Dear Friends,
South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) is ready to create harmonious moments with you as our international patron travel program, Symphony Sojourns, is set to sail in 2025!
We are launching an all-new series of exquisitely curated travel programs designed exclusively for SFSO patrons. These meticulously crafted journeys seamlessly blend history, art, architecture, food, wine, and classical music to create truly bespoke experiences.
We are thrilled to announce the SECOND departure of our “Great Composers Along the River Rhine,” which will take place from June 24 to July 2, 2025. This cruise offers an impeccable experience exploring the region that inspired composers like Mozart, Liszt, Schumann, Beethoven, and Wagner. Aboard the stunning vessel The Gentleman, our exclusive floating hotel, we will spend two nights at the luxurious Sofitel Munich Bayerpost in Munich before setting sail from the picturesque city of Nuremberg in the heart of Bavaria to the historic city of Cologne. Additionally, a post-cruise extension adventure is available in Amsterdam, offering guests a chance to soak in this iconic city during its 750th anniversary in 2025.
We have collaborated with our travel partners to create a fully customized experience focused on composers and cultural destinations in the area. Every detail has been exquisitely designed while offering exceptional value. “Great Composers Along the River Rhine” starts at just $3,999 per person, offering an all-inclusive voyage that nourishes your mind, body, and soul.
SFSO patrons who voyage with us will delight in knowing that a portion of their travel supports our world-class musicians and the captivating live concert experiences we are known for, enriches our community engagement programs, and ensures that our Symphony in the Schools music education program continues to inspire the next generation of musicians and music lovers for years to come.
It is our honor to host you on this timeless, unparalleled journey as we embrace the beauty, romance, and culture of the region. Choose your own pace as we explore the picturesque countryside and the iconic musicians who shaped the world of music. This program is expected to sell out quickly. We encourage you to contact our preferred partners at Transcend Cruises for more information or to book your participation at 954-737-4709 or via email at reservations@transcend.cruises.
Bon Voyage!

Dear South Florida Symphony Orchestra Friends,
Finding genuinely authentic travel experiences today has become increasingly difficult for true classical music enthusiasts. Therefore, we proudly co-sponsor the inaugural 2025 Symphony Sojourn as the SFSO’s preferred travel partner.
Aboard the exclusively chartered all-new river ship The Gentleman, we’ve pulled out all the stops to create an inaugural journey to remember! Every moment of this sailing will undoubtedly convince you to return year after year. The scenery will be unforgettable during the best time of year to sail the Rhine River, and the special moments we’ve planned are unparalleled.
From private performances and Michelin-star meals on our Amsterdam optional post-cruise program to an outdoor performance on top deck as we sail the incredible Rhine River Gorge, every detail has been beautifully orchestrated exclusively for you. Please join us aboard what will be an annual Symphony Sojourn in style. I encourage you to book soon, as early interest in this program indicates we’ll sell out quickly.
See you onboard!
Hans Rood
CEO Transcend Cruises
