  • Gain a cultural and historical understanding of Prague by walking through Old Town, exploring Prague Castle, browsing the National Museum, touring a downtown brewery and dining at a Michelin-awarded restaurant.

    Note: this program begins in Prague, Czech Republic and ends in Civitavecchia, Italy, where guests will embark the ship. Guests will need to fly into Prague (PRG) to begin this program. An economy class internal flight from Prague to Rome on Day 4 is included in this program and will be booked by RSSC’s air department.

    Special Note: Some sites have steps and may not be wheelchair accessible. This program is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or if a wheelchair or walker is required. Specifically, the Staropramen Brewery, Prague Castle, Strahov Monastery, and Historical Tram/Car are not wheelchair accessible.

    DAY 1

    After arriving at the Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG), you will be met in the arrival hall and transferred to your

    hotel with an English-speaking guide. Check-in at the hotel is at 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available sooner, this cannot be guaranteed.

    Your hotel which features views of Prague Castle, is located on the banks of the Vltava River, in the heart of Prague’s Old Town. The 14th Century Old Town Hall is a 10 minute walk from the hotel and The Jewish Quarter and the Parizska shopping street are right next to the hotel.

    As the remainder of the day will be at leisure with meals on your own, you may wish to ask the hospitality desk to suggest activities and restaurants. You will spend the evening at the President Hotel or similar.

    DAY 2

    After breakfast at the hotel, you will begin a walking tour through the cobblestoned streets of Old Town. This area was founded as a market in the 10th century and many of the buildings are incredibly historical, such as the Powder Tower, one of the original 13 entrances to Old Town. Jews were among the earliest settlers and the synagogue that they built in Old Town is the oldest in central Europe. In the early 20th century, the original Jewish ghetto was beautifully rebuilt in an Art Nouveau style.

    Following your exploration of Old Town, you will head to Staropramen for an insider’s tour of the brewery. You will then be treated to a tasting of up to four beers that may include a premium pilsner, an unfiltered wheat beer and a dark lager with hint of caramel and chocolate.

    After lunch at the brewery, you will return to the hotel and spend the remainder of the day at leisure. Dinner will be on your own this evening.

    Note: If this day falls on a Sunday or Monday, a visit will be made to U Medvidku Brewery as Staropramen is closed on these days.

    DAY 3

    Following breakfast at the hotel, you will board a historical tram (or a historical car for groups of fewer than 10 guests) and ride through Old Town, seeing different attractions than those from the previous day. An inside visit of Strahov Library will reveal its architectural splendor, ceiling frescoes and enormous collection of 200,000 volumes.

    You will then walk to Prague Castle, the largest medieval castle complex in Europe. The entire surrounding area is a UNESCO World Heritage site where you will see attractions that may include the Gothic-style St. Vitus Cathedral, several palaces, a monastery and St. George´s Basilica.

    Lunch follows at Mlynec Restaurant, whose chef was the first in the Czech Republic to receive the Michelin Bib Gourmand Award three times.

    Later in the afternoon, you will browse the National Museum, the largest museum in the Czech Republic. The collection is so large that it is contained in two buildings that an underground tunnel connects. One of the most popular exhibits is the skeleton of a massive fin whale that hangs from the ceiling.

    After browsing the museum, you will return to the hotel. The remainder of the day will be at leisure with dinner on your own.

    DAY 4

    After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will take a private transfer to the Prague airport with an English-speaking guide's assistance. You will then fly to Rome (FCU) and transfer to the ship in Civitavecchia.

    Note: Guests are not accompanied on this flight.

    If any flight delays are encountered while enroute, guests should proceed to the airline counter for updates. Downloading the free airline app will also keep guests current of any changes and in the event of a cancellation or delay, the airline will notify them, via the app, of their new schedule.

  • Enjoy the unique opportunity to visit two of the most precious and sacred sites which lie in the most beautiful and unspoiled parts of Northern Greece.

    NOTE: This is an extensive 4-day program that covers a lot of ground both on foot and by luxury coach. There is a lot of driving involved. This tour is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties due to the amount of walking, steps and uneven ground.

    DAY 1

    Upon disembarkation from your ship, board your coach for the scenic drive to Delphi. This beautiful drive into the land of central Greece will bring you to the magnificent site of Delphi.

    Delphi was considered by the ancients to be the physical and spiritual centers of the earth. This shrine of Apollo set nearly 2.000 feet up on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Here was the most respected oracle of antiquity. Even the most intelligent men, who lived during the brilliant civilization of Athens, believed implicitly in the responses of the god. These were given by the inspired priestess, the Pythia, and were interpreted, usually with an ambiguous touch, by the priests. Delphi grew fabulously rich with offerings, and though they have almost all disappeared now, you can admire the ruins and try to picture it as it was during its 1.000 prestigious years.

    Walk up the Sacred Way past the beautiful small Treasuries to the Temple of Apollo, location of the oracle; continue to the Museum with its superb collection of votive offerings and statues, including the world-famous Charioteer. A traditional country lunch will be offered at the nearby village of Arachova.

    Following lunch, you will board your coach and commence the drive to the town of Kalambaka. Kalamaba is the picturesque town that sits at the foot of Meteora. After checking in to the hotel, dinner will be served, and the evening will be at your leisure.

    Overnight at the Divani Meteora Hotel or similar hotel

    DAY 2

    After breakfast, you will check-out of the hotel and board your coach for the visit of the Meteora Monasteries. Admire the extraordinary rocks of Meteora which were formed as a result of the force of the nature and they appear to be suspended in the sky, crested with the celebrated monasteries. Today only six monasteries are inhabited, two of which have become nunneries. You are invited to delve into two of these remarkable phenomena, seemingly floating in the sky and serving as an example of the post-Byzantine era.

    NOTE: Scheduled visits are for the Monastery of the Great Meteoron “Megalo Meteoro” and The Nunnery of St. Stefanos “Agiou Stefanou”. Should one be closed it will be substituted with Moni Varlaam.

    Steps vary from one to the other - The Monastery of the Great Meteoron has approximately 200 steps, St.Stefanos Monastery has approximately 10 steps and Moni Varlaam has approximately 80 steps. Coaches are able to drop off guests approximately 300- 500 feet from each Monastery.

    After the visit of the Monasteries, you will commence your drive to Athens. A lunch stop will be made along the way. Arriving in Athens, you will proceed directly to your hotel for check-in.

    In the evening you will be met by your guide and you will transfer to the picturesque Mikrolimano area in Piraeus where you will dine at Varoulko Restaurant. Lefteris Lazarou, Greece’s top-awarded Michelin Star Chef, created the restaurant’s menu so you will not be disappointed in this fantastic dining experience.

    Overnight at the Divani Caravel Hotel or similar hotel.

    DAY 3

    Following breakfast at your hotel, begin your day with a visit to the famous site of the Acropolis. En route you will drive by Constitution Square, the House of Parliament, the Neo-Classical style university buildings, the Royal Palace and the Old Olympic Stadium of Athens.

    Arriving at the foot of the Acropolis, one of the most photographed ancient monuments in the world, you will set off with your group on a walking tour to the top. Your guide will stop along the way to brief you on its history. Once you get to the top you will have some free time to explore and take photographs. Admire the ancient temples of Athena Nike and the towering Parthenon, as well as the gorgeous view of the city of Athens below.

    Note: Expect high temperatures in the summer months and heavy crowds. There are upwards of 100 or more un-even steps to get to the top of the monument. There is a handrail in some spots but not all. Those not wishing to venture to the top can remain at the bottom and wait for the group to return. At the top the ground is uneven. Large bags are not permitted here and will need to be left on the tour bus.

    Next you will visit the breathtaking Acropolis Museum – an impressive building that was completed and opened in 2009 and has an exhibition space of more than 14,000 square meters. It houses every artifact found on the rock and on the surrounding slopes, from the Greek Bronze Age to Roman and Byzantine Greece. It also lies over the ruins of a part of Roman and early Byzantine Athens.

    Following your visit of the museum, take a stroll with your group through the enchanting, traditional streets of Plaka, the colorful old quarter of Athens, rich in neoclassical, ancient monuments and Byzantine Churches. Here in the Plaka, you will have a traditional Greek lunch before returning to your hotel where you will have some free time. The remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

    Overnight at the Divani Caravel Hotel or similar hotel.

    DAY 4

    Enjoy breakfast at your hotel. Check out is 2:00pm. You will be transferred to the Athens International Airport per your flight schedule.

    Luggage storage is available at the hotel for guests with late flights.

There is handrail in some spots but not everywhere. Those not wishing to venture to the top can remain at the bottom and wait for the group to return. The ground at the top is uneven. Large bags are not permitted here and must be left on the tour bus.

    The remainder of the day is at your leisure with meals on your own.

    DAY 2

    After breakfast you will depart your hotel for a guided visit of the Temple of Poseidon. Enjoy a wonderful drive along the scenic coastal road, which affords a splendid view of the Saronic Gulf and passes through the beautiful suburbs of Glyfada, Kavouri, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza, and Lagonissi.

    At Cape Sounion you will visit the 5th century BC Temple of Poseidon, standing some 200 feet above the sea at the edge of a cliff. It is one of the most breathtaking and deeply moving sights in all of Greece. This is the place where the ancient Greeks worshipped their mighty god of the seas, Poseidon.

    Lunch will be served in a traditional rustic taverna located in the small town of Kalyvia. In this eatery, you will enjoy truly traditional Greek cuisine.

    In the evening, you will take a stroll through the enchanting historical area of Athens with its traditional streets, restaurants, shops and colorful old quarter, where ancient monuments and Byzantine churches are abundant. In the Plaka neighborhood, you will enjoy a traditional Greek dinner before returning to your hotel.

    DAY 3

    After an American breakfast, you will board the coach and head to the Isthmus of Corinth to view the famous Corinth Canal, which is four miles long, 70 feet wide and has sloping sides 170 feet high. It connects the Ionian and Aegean seas to provide a maritime short cut. Note: this program does not include a transit of the canal.

    Your next stop will be at Ancient Corinth. The ruins that lie in this area are a surprising mix of a 6th-century BC Greek city and a 44 BC Roman city -- the latter was built after Julius Caesar placed a colony on this desolate site. You will see the ruins and excavations of both, including where the Christian Basilica, the starting lines of a Greek racetrack, a sacred spring with its bronze lion's-head spouts, and the elaborate Roman fountain of Peirene were located.

    After lunch you will visit the somber and mighty ruins of ancient Mycenae -- vestiges of a kingdom that, for 400 years, was the most powerful in all of Greece. Enter the Citadel of Mycenae on foot, approaching it through the famous Lion Gate. Inside are the shaft graves discovered by Schliemann. You will also visit the Beehive Tomb, known sometimes as the Tomb of Agamemnon, the Greek Commander-in-Chief during the Trojan War.

    A short drive will bring you to the first capital of modern-day Greece after the war of Independence. Nafplion is now regarded as one of the most romantic destinations in Greece, and you will walk through its Venetian and neoclassical buildings, old neighborhoods and large squares. You will see the famous Bourtzi protecting the entrance to the harbor and Akronafplia and Palamidi castles, which add a sense of drama to this stunning seaport town.

    DAY 4

    After your breakfast and check out, transfer to the Athens airport for your flight home. Should you have a late flight, luggage storage will be available at the hotel until your transfer time.
