Day 2
Nuremberg, Germany
Behind its enchanting facade, Nuremberg also has a turbulent history. During WWII the city was favored by the Nazis for party rallies; the boycotts of Jewish businesses began here, as did the laws that denied Jewish people German citizenship - known as the 'Nuremberg Laws'. By 1945, the city was reduced to rubble, including large sections of the Imperial Castle and Old Town. Allied powers - the US, Great Britain, France, and Soviet Union - held the Nuremberg Trials here between 1945 and 1946, where Nazi Germany leaders were tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Your Scenic Space-Ship will set sail this afternoon towards the city of Regensburg. Relax in your suite, many of which have a window that converts into a Scenic Sun Lounge, allowing you uninterrupted views to watch a rolling tapestry of river life as you cruise the waterway. We learn about the true engineering wonders of water locks and the skills of our captain taking us through them. ... Read More

Ljubljana, Slovenia, Slovenia
This morning, meet your local guide for an engaging tour. The 900-year-old Ljubljana Castle stands on a hill overlooking the city, its exquisitely restored buildings, quiet green spaces, and artistic installations give you a meaningful insight into Slovenian culture. The medieval Old Town area is off limits to cars, so is ideal for exploring on foot. During your guided tour you will see the 17th-century Franciscan Church (famed for its pale pink facade), the Baroque St. Nicholas Cathedral, the grand Opera House, and the excellent National Museum, housed in a former Neo-Renaissance palace. From a jewel box to a hidden gem; this afternoon travel around 40 minutes north of the city to the chic resort town of Bled. It's a favorite holiday spot for Slovenians but not well known to international visitors, so you're in for a real treat. The glassy blue-green waters of the glacial Lake Bled reflect the lush green mountains, the boats bobbing at shore, and the twinkling lights of Bled town by night. Board a traditional pletna boat to visit the Church of the Mother of God, perched on a tiny island in the middle of the lake. It was first built in 1142, though the current building dates to the 17th century, and visitors can ring the bell to make a wish to the mythical lady of the lake. Back in Ljubljana and after an included dinner, perhaps join the locals by the Ljubljanica River. Cafes set up outdoor seating along the banks, transforming it into a welcoming street party. ...
