Pre- or post-trip extensions

On this trip, you have the following extensions to choose from:

Prague, Czech Republic

4 nights Post-trip

Discover the “City of 100 Spires,” the name given to Prague for its many hilltop neighborhoods, where rows of steeples stand out against the city’s skyline.

Vienna, Austria

3 nights Post-trip

Explore Vienna, Austria—a magnificent, culture-rich hub that retains the grace and charm that has helped it stand out among great European cities for centuries and walk the streets where Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and Freud strolled.

Bruges, Belgium

3 nights Pre-trip

Originally a ninth-century fortress built to protect the Flemish coast from marauding Vikings, Bruges today retains its reputation as one of Europe's best-preserved Old-World cities.

Here's why 55% of travelers take these extensions:

  • You’ll maximize your discoveries and enhance your value by lowering your per-day costs because you’re taking advantage of your already included international airfare.
  • Our extensions include all accommodations, daily breakfasts, airport transfers, and other features.
  • This is a great opportunity to join your fellow travelers early or spend more time after your trip getting to know your Program Director and developing bonds with each other.

Combined trips

If you’re already overseas, why not see more of the world and maximize your value by avoiding the expense and length of another international flight? One of the most common River Cruises combined with The Great Rivers of Europe is Holland & Belgium in Springtime. Plus, you’ll save an additional $250 per person when you reserve two trips right after one another. Additional benefits include:

  • Apply the 5% or 6% Frequent Traveler Credit you will earn on your first trip towards your second trip. Plus, Sir Edmund Hillary Club travelers save an extra $250-$350 per person when reserving multiple trips in a calendar year
  • Our Regional Travel Counselors will work with you to make all necessary arrangements for a seamless experience

Cabin upgrade

Choose the onboard experience that’s right for you. Perhaps you’d like to be close to the elevator, dining room, or even your friend’s cabin—we’ll help you select the ship cabin or deck category that works best for you. Plus, when you upgrade to an upper deck cabin on many of our trips, you can enjoy your own private balcony.

Air preferences

See some of the ways that 50% of Grand Circle travelers are customizing their air itineraries on this trip:

  • Choose your departure city, airline carrier, and preferred routing
  • Depart from one city and return to another
  • Choose to arrive early in your destination before your pre-trip extension or main trip
  • Upgrade your seat to Premium Economy or Business Class for a more relaxing experience to and from your trip. Each airline has its own unique upgrade features, but here are the common perks associated with each class: Premium Economy normally features a larger seat, more leg room, and priority boarding, and Business Class features a smaller number of travelers in this section of the plane, a larger seat that can recline, more leg room, and priority boarding. Many travelers choose to upgrade their seat en route to the first destination on their adventure to arrive more rested and ready to explore—you can choose to upgrade for your roundtrip flight, or just one-way.
