YMT Vacations Adds Five Departure Dates to Successful European River Cruise Itineraries

EL SEGUNDO, CA – After the successful launch of YMT Vacations’ exclusive line of European river cruises in 2012, the leading provider of affordable vacation packages is pleased to announce an additional five departure dates for 2013. These river cruise and land tour packages offer travelers more of Europe in one vacation by gliding along the Rhine River in Germany and Amsterdam or visiting five countries with highlights of Munich, Rothenburg, Prague, Passau, Budapest, and Vienna on the Danube River. Each itinerary incorporates the casual elegance and relaxed pace of river cruising with YMT’s renowned land tours.

“River cruising is the best way to experience Europe,” stated Jerre Fuqua, President YMT Vacations. “Passengers can relax on deck and watch as stunning scenery slowly passes by. When in port, travelers have the opportunity to visit large, iconic cities like Vienna or Budapest as well as small villages like Melk and Nijmegen to experience true European culture.”

The 14-day Romantic Rhine, Dutch Windmills & Germany’s Highlights package is priced from $2,099 per person. Departing on September 4 and 18, 2013, this itinerary features visits to Berlin, Potsdam, the Rhine Valley, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Heidelberg, and Munich. Highlights include visiting Berlin, Germany’s once divided capital city and discovering East Germany, known for its classic castles and churches.

The 14-day Elegant Danube, Alpine Beauty & Bohemian Highlights package is priced from $2,099 per person. Departing on April 22, September 2 and 16, 2013, travelers will discover the history of Eastern Europe including a visit to Schloss Neuschwanstein, the model for Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty” castle; enjoy a full day sightseeing in Prague; and a traditional Bavarian dinner with entertainment in Munich. Those traveling in September will also enjoy a guided tour of the original Oktoberfest.
