Overview

Unveil Europe’s most dazzling treasures as you sail the sun-kissed Mediterranean, explore four Italian Lakes, and sweep through the Alps on one of the world’s most breathtaking rail journeys.

Through a carefully curated series of tours and hotel stays, you’ll unravel the distinct charm of a quartet of Italy’s most famous lakes: Maggiore, with its grand villas; Como, where forested cliffs plunge into glassy waters; Iseo, home to Monte Isola’s timeless calm; and Garda, a fusion of citrus-scented shores and vibrant towns. A highlight of your Italian sojourn, the elegant Bernina Red Train climbs to the highest railway crossing in the Alps, its panoramic windows revealing palm-lined lakeshores and glistening glaciers.

Continuing your European discovery, Enchanted Princess® carries you across the Mediterranean, immersing you in the rich culture of some of the continent’s most desired destinations. Dubrovnik’s cobbled streets and Amalfi’s dramatic cliffs beckon, while Santorini’s blue-domed buildings shimmer against the Aegean sky
