With many of Europe’s cultural capitals situated alongside rivers, a river cruise is one of the best ways to experience many iconic sites all in one trip — think the Baroque palaces of Vienna, home of Beethoven (Bonn) and German UNESCO World Heritage Sites in medieval cities and fairy-tale-esque towns. This new sale from Gate 1 Travel — exclusive to Travelzoo members — makes cruising easy on the wallet, too. You’ll save up to $3000 compared with similar trips and visit during springtime (fewer crowds, more blooming flowers).
