Stunning city views along the Rhine, wonderful artworks and
”Art Basel“: Basle – Amsterdam
Our lecturer and his passion for art
Dr Frank Hildebrandt, curator of the Hamburg Museum
of Art and Crafts and visiting lecturer at two different
universities, accompanies this trip. No one else knows
more about art throughout the ages. Hildebrandt will give
lectures on board, answer questions and provide you with
information about the most famous art fair in the world,
“Art Basel” – an event you will have the opportunity to
visit during one of our excursions.
Depending upon the circumstances, it is possible that another lecturer will be on
board for this trip.
The Upper Middle Rhine Valley –
a UNESCO World Heritage Site
For the last 200 years, the upper half of the Middle
Rhine Valley has been considered one of the most
beautiful waterways in the world. Over a distance of 67
kilometres, the stream winds through picturesque vineyards;
castles are scattered throughout the hills, the
banks are lined with small wine-growing towns and no
course is complete without passing the famous Loreley.
A private tour of Namedy Castle
Namedy Castle has been in the possession of the House
of Hohenzollern since 1908. Over the years this defiant
moated castle has been transformed into a magnificent
baroque palace. The current owner, Princess Heide von
Hohenzollern, will give you a personal tour through the
rooms of the castle.
Exclusive visit to the Eberbach Monastery
The Cistercian monastery in Eberbach, one of the locations
used in the filming of “The Name of the Rose”, opens its
doors exclusively to our guests, offering you a tour, a wine
tasting and a concert in distinguished surroundings.
