Dear UCLA Alumni and Friends, We invite you ride aboard three legendary railways, journey along the fabled Rhine River through its most scenic sections and visit five important UNESCO World Heritage sites. Begin in Switzerland and spend two nights each in the breathtaking Alpine towns of Zermatt and Lucerne. Marvel at the iconic Matterhorn as you travel from Zermatt on the Gornergrat Bahn and cross the mountainous backbone of Switzerland aboard the celebrated Glacier Express. See spectacular panoramic vistas of this glorious area during a ride on a cog railway up Mount Pilatus and a cruise on Lake Lucerne. Then, board the deluxe M.S. AMADEUS DIAMOND, one of the newest and finest ships sailing European waterways, and cruise from Basel, Switzerland, to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. En route, visit Alsatian Strasbourg; straddling the border of France and Germany, the city is a fusion of both cultures. Call in Heidelberg, where Mark Twain began the hilarious recounting of his travels around Europe in A Tramp Abroad, and in Cologne, where the walking tour features a visit to its cathedral, described by Lewis Carroll as “the most beautiful of all the churches I have ever seen, or can imagine.” Joining us will be popular UCLA travel lecturer Fred Burwick. After completing his doctoral studies in English literature at the University of Wisconsin (Madison) in 1965, Fred Burwick returned to his native Los Angeles to teach at UCLA. Among numerous other awards, Professor Emeritus Burwick has been named a distinguished scholar by both the British Academy and the Keats-Shelley Association. With an interdisciplinary approach to literature, Dr. Burwick developed his courses at UCLA to explore the interactions of literature with art, science, music, and theater. As you make your way across Europe, captivating capital cities and tranquil medieval villages truly come alive with the insights of Dr. Burwick, elevating your experience well beyond that of the ordinary tour. Please join us on this extraordinary “Grand Tour” of Europe. Make your reservations today! Sincerely,

Christel Pailet Director, Alumni Travel For further information, please contact UCLA Alumni Travel at 310-206-0613 or 800-UCLAlumni (825-2586).

U.S./MILAN, ITALY/ ZERMATT, SWITZERLAND Wednesday, June 23 and Thursday, June 24 Depart for Milan. Following your arrival, set out by motorcoach on the scenic transfer through the heart of the Italian and Swiss Alps to the tranquil resort of Zermatt, dramatically located beneath the craggy pinnacle of the Matterhorn. Check into the chalet-style Alex Hotel for the welcome reception and dinner.

ZERMATT Friday, June 25 This morning, ride aboard the famous Gornergrat Bahn, the highest cog railway in Europe. Ascend through forests of pine and larch and cross meadows ablaze with wildflowers to the 10,000-foot-high Gornergrat, stopping en route at Riffelberg for the panoramic view of Monte Rosa and the majestic Matterhorn. From the observatory atop the Gornergrat, look out over sweeping vistas of Europe’s most breathtaking alpine scenery—the serrated profiles of the Matterhorn, Liskamm and Dufourspitze mountains and the vast Gorner Glacier. Following lunch, enjoy additional time at the observatory and return to Zermatt at your leisure.

ZERMATT/ANDERMATT/LUCERNE Saturday, June 26 Board the fabled Glacier Express, “the fastest slow train in the world,” and ride through the heart of the Alps. This rail trip showcases both natural and man-made wonders: the beauty of the Alps is rivaled by the skill and ingenuity of the engineers who laid out this route across Europe’s most challenging terrain—a task requiring the construction of 291 bridges and 91 tunnels. Arrive in Andermatt early this afternoon and travel by motorcoach to Lucerne, where

deluxe accommodations await you in the Hotel Schweizerhof, picturesquely located on the shore of Lake Lucerne.

LUCERNE Sunday, June 27 A long-favored destination for travelers, Lucerne is set against the backdrop of its deep blue lake and the rugged grandeur of Mounts Rigi and Pilatus. Begin your morning walking tour in the Weinmarkt (Wine Market), surrounded by historic burghers’ houses. See the Hofkirche (Court Church), one of the finest examples of Swiss Renaissance architecture, and the Lion Monument, dedicated to the Swiss Guards who gave their lives defending Louis XVI during the French Revolution. Walk across Lucerne’s most famous landmark, the quaint, 14th-century wooden Chapel Bridge, which spans the Reuss River and is adorned with medieval paintings. Continue to the foot of Mount Pilatus and ride by cable car to its 7,000-foot summit for a magnificent 360-degree view of the peaks, forests and lakes of central Switzerland. Have lunch in the historic Kulm Hotel. Enjoy free time before boarding the Pilatus Bahn, the world’s steepest cog railway, then descend more than 5,300 feet in under three miles on return to Lake Lucerne. Enjoy a relaxing cruise en route to Lucerne.

LUCERNE/INTERLAKEN/BERN/BASEL Monday, June 28 This morning set out on the scenic drive across the mountainous Bernese Oberland for the charming town of Interlaken, set Cover: Travel through Switzerland’s alpine heart in comfort aboard the Glacier Express. Medieval castles and bucolic terraced vineyards capture the romance of Germany’s legendary Rhine Valley.

AMADEUS DIAMOND and begin your cruise on the Rhine River.

STRASBOURG, FRANCE Tuesday, June 29 The lively Alsatian city of Strasbourg fuses the Old and the New Europe. The Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a treasure trove of medieval houses, and the charming Ponts-Couverts, or covered bridges with watchtowers at each end, span the picturesque placid canals. The graceful sandstone Catholic Cathedral of Notre Dame, a Romanesque-Gothic masterpiece rising, in the words of the German poet Goethe, “like a most sublime, wide-arching tree of God,” and the beautiful Protestant Church of St-Pierre-le-Vieux testify to Strasbourg’s history of religous tolerance. In the Petite-France district, the historic millers’, tanners’ and fishermen’s quarter along the Ill River, the leisurely pace of a past era lives on, while nearby, 25 nations engage in spirited debates in the European Union Parliament. Enjoy lunch aboard ship. The afternoon is free for independent pursuits. Depart from Strasbourg this evening.

HEIDELBERG (MANNHEIM), GERMANY Wednesday, June 30 Depart for Heidelberg, where luminaries such as Goethe and Schumann came to experience the intellectual atmosphere of Heidelberg University, Germany’s oldest, founded in 1386. To many on the “Grand Tour” of Europe, fashionable in the 18th and 19th centuries, Heidelberg was Germany. Nestled in the densely wooded valley of the Neckar River below the fascinating ruins of the 13th-century Heidelberg Castle, this city epitomized the spirit of German Romanticism. Heidelberg has preserved its authentic Renaissance-Baroque character, including the nine arches of the famous Alte Brücke (Old Bridge) that still span the Neckar River. Visit imposing Heidelberg Castle, a magnificent red sandstone edifice perched 330 feet above the river. The stately ruins preserve Heidelberg’s links to its medieval past. Towering spires crown Cologne’s majestic Cathedral, one of the finest Gothic structures ever built.
