Indulge in the art de vivre à la française before sweeping across seven countries en route to the sultry heart of Istanbul. This isn’t merely a journey—it’s a symphony of splendor, from the romance of Paris to the grandeur of Vienna, ending in the exotic allure of the Bosphorus.

Your adventure begins with a decadent drift along the Seine, where Monet’s blooming gardens at Giverny await your gaze, and creamy camembert is paired with cider at a countryside farm straight from a fairytale. You’ll even enjoy a private concert in the Gothic grandeur of Rouen Cathedral—because of course you will.

Then, darling, it's time to board the Golden Eagle Danube Express—your chariot of chic. Sip Champagne in Champagne (as one must), glide through dreamy landscapes, and let the sound of live saxophone serenade you inside the glittering Postojna Caves. From vineyard tours to velvet-lined carriages, this is travel that whispers luxury and hums with romance.

Uncover the timeless allure and rich legacy of Southwest France on a journey that’s as intoxicating as a vintage Bordeaux. Glide along the elegant Garonne, Dordogne, and Gironde rivers aboard your floating château, where history, hedonism, and haute cuisine collide in spectacular style.

From the rolling vineyards of Libourne to the aristocratic charm of Cadillac and the storied walls of Blaye, every stop is a love letter to French refinement. Stroll ancient citadels, sample exquisite wines in fairytale châteaux, and explore sun-drenched markets bursting with regional treasures.

Meander along the Route de la Corniche Fleurie—an utterly picturesque drive dotted with windmills and fortress views—or slow the pace in Libourne with a glass in hand and charm in the air. Multiple wine tastings, local market delights, and a heritage walking tour of Bordeaux itself await you at journey’s end.

This, darling, is France as it was meant to be savored: slowly, stylishly, and with absolutely no apologies.

Cruise the Nile as Cleopatra surely would’ve insisted—surrounded by splendor, steeped in legend, and served with a side of sheer fabulousness.

For 12 dazzling days, journey through the land of pharaohs and gods, where every column, carving, and corridor tells a tale of glory. Wander beneath the soaring columns of Karnak, feel the sacred silence of Luxor, and descend into the tomb-strewn Valley of the Kings, where secrets of the ancients await the curious and the bold.

Begin and end in Cairo, where the treasures of the Egyptian Museum dazzle, and the pyramids of Giza rise like something conjured from myth. And starting September 2025, behold the magnificent new Grand Egyptian Museum—a long-awaited jewel at last unveiled.

This is no ordinary escape. It’s an expedition fit for queens, scholars, and those with impeccable taste. Active days, early mornings, and unforgettable moments? Absolutely. Just bring your sense of adventure (and perhaps a fan for dramatic effect).

Families are welcome too—on select sailings, our Generations Program adds youthful wonder to this ageless destination.

Two holidays, four countries, and one gloriously indulgent floating fête—this is not your average winter getaway. This 11-day celebration along the Danube is pure magic, filled with twinkling traditions, elegant revelry, and memories wrapped in gold foil and stardust.

Spend Christmas Eve in Passau, Christmas Day in storybook Salzburg (complete with lunch in the ancient halls of St. Peter’s Abbey), and ring in the New Year with opulence and orchestration in Budapest. Along the way, you’ll visit Bratislava’s charming old town for seasonal Slovak delicacies and raise a glass in an Austrian wine village that knows how to throw a proper party.

Sing “Silent Night” in the village where it was born—Oberndorf—and even meet the Count of Castle Clam (yes, actual nobility, darling). It’s music, magic, and merriment from stem to stern.

This is the season served with sparkle, style, and just the right amount of sass. Whether you're a sugarplum dreamer or a black-tie reveler, this voyage turns tradition into spectacle.
