inches on each side; the navigation of
them showcases the Captain's skill. This
evening enjoy your first dinner on board.

within Austria's wine-growing region,
Melk is home to an imposing 900-year old
Benedictine Abbey which features Austria's

ornate gold leaf walls, 640ft Imperial Corridor
and fresco ceilings. Later the ship sails
through the spectacular Wachau Valley and

Lionheart was imprisoned after returning
from the crusades in the 12th century.
