A River Less Travelled Discover the diverse delights of the Elbe

While the mighty and enchanting Rhine always ranks up there among river cruisers, the Elbe—Germany’s second most well-known river—is quickly moving up the popularity ladder.

A cruise along the Elbe provides a fascinating cultural and scenic glimpse of Germany and Eastern Europe. From Dresden to Hamburg, the river flows through the lush vineyards of Saxony and the striking Sandstone Alps, known as the Saxon Alps. Along the way, the riverbank is dotted with medieval towns and notable cities including Berlin, Dresden, Worlitz and Meissen.

Inside Alaska’s Inside Passage— choose between two show-stopping itineraries

CRUISING ALASKA Flaunting more than 1000 islands, infinite shorelines and multitudes of inlets, coves and bays, Alaska’s Inside Passage is the most famous shipping lane on the planet and a huge draw for cruise ships. From the charming islands and waterways around Ketchikan to the icefields and fjords of Glacier Bay National Park, every cruise itinerary in this part of the world offers boundless opportunities to spot some of Alaska’s most iconic wildlife: Playful humpback whales and orca swimming alongside the ships, brown bears lazing on the shoreline and eagles soaring overhead.
