    y PragueAN ELBE RIV ERBerlin CRUISE aboard the Elbe Princesse • April 23–May 4, 2017 WITH Jocelyne Kolb, Professor of German Studies Dear Smith Alumnae, The Elbe River has long been an important delineator of east and west in Europe. Linking two of the most fascinating capitals of Europe—Prague and Berlin—it traverses a land filled with captivating treasures, including cosmopolitan cities and picturesque towns; terraced vineyards and lush orchards; fortress-crowned crags; and the spectacular gorges of “Saxon Switzerland.” This eight-night river cruise aboard the brand-new Elbe Princesse embraces the broad sweep of history across this region of Europe in visits to some of its most meaningful cities, towns, and monuments: Wenceslas Square, ground zero of the Velvet Revolution; the Wittenberg church where Martin Luther posted his 95 Reformation Theses; historic Jewish synagogues and cemeteries; World War II memorials; Meissen’s fine porcelain workshop; the treasures of Dresden’s Green Vault; Potsdam’s whimsical Sanssouci Palace; and Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s Green Citadel, a fine example of a unique artistic vision often compared to that of Antoni Gaudi. From Bohemia to the former East Germany, the variety of visits and views in this part of the world is rich and unique. Accompanied by Smith Professor Jocelyne Kolb, soak up the fascinating history unfolding throughout this cruise while enjoying visits to noteworthy cathedrals, magnificent palaces and gardens, and art and architectural masterpieces old and new. This cruise is co-sponsored by Harvard and Yale, and the Elbe Princesse has accommodations for only 64 guests. To ensure your place on this voyage, please call Smith Travel at (800) 225-2029 or go to http://alumnae.smith.edu/travel.
