M.V. ADVANCE

Welcome Aboard!

Dear Friends:

As the world grows smaller, finding genuinely authentic experiences to share with others becomes more difficult.  I founded Transcend Cruises based on uncovering these special moments from a local’s perspective for you, our very valued guests. Our shipboard crew serves our guests every day from the heart, providing a level of quiet luxury that is always inclusive – but never intrusive.  With just 55 spacious staterooms and suites, we provide a stunning floating boutique hotel experience that will be exquisitely decorated for the holiday season.

While enjoying a truly unique experience. Every moment of this sailing will undoubtedly remind you of the sheer magic of the holiday season along the River Rhine. The smells, sounds, and scenery will be unforgettable. Welcome aboard! I hope to personally show you how amazingly warm-hearted and fun-filled our Rhine River cruise will be. I promise you will come home with experiences and everlasting memories of our journey like no other.

So, grab that Christmas sweater your parents bought you out of the closet, and we’ll start warming the Glühwein!

Warm regards,

Hans Rood
CEO, Transcend Cruises
