Explore and try new things by day and rest easy by night on board one of these ships, which come in all styles and sizes to fit your needs and preferences. FOTO VOYAGER/GETTY IMAGES VOYAGER/GETTY FOTO 4 BEST OF EUROPE RIVER VS. OCEAN Which way should you cruise? RIVER: From the Danube to the Seine, cruisers have more than a few rivers to choose from when pondering an aquatic European getaway. Those who enjoy getting acquainted with the world’s nooks and crannies – stopping in Germany’s Black Forest or getting a close-up of Russia’s cultural traditions – will be delighted by the intimate nature of river cruising. Port of Call: Amsterdam Many river cruise itineraries begin and/or end in this city of canals, bicycle lanes, and art (check out the renowned Rijksmuseum for works by Rembrandt and an unforgettable library). Another reason to extend your pre- or post-cruise stay: the centuries-old UNESCO World Heritage windmills of Kinderdijk. OCEAN: These voyages let the good times roll down the coasts of Scandinavia, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Greece, and then some. With this type of cruis- ing, the sea is the limit and guests can choose the trips that fit their preferences, right down to specific locations, trip lengths, and excursion types. Not convinced? Ocean- traversing ships generally have a wide array of cabin varieties and numerous onboard dining and en- tertainment offerings. Port of Call: London Set your sights on the UK's largest city for more than just the royals. “The changing of the guard is an iconic experience, followed by a guided tour of the Guards Museum to try on its replica uniforms and hats,” says Virtuoso travel advisor Martha King. “Another must: a di- rector-led look at the Churchill War Rooms below Westminster, where Calm waters under London’s you can step inside the actual Cabi- iconic Tower Bridge. net room and sit in Churchill’s chair!” JUNE 2018 5 CRYSTAL CRUISES The evolution of luxury cruising.

GENERAL GORDON'S LAST CRUSADE: THE KHARTOUM CAMPAIGN AND THE BRITISH PUBLIC by William Christopher Mullen On January 26, 1885, Khartoum fell. The fortress-city which had withstood an onslaught by Mahdist forces for ten months had become the last bastion of Anglo-Egyptian rule in the Sudan, represented in the person of Charles George Gordon. His death at the hands of the Mahdi transformed what had been a simple evacuation into a latter-day crusade, and caused the British people to re-evaluate their view of their empire. Gordon's death became a matter of national honor, and it would not go un­ avenged. The Sudan had previously existed in the British consciousness as a vast, useless expanse of desert, and Egypt as an unfortunate financial drain upon the Empire, but no longer.
