This exquisitely designed journey shows you the picturesque villages and medieval cafestles of Germany, lovely Lake Lucerne, the canals of Venice, Renaissance Florence and always-elegant Paris. Take time to relax in the sunny beachside cities of Sorrento and Nice. Once every 10 years, Oberammergau, a tiny, picturesque village in the heart of the Bavarian Alps, reenacts an event which draws people of every religious denomination from the four corners of the world to witness the most poignant and moving story ever told. The sheer spectacle of the performance is beyond any West End or Broadway production, and is not to be missed.
