INTRODUCING BRABANT Welcome aboard the river cruising boat, Brabant. Built in 2006, this stylish, comfortable vessel has everything you need to make your holiday memorable, from bright and spacious public areas and well-equipped bedrooms, to ample deck space from which to enjoy the superb views gliding by. With just four decks and less than 80 rooms and suites, Brabant has the intimate, ‘home-from-home’ atmosphere which Fred. Olsen’s guests have become accustomed to, so your expectations are sure to be exceeded.

With a classic design in the style and ambience of a country house hotel, Brabant is smaller than you might expect, but this only adds to the intimate atmosphere on board.

The open deck, panoramic windows or, if you choose a room with a Juliette Balcony, all provide exquisite views of the passing landscapes. The stunning views are perfectly complemented by the interior of Brabant which include comfortable and roomy public areas, perfect for sharing leisurely drinks with your fellow passengers – absolute bliss.

Gothic Cologne is the cultural hub of western Germany, boasting a beautifully reconstructed old town and the famous twin-spired Cologne Cathedral. If you’re feeling fit, climb over 500 steps in the south tower to witness a well-deserved view of the city’s twelve different Romanesque churches, medieval townhouses, dozens of museums and galleries, and the Hohenzollern Bridge covered in lover’s padlocks, which crosses the wide Rhine river.

Those with a sweet tooth will love the Chocolate Museum (and its accompanying gift shop!) while Cologne’s Botanical Gardens, which dates from the 1800s, has plenty of cacti and plant houses to satisfy the green-fingered Day 3 Cochem, Germany Set at the junction of the Rhine and Mosel rivers, the ancient city of Koblenz is a picturesque place to wander - whether it’s through little squares and flower-filled parks or around the labyrinthine rooms of Marksburg Castle, built in 1117 and the only Rhine castle that has never been destroyed Cruising the Lower Moselle Valley Day 4 Koblenz, Germany Cruising the Middle Rhine Valley Day 5 Cruising the Main Valley Miltenberg, Germany

Austria’s capital city is a hub of musical and artistic talent, being home to Mozart, Strauss and Beethoven in the past. There’s plenty of stunning architecture to go around too: the Schoenbrunn Palace used to be the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph and 40 of its 1141 intricately decorated rooms are still open to the public.

Elsewhere, St. Stephen’s Cathedral is a Gothic masterpiece, with underground catacombs dating to the fourteenth century. Once you’ve had your fill

of history, enjoy a slice of decadent Sachertorte chocolate cake and an evening of opera at the State Opera House Day 13 Bratislava, Slovakia Day 14 - Budapest, Hungary (two night stay) Day 16 The capital city of Hungary is split into two sides: Buda on the west side on the Danube river and Pest on the east. Connected by seven different bridges (including the famous nineteenth century Chain Bridge), they make a city rich in Art Nouveau architecture and filled with living history, seen on buildings pockmarked by WWII bullets.

If you’re not eating local delicacies of stuffed cabbage or bowlfuls of Hungarian goulash, go and catch beautiful panoramic vistas from the impressive Buda Castle and the turrets of Fishermen’s Bastion. Alternatively, indulge in a visit to one of the public thermal baths and steam rooms dotted across the city - Kiraly, Rudas and Szechenyi are all worth a visit Day 17
