THE RHINE It is undoubtedly one of the most impressive rivers of Central Europe. Born in Lake Constance (Switzerland) it passes through the French city of Strasbourg and is in Germany where its beauty reaches the maximum splendor. The beauty of the landscapes of the Rhine is exceptional. From Mainz and up to Koblenz and Bonn the traveler simply cannot help admiring the landscapes that open before his eyes. With each new turn of the river more beauties appear. In every rock, in each mountain there are castles, ruins or towers with black and narrow windows that make you feel as if the centuries of history observed you through these windows. In the Upper Rhine, near the city Schaffhausen, you will find the famous Rhine Falls, an impressive print. A fairly wide flow is directed at full speed and with an incredible rumble down and falls into the void. The part between Koblenz and Bingen has been declared a "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO. More than 40 castles and palaces nest on the banks of the river. Its medieval towns, wooded slopes and its sometimes sheer vineyards make the area the very embodiment of romanticism. 20

THE DANUBE A cruise along Danube is an unforgettable experience through the history and cultures of South- East Europe. You will admire breathtaking landscapes, contemplate famous monasteries and imposing castles, stroll around famous cities. The Danube was once a long-standing frontier of the Roman Empire, and today flows through 10 countries, more than any other river in the world. It is Europe's second longest river and one of its great waterways. Rising in the German Black Forest, it runs through Austria, then Slovakia, where it forms the border with Hungary, then plunges down into Hungary itself and on into Serbia, for some while forming again the border with Croatia, then heads East, once again a border river, now the long border between Romania and Bulgaria, before losing itself in the great delta on the Black Sea where Romania borders Moldova and Ukraine, on its way, shaping some of the great cities of Central and South East Europe - Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Belgrade. 22

THE MAIN The Main river is a less-travelled but equally fascinating German waterway. If you are attracted by vast forests, fairy-tale castles, imposing palaces and quaint medieval towns, this is definitely the river for you. The Main's upper and middle sections run through the valleys of the German Highlands; its lower section flows through beautiful Bavaria in Central Germany, before joining the Rhine near Mainz. With its longitud of 527 km it is a major tributary of the Rhine. In spite of many striking changes of direction, the river maintains its central eastern orientation, which is rare in central Europe, and touches several Franconian lowlands, wine-growing region and numerous wellpreserved historic city centers. The Main in Würzburg and Frankfurt flows through particularly striking metropolitan areas. Already the Celts and Germanic Kimbers used the Main as a waterway. The Romans were the first to name the river (they called it the Moenus), and it also makes an appearance as the Meune in the medieval German saga "The Song of the Niebelungs," which first appeared in written form around 1200 AD. 24

THE VOLGA This exciting cruise along the Russian waterways will show us a different Russia with its lush forests, its islands lost in immense lakes, cozy riverside villas and landscapes of exceptional beauty. The Volga is the longest river in Europe. It flows through central Russia and into the Caspian Sea, and is widely regarded as the national river of Russia. Since ancient times the Volga was a lively commercial waterway between northern and southern Eastern Europe. Several artificial waterways built in the Soviet era connect the Volga with the 5 seas: the Baltic, the White, the Black, the Caspian and the Sea of Azov. The Volga river Delta is a species-rich habitat where flamingos and pelicans can be found. One of the most famous Russian delicacies, caviar, comes from sturgeon whose habitat is also on the Volga river. One of the deadliest battles in World War II was fought on the banks of the Volga River: the Battle of Stalingrad took place in Volgograd, a city located on a bend of the river. The Russian people's deep feeling for the Volga often finds echoes in their songs and literature. 26
