7-Night Rhine River From $1,999
DATE: Nov. 27, 2020
SHIP: Viking Longship Mani
ITINERARY: Amsterdam (embark) and Kinderdijk, Netherlands; Cologne,
Koblenz, Rüdesheim, and Speyer (Heidelberg), Germany; Strasbourg,
France; Breisach, Germany; Basel, Switzerland (disembark)
River cruises are a far cry from oceangoing itineraries. The pace is
much slower, and even without over-the-top amenities, the spaces
are comfortable and appealing. Every stateroom has a view, there’s
an inviting topside sundeck, and the main dining room is outfitted
with floor-to-ceiling windows. Truly, though, the Viking Longship
Mani’s purpose is to transport you between fascinating riverside
destinations. And on this trip, that means touring Kinderdijk’s
windmills one day and sampling a Kölsch beer in Cologne the next.
You’ll also see multiple UNESCO World Heritage
sites, stunning countryside scenes, and even have
the chance to visit a Mercedes-Benz factory.

7-Night Southern Caribbean
From $534
DATES: Nov. 16; Dec. 14, 2019; April 4, 2020
SHIP: Celebrity Summit
ITINERARY: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin
Islands; St. Kitts; Antigua; St. Lucia; Barbados; San Juan
Taxes, fees, and port expenses of $86 per person are additional.
After embarking in San Juan, this ship travels to some of the
Caribbean’s more distinct and less-visited destinations — and
offers an abundance of one-of-a-kind shore experiences. The
first stop is St. Thomas, where stories of legendary pirates add
fascinating essence (and, admittedly, some fun) to the island’s
historical tours. Chocolate confections and rum tastings are the
flavors of the day on St. Kitts. Take a catamaran excursion —
complete with a lobster lunch — from the shores of Antigua.
On St. Lucia, you can soak in the volcanic Sulfur Springs and
enjoy the benefits of a natural, mineral-rich mud mask. Finally,
go spelunking through Harrison’s Cave on Barbados.
