This unique itinerary is bookended by two fascinating destinations—Prague, the historic capital of Bohemia, and the spectacularly beautiful Swiss Alps. Connecting them is a scenic journey from Regensburg to Basel aboard the intimate Royal Crown riverboat along three rivers—the Danube, Main, and Rhine—as well as a transit through the Main-Danube Canal. Marvel at the rebirth of Prague since the fall of the Iron Curtain; enjoy the charm of historic castles; visit six UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Upper Middle Rhine Valley; sample world-class regional wines; and ponder the future ramifications of decisions made by the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Our privately chartered home for eight nights is the 90-passenger Royal Crown riverboat, just over half the size of most riverboats in the region and outfitted with elegant public areas and staterooms, perfect complements to the refined cuisine and friendly, attentive service designed to enhance your river cruise experience. Since we are sharing this adventure with travelers from Harvard, Stanford, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, I encourage you to reserve your space now.

  • Definition[Edit]
    Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque architecture, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the 10th century. It developed in the 12th century into the Gothic style, marked by pointed arches. Examples of Romanesque architecture can be found across the continent, making it the first pan-European architectural style since Imperial Roman Architecture. The Romanesque style in England is traditionally referred to as Norman architecture. Combining features of ancient Roman and Byzantine buildings and other local traditions, Romanesque architecture is known by its massive quality, thick walls, round arches, sturdy piers, groin vaults, large towers and decorative arcading. Each building has clearly defined forms, frequently of very regular, symmetrical plan; the overall appearance is one of simplicity when compared with the Gothic buildings that were to follow. The style can be identified right across Europe, despite regional characteristics and different materials. Many castles were built during this period, but they are greatly outnumbered by churches. The most significant are the great abbeychurches, many of which are still standing, more or less complete and frequently in use.[1] The enormous quantity of churches built in the Romanesque period was succeeded by the still busier period of Gothic architecture, which partly or entirely rebuilt most Romanesque churches in prosperous areas like England and Portugal. The largest groups of Romanesque survivors are in areas that were less prosperous in subsequent periods, including parts of southern France, northern Spain and rural Italy. Survivals of unfortified Romanesque secular houses and palaces, and the domestic quarters of monasteries are far rarer, but these used and adapted the features found in church buildings, on a domestic scale.
