With our True Choice Program, you can choose to stay longer before or after your trip on your own, or combine two vacations to maximize your value. Here are more ways to create the Grand Circle Cruise Line River Cruise that’s right for you:

  • Choose our standard air routing, or work with us to select the airline and routing you prefer
  • Make your own international flight arrangements directly with the airline, applying frequent flyer miles if available
  • International airport transfers to and from your ship or hotel are available for purchase
  • Stay overnight in a connecting city before or after your trip
  • Request to arrive a few days early to get a fresh start on your vacation
  • Choose to “break away” before or after your trip, spending additional days or weeks on your own
  • Extend your vacation with our optional pre- and post-trip extensions
  • Combine your choice of Grand Circle Cruise Line vacations to maximize your value
  • Upgrade to business or premium economy class

The air options listed above will involve an additional fee of $100 per person for confirmed requests (as well as incremental airfare costs based on your specific choice). This service fee will be waived for Inner Circle/Sir Edmund Hillary Club members.

Pre-Trip: Bruges, Belgium
3 nights from only $695

Join us for a pre-trip extension to Bruges, Belgium, one of Western Europe’s great medieval cities. Originally a ninth-century fortress built to protect the Flemish coast from marauding Vikings, Bruges today retains its reputation as one of the best-preserved Old World cities on the continent. Its museums hold some of the oldest and finest collections you will find anywhere, and its narrow winding streets meander through the city beside a centuries-old canal system. It is often said that the best way to experience the charm and storied history of Bruges is on foot, as almost every street is lined with historic buildings.

Single Supplement: FREE.

Please note: This extension may not be available for all departures. Additional taxes and fees will apply. Ask your Travel Counselor for details.

Bruges is a pre-trip extension on the Antwerp to Basel itinerary and a post-trip extension on the Basel to Antwerp itinerary.

4 nights from only $695

Experience this storybook Swiss city for yourself! Extend your trip and discover the beauty and grace of Lucerne, Switzerland. Located near the foothills of the Alps along the shores of Lake Lucerne, with stunning views of nearby mountains, this locale is both picturesque and inviting. Lucerne owns a well-deserved reputation as a renowned cultural center with an emphasis on a rich musical past. Spend four nights here surrounded by the allure of a city full of historic buildings, wander the narrow cobblestone streets, and admire the spires, turrets, covered bridges, and fountains for which this city is famous.
