THE CHAIN BRIDGE
AT NIGHT, BUDAPEST
Budapest, Hungary’s jewel of a capital
city spans both sides of the River Danube
and of the many ornate bridges that cross the
river, the twin-towered Széchenyi Chain Bridge is the
most striking, and is especially mesmerising when lit
up at night. Imagine then, sailing into this glorious
city at night, under the iconic Chain Bridge, its lights
twinkling against the inky blue sky.
You can experience these views on a selection of Danube
river cruises, including Romantic Danube, Danube Waltz
and Grand European Tour.
FOUVIÈRE HILL LYON
Divided by two rivers, the Saône and the
Rhône, that gracefully wind their way
through the city, Lyon’s spectacular
topography was first recognised by the
Romans who founded its predecessor,
Lugdunum, on the slopes of Fouvière hill in 43BC.
Today, this basilica-crowned hill offers magical,
panoramic views over the terracotta roofs of the
UNESCO-listed Vieux-Lyon, one of the largest
Renaissance neighbourhoods in the world.
Take in the scenery of lovely Lyon on our Lyon &
Provence river cruise.
THE INSIDE PASSAGE ALASKA
The view, rather views, from the Inside
Passage are breathtaking. One of the most
beautiful places on Earth, this spectacular
network of sheltered waterways is home to
spruce-covered islands, snow-capped mountains,
landscape-moulding glaciers and small, picturesque
coastal communities. Full of natural splendour, it’s
no wonder these waters are so alluring.
Sail these beautiful waters on our ocean cruise,
Alaska & the Inside Passage.
