Europe: Comfortable, layered clothing adaptable to changing weather conditions is always advisable for daytime excursions.

While packing for your river cruise, your attire should strike a balance between comfort and sophistication. Casually elegant outfits (slacks, skirt, or dress for women, and dress slacks with a collared shirt for men. No gowns, jackets or ties required) and something a little dressier for the Captain’s Dinner, La Chaine des Rotisseurs dinner or an evening concert are recommended.

Comfortable shoes are recommended for excursions and workout clothing if you plan to take part in any wellness activities, active tours or use the onboard gym. Depending on the time of year, clothing that can be layered is highly recommended.

>> Because this is an international flight, we will offer an (optional) 2-day pre-cruise tour to the beginning of the trip in order to adjust time zones and see a few sights in the area before departure.  If you opt out of the pre-cruise tour, you will still need to allow 2 days for travel to Europe, with plans to arrive the day prior to embarkation.

This means travel departure will take place sometime between Wednesday and Friday prior to sailing on Sunday, which requires traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday. This will not be an issue once we leave the US, but flight prices could be affected and missing a major US holiday may not make you popular with family. (Solve this problem by inviting them all to come along!)

>> Securing your Stateroom is critical because of limited availability. (This ship only carries 156 passengers!) As of March 11, 2026, there are only 10 cabins left on this ship. I suggest making a timely decision (which I hope is YES!) so you can get the room you want. The non-refundable portion of the deposit a small risk if you're seriously considering the trip.

>> Travel Protection Insurance is recommended and must be purchased within 14-21 days of deposit to avoid exclusions.

>> In late 2026, we will look at pre-cruise packages (completely optional), and in 2027 we would secure flights and transfers.
