Travel Period
Begin with a stay in Ljubljana, Slovenia, an underrated beauty just waiting to be discovered by the masses. Take in the quiet charisma of the city, the stunning nature of Lake Bled, and the awe-inspiring Postojna Caves before joining our one-of-a-kind cruise of the Venetian Lagoon. In Italy, your Floating Boutique HotelTM will whisk you away to colorful Burano, romantic Venice, and charming Chioggia. Then set off on a private train journey to Istanbul, during which you’ll sleep on the luxury Golden Eagle Danube Express with ever-changing views at your window—the perfect addition to a river cruise. Along the way, visit Alpine lake towns, historic cities across Eastern Europe, and more.
