Dear Friends,

I am so pleased to announce an extraordinary opportunity to sail with me into the heart of Germany and experience Jerusalem of the Rhine & The 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Dachau.

This meticulously crafted journey seamlessly blends history, art, music, food, and wine to create a truly bespoke experience. Guests will begin their journey with two nights at Le Meridien Munich, including a special visit to the Dachau Concentration Camp during the 80th Anniversary year of the camp’s liberation and a specially curated private symphony performance.  Then, sail for six nights aboard the newly launched and refined river ship, The Gentleman. Our boutique floating hotel will traverse the picturesque Rhine River from Nuremberg, visit the cities of Bavaria with their medieval landmarks, and sail onward to an area once known as Ashkenaz by the early Jewish settlers of the region.  A visit to ShUM, a medieval association of the Jewish communities in Speyer, Worms, and Mainz, commonly referred to as the “Jerusalem of the Rhine.” This region also inspired the most significant German poets, Goethe and Heine, as well as composers like Mozart, Liszt, Schumann, Beethoven, and Wagner. This will be illuminated through incredible private performances, specially arranged visits, talks, and panel conversations with me and other experts on the region.

I have collaborated with my partners at Transcend Cruises to create a fully customized experience. Every detail has been exquisitely designed while offering exceptional value. Jerusalem of the Rhine & The 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Dachau starts at just $3,999 per person. Additionally, exceptional Prague Optional Pre-Tour and Amsterdam Optional Post-Tour Extension Programs will be offered.

I will be honored to host you on this timeless, unparalleled journey as we embrace the region’s beauty, romance, and culture. This program is expected to sell out quickly. We encourage you to contact my partners at Transcend Cruises for more information or to book your participation at 773-351-4004 or via email at Sales@Transcend.Cruises.

Bon Voyage!
