Trip Description
Working once again with Hewins Travel, we have put together a 12-day/11-night trip on Uniworld Grand River Cruise's Ambassador cruise ship. Enjoy small ship sailing. With only 64 state rooms and 168 passengers, this voyage visits the ports of Cologne, Koblenz, Rudesheim, Speyer, Strasbourg, Breisach, and Basel, followed by an extra day in Lucerne before flying home from Zurich.
Visit medieval wine towns, quaint half-timbered buildings, enchanted castles, majestic cathedrals, historic cities, and of course the region's natural beauty.
Whether you're a veteran traveler with MHS or new to our trips, we invite you to join us. You'll meet other members of the Maine Historical Society and forge friendships and memories while traveling and dining together. We look forward to traveling with you!
