue Danube
