Dear Friends,
The Gulf Coast Symphony (GCS) invites you to embark on an unforgettable journey that harmonizes music’s beauty with travel’s magic. In 2025, will set sail, offering an exclusive series of immersive travel experiences designed especially for GCS patrons.
These meticulously curated journeys weave together history, art, architecture, fine cuisine, exquisite wines, and world-class classical music to create moments of true inspiration.
Our inaugural river cruise, “Great Composers Along the River Rhine,” will occur from June 19 to 26, 2025. This extraordinary voyage will explore the breathtaking landscapes and historic cities that inspired musical legends such as Mozart, Liszt, Schumann, Beethoven, and Wagner. Aboard The Gentleman, our luxurious floating hotel, we will sail from the vibrant city of Amsterdam to the charming and historic Nuremberg in Bavaria. For those seeking to extend their adventure, optional post-cruise extensions in Prague provide even more opportunities to uncover Europe’s hidden gems.
To enhance this exceptional experience, we are delighted to offer an exclusive complimentary 2-night Amsterdam Pre-Cruise Stay for all bookings made by April 1, 2025.
