Old World Prague & the Blue Danube River Cruise

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute has joined with Grand Circle Travel for an exciting river cruise and tour of Old World Prague and the Blue Danube River, August 6 - 17, 2012.  You will visit Budapest in Hungary, Bratislava in Slovakia, Vienna, Durnstein, and Linz in Austria, and Prague in the Czech Republic. 

Enjoy a seven day river cruise from Budapest, Hungary to Linz, Austria, and a three night stay in Prague.  Your tour begins in Budapest, the city known as the "Queen of the Danube," where you will board your private Grand Circle Travel river ship.  Discover the architectural glory of imperial Vienna, cruise through Wachau Valley, explore stunning Prague, and take in the sites and flavors of the Old World.  The tour, including international airfare from Pittsburgh, is priced from $3,805. 

Join with fellow Osher Lifelong Learning Institute members on this exciting tour, which is open to both members and nonmembers.  For more information on this river cruise of Old World Prague and the Blue Danube River, download a trip flyer here or pick up a flyer in the Osher Lounge on the fourth floor of the Cathedral of Learning.  For additional information, call 412-624-7308.
