Embark on an unforgettable 12-day journey through Europe’s most romantic cities with Tauck’s Romantic Capitals: Prague to Paris river cruise.
Begin in Prague, the “City of a Hundred Spires,” where you are in for a treat! Because of the Tauck family connections here, you will enjoy a private aperitif and dinner at the historic Lobkowicz Palace and explore the grandeur of Prague Castle, immersing yourself in centuries of Bohemian history, art, and architecture.
As you sail along the scenic Rhine and Moselle rivers, your journey takes you to Frankfurt, a vibrant hub of modern architecture and cultural treasures; Koblenz, nestled at the confluence of two rivers and rich in historic charm; and Trier, Germany’s oldest city, where Roman monuments and ancient streets tell fascinating stories of the past.
Continue to Nürnberg, known for its medieval castle, picturesque old town, and compelling World War II history, before arriving in Bamberg, a UNESCO World Heritage city celebrated for its baroque and medieval architecture, winding rivers, and traditional smoked beer.
You'll have the opportunity to explore medieval walled towns, discover villages with unique shops and museums, partake in wine making lessons and tastings, admire art galleries, architecture and ancient artefacts.
The cruise culminates in Paris, the timeless city of romance, where iconic landmarks, world-class museums, and elegant cafés await.

At the conclusion of your cruise, part two of your adventure begins! Just an hour from Paris, Fontainebleau is a haven of romance, history, and French elegance. At its heart lies the magnificent Château de Fontainebleau, a former royal residence surrounded by sprawling gardens and forest. Stroll through charming streets lined with cafés and boutiques, explore the palace’s grand halls and art-filled galleries, or simply relax amid the tranquil beauty that has inspired generations of artists and nobility alike.
