Not simply a tour. A journey with depth.
This is a holiday of contrasts: the delicate detail of Meissen porcelain, the scale of an underground chapel, a quiet moment of remembrance and the glow of Prague from the river.
Guided visits bring the places and their stories into focus. Included experiences take you beyond the familiar city views, while multi-night stays let you settle into each destination rather than constantly packing and moving on.

A city that knows how to make an impression.
Dresden's domes, towers and richly ornamented façades create one of Europe's most memorable riverside skylines. Its historic centre tells a remarkable story of destruction, restoration and a city reclaiming its beauty.
Your included guided walking tour introduces the city and its history. The great dome of the Frauenkirche, the grand architecture around the old town and the sweeping presence of the Elbe give Dresden a character all its own.
It is a fitting opening to a journey full of craftsmanship, culture and extraordinary places.
Beauty, made by hand.
A finished piece of porcelain can look almost effortless. At Meissen, the demonstration reveals the extraordinary care behind it: the shaping, the fine detail and the steady hands that turn a material into something precious.
Factory entrance and a demonstration are included. It is a chance to appreciate a celebrated tradition from close quarters, where patience and artistry matter just as much as the finished object.
Watch the official Meissen film for a glimpse of the craftsmanship.
A palace garden. A river journey. A different pace.
Pillnitz was a summer retreat for Saxony's rulers, and its setting still feels wonderfully removed from the bustle of the city. Baroque architecture meets East Asian-inspired design, with gardens and riverside views completing the picture.
Entrance to Pillnitz Castle and Gardens is included, followed by a one-way River Elbe cruise back to Dresden. Together, they make a beautifully balanced experience: time ashore, followed by the pleasure of watching the landscape pass from the water.
Dresden, from the water.
After exploring the palace and gardens, settle into a slower rhythm on the Elbe. A river approach offers a fresh perspective on the city and the landscape that has shaped it.
Beautiful streets. Stories worth stopping for.
Kraków draws you in with its great market square, elegant historic buildings and streets that invite another turn. The Cloth Hall and the unmistakable towers of St Mary's Basilica give the old town its distinctive silhouette.
An included guided sightseeing tour helps you make sense of the city's layers of history. With four nights at Hotel Wyspiański, Kraków becomes a proper chapter of the holiday, not simply a stop between journeys.
There is beauty here, but also important history to understand. Your included visits explore both.
A city's history, through human stories.
The museum in the former factory's administrative building tells the story of Kraków under Nazi occupation, 1939–1945. Its focus reaches beyond Schindler himself, exploring the lives of the city's inhabitants during the war.
Objects, photographs and carefully constructed exhibition spaces give that history a human scale. Your included museum entrance adds essential context to this part of the journey.
