Breakfast: Onboard in the ship's dining room.

Morning: Explore the ancient city of Trier. You'll see Roman Emperor Constantine's massive basilica, erected in AD 310. You'll also stop by the imposing Porta Nigra (Black Gate), a towering gateway built around AD 200—now the largest surviving city gate from Roman times. The Black Gate served not only as a means of protection but also as a symbol of strength and power.

Or, join our full-day optional tour of Luxembourg, a constitutional monarchy located between Belgium, France, and Germany. With a territory of less than 1,000 square miles, The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the world.

Lunch: If you stayed behind, you'll enjoy lunch onboard. For those who participated in the optional tour, lunch is included at a local restaurant in Luxembourg.

Afternoon: Take the rest of the day to pursue your own interests.

Or, travelers on the optional tour will set off on a walking tour of Luxembourg City to see the market square, the Palais of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and the Notre-Dame Cathedral. As you get better acquainted with the country’s capital, you’ll learn why—despite its diminutive size—Luxembourg is an especially important ally to the U.S. After your tour, you’ll have free time to explore this attractive city. While discovering the Old Town or picking up a special keepsake, listen for the unique Letzebuergesch, a dialect of West German spoken here, which symbolizes the national identity of the people.

Later, you’ll ride by motorcoach to see the Luxembourg American Cemetery. By May 1940, German forces occupied the country, and its liberation (primarily by American troops) launched in September 1944. The Battle of the Bulge began with Hitler's desperate attack through the Ardennes to attempt to drive out the Allied forces. The resulting encounter, considered “the greatest American battle of the Second World War” by Winston Churchill, raged here from December 16, 1944 through January 28, 1945, a period in which American troops suffered tremendous losses. Following your guided tour, you’ll have an opportunity to gain a different perspective on the conflict, when you stop for a brief visit to Luxembourg’s German War Cemetery.

Dinner: Enjoy a Captain's Farewell Dinner aboard the ship.

Evening: You have the freedom to spend the rest of your evening as you wish. Perhaps you'll enjoy a nightcap at the bar or relax in the lounge.
