How romantic. ❤️

We hope you get the chance soon to have your Monday powered by a Viennese coffee. They are legends for a reason.
Until then, we'll just have to dream about seeing Vienna...a city that really is worth two days on a beautiful river cruise. We love that so many of our favorite partners are choosing to overnight in Vienna so you can enjoy all the Danube has to offer while never rushing to enjoy your exquisite coffee at one of the famous coffee shops.

Porto is the beautiful starting point for many river cruises through the wine country of Portugal.
The Douro river is known for its small picturesque towns, great wines, and quiet nature. You can tour palaces and stroll plazas amidst colorful quaint storybook villages.
But foodies love the Douro for other reasons. No trip would be complete without sipping port and dining at vineyards and country estates before being whisked away by the river to wake up to a new adventure.
We especially love Douro cruises for friends who want to enjoy life together.
There are wonderful values for next summer, making this the perfect time to plan your 2021 exploration.

The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous monuments in Paris.
Sitting at the very Western end of the Champs-Élysées smack dab in the middle of the Place Charles de Gaulle, it's a war memorial honoring those who died in the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. Underneath the Arc is the Tomb of the Unknown Solider from World War I.
Many guests drive or walk past the monument as part of seeing the city.
But, did you know you can actually climb to the top of the Arc for wonderful views looking out toward the Eiffel Tower? While the Eiffel Tower has the more famous platform, for those who want the Eiffel Tower IN their photos, this is a great place from which to get the perfect picture.

Spa Day!
Well, we WISH it was spa day at the lovely Unico 2087. This beautiful outdoor area is located between the men's and women's hydrotherapy circuits. After visiting the sauna, steam shower, cold plunge, and whirlpool, you can meet your honey for some zen relaxation on a Bali bed or plunge pool.
It's a lovely way to get ready for couples massage. Even better, many of the spa treatments are part of the inclusions program making them a great value to add on to your trip.

Stroll the quaint streets, stop for a glass of wine at a cafe, and enjoy the French Riviera.
Nice, France is all about that chic slow summer lifestyle. While we might be missing this summer season, we can't help but dream about the next.
Nice is the perfect stop before or after a river cruise on the Rhone. It's also the perfect base for exploring other areas of the French Riviera by day trip.

Nuremberg: the perfect stop for WWII buffs
This beautiful German town holds huge historical significance for those who love WWII history. As the site of both Nazi propaganda and punishment, it has so much to teach visitors. For those who love to learn from history, we recommend a walking tour from your river cruise to see Zeppelin Field, the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds, as well as the Congress Hall and Documentation Center.
A final stop at Courtroom 600 in the Palace of Justice reminds us that good prevails and justice will be done.
It's a must-see for any history aficionado. We love that after exploring such a heavy topic, you don't have to catch a train to your next destination. Your floating boutique hotel is waiting to whisk you away down the Main canal to the famous Danube river.
